Patinkin is fickle with songs, too

“He's like the Library of Congress when it comes to this kind of music”

Sometimes, it takes the right suggestion to nudge someone into a new world. You can ask Mandy Patinkin - who stars at the Wharton Center tonight - about that. via Lansing State Journal

I don't know if Mandy will get this but I just wanted to know why he is leaving Criminal Minds? He is just excellent on that show!!!

Bye Mr. Patinkin will miss seeing on the tube; bye Criminal Minds won't be seeing you after October 3.

I know I'm a bit slow on the uptake but he can't really be gone from Criminal Minds? It won't be the same, it'd be like The Dams Raid without Guy Gibson, Rock n Roll without Elvis. I didn't even like the original CSI when William Peterson was out of it. Like eating a cake without the best bits in to make it good! I'm still watching the repeats over here but if Mandy's not going to be in it I don't know if I shall bother with Criminal Minds......

sorry Mandy left show BUT the cast is still great together and the show I hope will survive.
