No Harvey :(

by Katie Mientka

joe_mantegna.jpg No, Harvey Keitel won’t be replacing Mandy Patinkin on Criminal Minds. Ed Bernero, CM’s executive producer, announced Friday that the job had gone to Joe Mantegna. Apparently, Keitel was almost a lock when negotiations fell through because he demanded to have creative control and perks that the producers weren’t willing to give him.
So, Joe Mantegna. I was kind of hoping for Harvey Keitel. I can’t get past Joe Mantegna playing a cheesy mafia don-wanna be in The Last Don. This is kind of disappointing. I’m definately going to watch the new season of Criminal Minds, but I have to admit that it’s going to be hard for me to change my mind about Joe Mantegna. He just doesn’t seem like he’ll blend into the show.

    Katie, was Joe Montegna the father in the series, Joan of Arcadia? If it is the same guy I can kind of see him as a replacement for Mandy Patinkin.

    Joe Mantegna was on Joan of Arcadia. He played Joan’s father.

    Katie,

    Was Thomas Gibson instrumental in the casting of Joe Montegna, as the replacement for Mandy Patinkin, in Criminal Minds?

    I haven’t heard that Thomas Gibson was involved in the hiring of Joe Mantegna. It seems like it was a producers’ decision. I’ll try to find out more on that.
