Cool Guest Stars (1)
In an episode called “Boogeyman,” which CBS reran a couple of weeks ago, the agents go to a small Texas town because three children have been murdered within one month. They institute a buddy system - no child goes anywhere alone, they all have to have a buddy. Through interrogating their only suspect, the team figures out that it is in fact the suspect’s young son. That day, another young girl doesn’t make it home. Tracy is with her buddy, Jeffrey, the child-size killer, who is making her walk through the woods. Eventually, Jeffrey gets mad at her because she is tired and throws her book bag. He then goes after her with a baseball bat. The fiesty eight year old kicks him in the knee and runs for it. Meanwhile, the agents and police are running through the woods trying to find them. As Jeffrey winds up to take a swing at Tracey’s head, Gideon grabs both him and the bat, while JJ moves in to help the young girl. The little girl who plays Tracey is Elle Fanning. I’ve seen her name but for some reason it didn’t click with me until today that she is Dakota Fanning’s sister.
Elle was born in 1998 and has already starred in several movies. Six movies in various states of production are due out in the next few years. She was in Daddy Daycare and played the younger version of Lucy (older version played by Dakota) in I am Sam. She’s also guest starred on a bunch of tv shows: another episode of Criminal Minds (The Evolution of Frank, II), CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Judging Amy, Law and Order: SVU, and House, MD. , among others. Quite an impressive resume for an eight year old.
