Gen X comedian and “Larry Sanders Show” icon Janeane Garofalo, who joined “The West Wing” and “24” late in their runs, is now negotiating to join CBS’ midseason “Criminal Minds” spin-off, according to Deadline Hollywood.
This could be Garofalo’s third turn playing an FBI agent, following her turns in “Clay Pigeons” and “24.”
From writer-producers Chris Mundy (“Line of Fire,” “Cold Case”) and Edward Allen Bernero (“Brooklyn South,” “Third Watch”), the spin-off follows another team of FBI behavioral analysis unit operatives. Garofalo’s co-stars include Forest Whitaker (“The Shield,” “Repo Men”) and Beau Garrett (“Made of Honor,” “Tron Legacy”), whose characters already appeared on the mother series.
Garofalo’s other big-screen credits include “Reality Bites,” “The Truth About Cats and Dogs” “Mystery Men” and “Ratatouille.”
