Where are the actors from Criminal Minds now?

In the show, Jason Gideon is played by Mandy Patinkin — the Senior Supervisory Agent of the BAU, considered the best profiler of the department.

Following undisclosed circumstances, the decision was made for Patinkin to depart from the show after the second season.

Subsequently, he pursued a few smaller roles before becoming a part of the cast of Homeland, where he remained committed while also engaging in other projects during breaks between seasons.
