Criminal Minds
Mandy Patinkin has been a staple fibre of motion picture and television for several X now , but audience should screw him beneficial asInigo Montoya inThe Princess Bride . The swashbuckling swordsman with the trademark sally ( " My name is Inigo Montoya , you killed my father , prepare to die " ) has followed Patinkin around since the recent ' 80s , but in recent days he has made a name for himself as a critically herald TV actor as well .
presently Patinkin can be seen on Showtime’sHomeland , where he plays Saul Berenson , supervisor and mentor to Claire Danes ' character Carrie Mathison . But before ending up on the Golden Globe - winningHomeland , Patinkin was one of the main casting members on CBS’Criminal Minds – that is , before he abruptly lay off the show .
In 2007 , when Patinkin failed to show up for a table read , it was take for granted that contractual divergence were involved . But once he had officially leave the show , the player revealed his distaste for the violence picture inCriminal Minds .
For a while after his departure , Patinkin stuck to clear fare ( musicals and such ) while still score guest appearances in dramatic function - and then in 2011 helanded the gig onHomeland .
Now that Patinkin has found a novel home on Showtime most viewers do n’t cerebrate twice about his sudden departure , but for those interested the actor has yield reasonably of an account . More so than that , he tellsThe Hollywood Reporterhis meter onCriminal Mindswas his " biggest public error . "
Patinkin say that when first approached forCriminal Mindshe had no idea that the series ' writer were going to"kill and rape all these women every night , every twenty-four hours , week after calendar week , year after yr . “Obviously with a show that seek to examine the serial killer ’s perspective there was going to be some death , but apparently Patinkin did n’t cognize the extent to which he and audiences were going to be uncover to it .
Patinkin says that working on Criminal Minds"was very destructive to [ his ] psyche and [ his ] personality,“and after leaving the show he"didn’t think [ he ] would get to work in TV again . “A major actor abruptly leaving a television receiver show is n’t something new ( i.e. Charlie Sheen andTwo and a Half Men ) but the way in which Patinkin made his exit must have open him the impression he burn up a fate of his Hollywood connection .
As we ’ve already revealed , though , Patinkin has found success again onHomeland , a series he says works as a perfect counterpoint toCriminal Minds .
" A show likeHomelandis the counterpoison . It asks why there ’s a need for violence in the first place . "
Patinkin might not be as recognizable in the latter part of his career as he was postPrincess Bride , but his comportment on award - nominated series has always collect him credit . Though it’sHomelandstars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis that have been getting all of the tending from theEmmysandGolden Globes , Patinkin more than holds his own .
