Friday, on the Criminal Minds blog site “Criminal Minds Fanatic“, the show’s executive producer Ed Bernero posted the following:
My first knowledge of him was in TV series SOAP (circa 1981) in which he played a Central American revolutionary that fell in love with Jesssica, but he actually started in theater in the late 60s.
He won a Tony for his lead performance (as Ricky Roma) in David Mamet’s Glengary Glen Ross.
He has appeared in over 70 films including David Mamet’s Homicide, Searching for Bobby Fisher and The Godfather III. He most recently reprised his role as Fat Tony for The Simpsons Movie, a role he has done a twenty times on the show.He also has a role in the as yet unreleashed Lonely Street which is based on the Steve Brewer mystery novel of the same name.
I think Joe will be an excellent addition to the cast and could really add something special.
cool.
Joe rocks
He might be alright. But it will be hard to top Mandy Patinkin. One of my favorite shows may be on its last legs.
