Criminal Minds Star Kirsten Vangsness!

Join Jacqueline Foreman when she interviews one of the stars of CBS's hit drama series Criminal Minds, Kirsten Vangsness. Kirsten is one of the entertainment industry’s most charming performers, she plays the blonde, be-spectacled, brainiac, tech-kitten, “Penelope Garcia”. Originally, the role of “Garcia” was scripted as a one episode guest starring role but due to the overwhelming audience response to Vangsness – who last year was named one of the Top Ten “Scene Stealers by Entertainment Weekly – by the middle of the season, Vangsness was asked to join the show as a series regular: thereby giving “Garcia” free reign to hit on “Derek Morgan” (played by uber-hunk, Shemar Moore) to her imaginary heart’s content. Now in it's fourth season, CRIMINAL MINDS continues to soar in the ratings as every week (in the season three cliffhanger where “Garcia” was shot and almost died the show had some of it’s highest rating to date) as the team of FBI specialists looks for the bad guy while “Garcia” takes care of the computer needs and the comedy relief that this dark, suspenseful show has come to rely on.
