Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker and Janeane Garofalo star in this spinoff of Criminal Minds. They are special agents in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) who use unconventional methods of investigation and aggressive tactics.
This exceptional group of FBI operatives is strong in their beliefs and steadfast in their mission to bring the country's most dangerous criminals to justice.
Unit chief Special Agent Sam Cooper is a mentally and physically fierce natural leader who strives to avoid political bureaucracy and has handpicked an eclectic group of profilers - Beth Griffith, a strong-willed and outspoken product of the FBI Threat Assessment Task Force; Former British Special Forces soldier Mick Rawson, street smart ex-con John "Prophet" Sims, the attractive, tough and cunning Gina LaSalle perception; and Penelope Garcia, the computer wiz from Criminal Minds.
