Patinkin Loses Role
The TV drama “Criminal Minds” is experiencing some controversy on the set. Actor Mandy Patinkin failed to show up on the set for a read through of the script after learning that his character is being written out of the show. Patinkin plays case solver Jason Gideon on the show. It’s believed that this entire incident has arisen because of salary issues that were disputed last year between the star and producers. It seems like the world of television is experiencing its share of real life drama. Grey’s Anatomy certainly has their share. I think some actors are taking their roles for granted. Characters have been killed off and written out time and time again since the beginning of TV history. I don’t understand how actors have gotten it into their heads that the show can’t possibly go on without them. Patinkin’s attitude may just have resulted in ensuring his place in the future on one of those “where are they now?” shows.
