Blackfilmandtv.com's Wilson Morales talks to #JoeMantegna on playing David Rossi on #CriminalMindsEvolution Season 19

An elite squad of FBI profilers analyzes the country's most-twisted criminal minds, anticipating the perpetrators' next moves before they can strike again. Each member of the "mind hunter" team brings his or her expertise to pinpoint predators' motivations and identify emotional triggers to stop them. The core group includes an official profiler who is highly skilled at getting into the minds of criminals, a quirky genius, the former media liaison who manages to adeptly balance family life and the job, and a computer wizard.

Mantegna plays Rossi, a Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He's been with the series since he appeared in the episode "About Face", which was originally broadcast on October 31, 2007, during the show's third season
