Casting spoilers from TV Guide!

Hill Street Blues star Daniel J. Travanti is headed to the other side of the law: The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor will guest-star as a serial killer in upcoming episode of Criminal Minds, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively

Travanti will play Mr. Mullens, a crotchety 75-year-old whose brutal murders 20 years ago earned him the nickname "The Butcher." Now suffering from Alzheimer's and depending on the live-in care of his adult son, Mullens crosses paths with Hotch (Thomas Gibson) and the rest of the Behavioral Analysis Unit when he comes out of retirement in a desperate attempt to reprise his violent past — a past he can no longer remember.

Travanti, 70, is best known for playing the intense, somber Capt. Frank Furillo on Hill Street Blues, a role for which he earned two Emmys and Golden Globe. He also starred on ABC's short-lived Missing Persons in the early '90s and more recently guest-starred as President Richard Mills on Fox's Prison Break.

Criminal Minds returns Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 9/8c on CBS. Travanti will appear in the season's fourth episode, "Remembrance of Things Past," which is slated to air in October.

Do you think Travanti will make a good adversary?

The writing staff must agree with you--they've already done it. *g* "Birthright" (season 3, episode 11).

Ohhh yeah! Hahaha! Thank you for reminding me. I feel stupid now.
He just doesn't seem like the serial killer type.

It's one of the things I love about CM. Wil Wheaton, a serial killer? Eeek, yep, guess so...

He reminds me of someone else.
I dunno who. But he has a really kind face.

LMAO ilu.

I totally thought it myself when I saw the ep. XDDD I was like "It's Evil Wil Wheaton!"

I'll admit... I didn't even realise it was Wil Wheaton in that episode until I read this thread. Then I was like "...OHHHHHH." I have poor face recognition.

Which is exactly why he'd be a successful one.

Yeah, that's true.
Sometimes it's good to have an unpredictable one.
