while I originally went in search of something to expand upon the post by andrea_ms, I instead came across yet another bit on the TV Guide website in the Ausiello Report about the parting of MP. included in this blog is some quotage straight from the mouth of Shemar Moore. click here to go directly to the specific blog entry.

it's good to hear from an actual member of the cast concerning this whole thing. I feel like the remaining cast have the most right to any opinion in this matter. the way shemar put the whole thinge is absolutely perfect.

plus, there is some great stuff about his own recent run-in with a certain tabloid and some law enforcement people. trust me. click the link in his second to last quote. it's fantastic.

...Michael KEATON? God. please, no. I beg you. Not that.

that is exactly what I thought the instant I read that line. thankfully, I believe he is currently working on some show for FX. at least I hope he is far too busy to ruin join our beloved show.

Omg. Yes, thank GOD he's busy.

I will watch the show with or without Mandy. I liked his character, and think he's a great actor, but what he did to his coworkers stinks of absolute childishness.

exactly. like shemar said, I hope he learned a lesson from this.

"Thank God the water was fairly warm"

That made me LOL. :)

Thanks for this post, it's nice to see a co-worker's point of view on this. And yeah, Mandy really isn't making himself look good over this. That was a sucky thing to do to your castmates.

I bet Geena Davis would be a cool profiler. It'll be neat to see how the writers do this.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

yeah, I cracked up at that comment.

The only thing I've been worrying about this whole time is the actor they were going to get to replace Mandy (if it was someone with a David Caruso style...you could say goodbye). I'm glad it's probably Geena Davis, she's a good actress and would make an interesting profiler.

I'm all about Geena Davis. I'm a huge fan of hers and I think she'd be a great profiler.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think they'd get mobbed if they tried to put some David Caruso wannabe in there.

[notcrzyjustalex.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I was thinking.

I'm guilty of finding the uncensored photos. *flail* I feel like a terrible person. But I was -curious-, so hey. I heard about all of Shemar's woes a while ago, but it's definitely nice to hear something directly from a cast member. It feels a lot more real, y'know?

Geena Davis. Huh. Maybe it'll be okay - I'm more optimistic with a name like hers in the front-running. She's an excellent actress.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

yeah, at least we know some good people are actually interested in the part. I kind of like the idea of having a woman at the front, too. that's rare, and this is just the kind of show to make it a bit less rare.

Yes! Geena Davis. I was kind of hoping it would be Katie from epi 2.02. Are they going to leave us hanging with Gideon's backstory? The two wedding rings, estranged son, ex/dead wife? They did this with Elle, I really hope they dob't do it again. I have to say, I really dislike Mandy Patinkin right now.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I imagine they don't really have much choice but to leave us hanging with his back story. it's rather unfortunate.

dude...they should so bring in Kate as a permenant character.
