Lee -- they were trying to cast Harvey Keitel?

They're both interesting casting choices that I have a hard time picturing. Clearly, this new character is going to be very different from Gideon.

Well, just thinking about the two JM roles I'm most familiar with: Mr. Girardi on JoA and that movie exec on Starter Wife - they were v. different from each other.

More on Joe Mantegna's role in CM.

I just read that Patinkin is coming back to film some kind of "conclusion" for his character. But get this:

My moles at Criminal Minds have just confirmed for me exclusively that disgraced cranky-pants Mandy Patinkin will be returning to the show this fall after all — but only for one episode (airing Oct. 3), so as to provide some closure for his Gideon character. Strange as that may sound, though, that isn't the really odd part: He'll only be in one scene, and he'll essentially be the only one in it.

Why? Well, duh! My spies tell me that no one in the cast wanted to work opposite him again after he brought production to a standstill by pulling a no-show without even calling in (cough, cough) sick. What's more, Minds' producers were forced to use a special crew to shoot the pariah's scene because the show's regular staff refused to be on set with him.

Ausiello has more here.

Did you see that the writing staff of c.s.i. and 21/2 men are thinking of switching?

By which I mean - the 2.5 men guys would write a c.s.i. and vice-versa.

Great idea. How fun.

It is a shame that Mandy Patinkin has been such an asshat. I have enjoyed his work.

I heard about that. It's hilarious.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think Keitel wasn't about to do CM because he couldn't go full frontal. That was probably his deal breaker. If this were HBO, he'd be on the show now.

Thank God Mr. Wolf kept his clothes on in Pulp Fiction—I ended up getting dragged to that 6 times by friends.
