In 2007, Joe Mantegna debuted on Criminal Minds as Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi, part of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. The confident and capable agent quickly found his footing within the tight knit Criminal Minds crew, and to this day, he’s been an integral piece of the puzzle, still shining alongside original cast members like Kirsten Vangsness, A.J. Cook and more.
In 2020, Criminal Minds came to an end, but it didn’t take long for fans to rally for more, and by 2022, the series was revived as Criminal Minds: Evolution. With the nineteenth season currently underway and the hit show already renewed for a twentieth, you might think these actors have grown bored of the characters they know so well—but that certainly isn’t the case for 78-year-old Joe Mantegna, who’s also left his mark in series like The Simpsons and films such as The Godfather Part III (1990).
