Forest Whitaker Considering Starring in Criminal Minds Spinoff
![]()
Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker is reportedly going to try his hand as televisions new leading man, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The website announced on January 25 that he is negotiation with CBS for its potential Criminal Minds spin-off.
If Whitaker is accepted for the project, he will the play the role of squad leader Cooper, who CBS describes as a dynamic father figure to the rest of the Behavioral Unit team. Cooper is a former well-known profiler who hasnt prominent in eight years.
The spin-off was written by Criminal Minds executive producer Chris Mundy, and is based on a story he created with executive producer Ed Bernero. Richard Shepard will be directing the pilot. The spin-offs story will be introduced on a spring episode of the original show, and will focus on a new group of profilers who work outside the FBI bureaucracy.
The producers wanted Whitaker early on, and initiated what came to be a lengthy on- and off- negotiation. When The Hollywood Reporter made the announcement on the 25th, CBS was close to locking him into a contract. Part of the contract will include a producing credit for Whitaker.
This isnt the first time Whitaker has starred on television. His numerous guest-starring roles include FXs The Shield, where he portrayed Lieutenant Jon Kavanaugh, and NBCs ER, where he played Curtis Ames, both in 2006 and 2007.

"Whitaker, if talks are successful, will play Cooper, the leader of the new team of FBI Behavioral Analysts Unit profilers. Cooper is considered a legend in his field and is seen as "dynamic, mysterious, and charming." He has been on a sort of eight year sabbatical (off the radar) from the Bureau with nothing but rumors of his whereabouts and actions covering his tracks."
"Hmm his character sounds awfully similar to David Rossi (Joe Mantegna). Im not saying thats a bad thing, but it does make me wonder whats going on over there in the BAU because it seems like all their best people go crazy and leave."
I'm not so sure either. I don't care for the NCIS spinoff, NCIS LA, but both of the CIS spinoffs have done well.Found this article on possibly a new Criminal Minds spinoff:
Also these from another articles:
Hmm,I'm not sure if I'm up for another Criminal Minds type show. This one is already dark and gory enough. I continue to watch this show because it's got such an incredible team of personalities. Any new spinoff, for me, would have to have just as dynamic a combination of characters on the team.
I became OBSESSED with this show a few months ago! My mom and I watch it almost every night on whatever channel it happens to be on. I can almost always find an episode on somewhere
A couple of days ago I saw THE episode(That's what I'm calling it without spoilers) from the current season. I cried my eyes out!
As for favorite characters, I really like Morgan and I've recently become attached to Hotch. I LOVE the relationships between Morgan and Garcia and between Morgan and Reid. They're just so sweet!
Does anyone else think that some day Gideon is going to make a guest appearance? I just don't think he'll be gone forever! Maybe it's just wishful thinking![]()
an appearance by gideon would be awesome, but unfortunately, it's very unlikely. mandy patinkin quit CM without telling anyone-just didn't show up for filming, which, of course went over like a lead balloon with the show's powers-that-be. he burned his bridges on that show, i think.
