Forest Whitaker Tackles The Small Screen
Filed under: TV News
Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker has signed on to star in a spinoff of CBS' Criminal Minds!
This will be Whitaker's first time in a starring role on the small screen, and the actor already seems enthusiastic about his new character.
"Our group, we are behavioural analysts, but I don’t follow rules," revealed Forest. "My character, Sam Cooper, came back to this unit only if he could operate without rules."
Sounds promising!

Even More Cuts At Disney!
Beckham Injured! May Miss World Cup
Love this guy! One of the best actors ever.
DUDE HAS LOST A TON OF WEIGHT!! GOOD FOR HIM.
God YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!! He was on ONE FULL SEASON of The Shield! Do your fucking homework before you post this shit.
dam, he's lost some weight!!! great actor..(the ears are taking over)
Moxiecrimefighter beat me to this but he is correct in stating that Forest did play a lead role in a season of The Shield, and had a recurring role in the follow up season to close out the plot. You and your staff do need to learn how to research better. Of course it is so much easier to slam and denigrate people which you do without cause so it is doubtful you will ever change.
I love when you report things that were reported months ago lol
sounds lame i love Criminal Minds and i hate spin offs specially with such a great show… bummer.
Yeah, as Moxie subtly pointed out he had a pretty big part on The Shield a couple of years back. He was excellent in it as in everything I've ever seen him in. You guys should watch "Ghost Dog" if you want to be blown away by a performance. He was the star.
oh oh ah ah Pin those suckers will ya
This guy is brilliant!
you reported this well over a month ago, whoever writws this blog these days should do their job properly
I loved him in his role as Edi Amin. Great actor and would love to see him in the new spin off. Good Luck!
Wow! He looks like he lost ALLOT of weight, he looks GREAT!
Love him!
He also had a memorable role on "E.R." as a man who suffered a debilitating stroke, and then blamed Dr. Luka Kovacs (the handsome and sublime Goran Visnjic) for his injury.
Mr. Whitaker has been blowing audiences away since "The Crying Game." He is an amazing actor–from Texas.
LOVE this actor. He kicked all kinds of ass on the Shield.
Love love love this man.
