There's an old saying that's something along the lines of, "don't bite the hand that feeds." But if the hand is no longer feeding, does that still apply? While promoting his hit Showtime series Homeland in an interview with New York Magazine, star Mandy Patinkin took the opportunity to totally put his old gig, Criminal Minds, on blast, going so far as to call his participation in the CBS show his "biggest public mistake ever." Patinkin left the show in 2007, citing that he wanted to spend more time with his family.
His specific comments:
None
Patinkin went on to call his current show, Homeland, "the antidote," despite the fact that it's just about as violent as Criminal Minds is, and has the ability to be moreso considering it's broadcast on cable.
Do you think Patinkin was out of line with his statements? Sound off in the comments.
