'Criminal Minds' stars Matthew Gray Gubler, Joe Mantegna Reunite

Nearly 4 years after FBI agent David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) left Criminal Minds, he reunited with former costar Matthew Gray Gubler.

“Had dinner with the guy who’s like a son to me,” Mantegna, 75, tweeted on Wednesday, August 16, alongside a photo of him hugging Gubler, 43, who played Dr. Spencer Reid.

Mantegna left Criminal Minds in 2019 after 12 years on the CBS collection.

“As I wrap up my remaining day of filming Criminal Minds, I will be able to’t help however reflect in awe at what a in point of fact glorious enjoy it's been,” he tweeted at the time. “As you understand I got here to a show already in production. I used to be welcomed by way of the forged and group instantly, making me really feel a part of the crew on day one. The subsequent 12 years could be a wild and beautiful journey. Yes, I will be able to omit playing David Rossi, and I’ll omit the wonderful writing that introduced him to life, however mostly I can pass over seeing my fellow solid buddies and our improbable team on a daily basis. It would possibly seem like a cliché to say we’re like family, but it surely’s so especially true.”

He continued: “In 15 seasons, we’ve all grown just a little older, hopefully somewhat wiser too. We laughed together, we cried together, and like a circle of relatives we gained and misplaced contributors alongside the way. Some got married, some were given divorced, some had kids, some had a couple of! … As I pack up my property from my trailer and cargo my automotive, I am happy with what we completed and happy with the paintings.”

Nearly a 12 months later, Criminal Minds — which started airing on CBS in 2005 — wrapped up its final season in February 2020 and Gubler took to social media to replicate on the remaining 15 years.

“I’ve carried those Three props with me nearly every day for the closing 15 years,” he captioned a Twitter photo of his FBI badge, pistol and watch. “After this night I’ll simply elevate them in my middle the place I will perpetually stay memories of the most efficient crew, the best cast, and the best fands (fanatics/pals) a fictional crimefighter may just ever have.”
