Those of us who have followed Mandy Patinkin's career know there is very little he cannot do. He is a fine dramatic actor of films (e.g. Yentl), the stage (e.g. Sunday In The Park With George), and television (e.g. Senior SSA Gideon on Criminal Minds.) But my personal favorite is his foray into… More comedy, in the classic, The Princess Bride. Is Inigo Montoya your favorite Mandy Patinkin character?

Mandy Patinkin has been entertaining audiences for many years with his film and television acting and also his magnificent singing voice.
Audiences know him from a variety of roles including the film version of "Alien Nation" and, of course, one of his most popular, his work in "The Princess Bride". He was also a huge hit as the multi-skilled Dr. Geiger in the long-running television series, "Chicago Hope" and, more recently for that of FBI Profiler, Jason Gideon in "Criminal Minds" in which he starred with former "Chicago Hope" cast member, Thomas Gibson.
Mandy is very well known on the musical circuit as well and he does concerts as often as his acting committments allow. In 2011 he will star opposite Claire Danes in the new series "Homeland" which is sure to be a hit.
A very skilled man whom we hope will delight us for a long time to come.
I was watching "Criminal Minds" thinking Mr. Patinkin's character looked sooo familiar...Finally, I figured it out...The movie classic The Princess Bride. I couldn't forget the voice or face...Anyway, I really miss the character of Gidion on this show and hope he eventually will return...He is amazing at making you feel drawn into the character he portrays...It seems to me Gidion also was grooming Prof. Reed's character like a father figure/mentor...Therefore, showing a softer side of Gidion...Great actor...The cast members for this show are what makes the show so wonderful...Each actor/actress brings these characters alive in a special way....I look forward to watching every episode...Even the reruns...
A great member of the team, an even better leader, he plays the ultimate father role, even when he's not the focus of an episode he commands the views attention. His greatest and most controversial character was that of a "Reaper" on the acclaimed cable show Dead Like Me, a great show with a very large following, canceled not b/c of poor ratings, but b/c the new CEO of the Showtime had an ego problem, and wanted to try and create a network of his own doing, so far he has failed. Mandy has been has wonderful timing in comedy roles and is a treat to watch as he works his craft with an almost effortless ability.
