This might not silence the critics that are peeved at CBS for its decision to scale back on the screen time of two key Criminal Minds stars - but a well-known actress is coming to that show's spin-off.
As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, Janeane Garofalo is on the verge of joinng the Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior cast. She'll play an agent under the command of Forest Whitaker's lead character, who was introduced earlier this season.
A comedian, Garofalo has established her dramatic acting chops on such hits as The West Wing and 24.
She'll join Beau Garrett as the two main female agents on this upcoming spin-off.
