A crack squad of FBI "behavioral analysts" tracks down criminals by anticipating their next moves in this dark CBS procedural. This live event turns the tables on the cast by exploring their minds to find out what it's like to work on this cerebral ensemble drama. This Paley Center for Media live event celebrates "Criminal Minds," the drama series about a team of "profilers" from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, all of whom track criminals by anticipating their actions. Michael Schneider (Los Angeles bureau chief, TV Guide Magazine) moderates the following panelists: executive producer Erica Messer; and cast members Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia), A.J. Cook (Jennifer "JJ" Jareau), Matthew Gray Gubler (Spencer Reid), Shemar Moore (Derek Morgan), Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss), Thomas Gibson (Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner), and Joe Mantegna (David Rossi). The panelists touch on such topics as: plans to further explore "the layers" of the team's personalities why Brewster and Cook were fired, and subsequently rehired on the show; and fan reaction to the cast changes. The panelists also discuss the following topics among others: Brewster's "surprising choices" during her time away from the show; Mantegna's interest in the show because of its strong ensemble nature; and the unique challenges faced by the show's writing team.
