Before starring in Homeland, Mandy Patinkin was tabbed to lead CBS’ hit show Criminal Minds. However, Patinkin shocked everybody when he decided to leave Criminal Minds after only two seasons. Patinkin cited the source material being far too dark for his liking:

 “The biggest public mistake I ever made was that I chose to do Criminal Minds in the first place. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn’t think I would get to work in television again.”
