ADD QUOTES
- Mandy: (asked what research he did for his role in "Criminal Minds") I looked at the original books of information that the real guys look at, and then I got them out of the house so my wife and children didn't see them and so that I wouldn't see them again. Once in a lifetime is enough for certain images.
