Forest Whitaker Criminal Minds Spinoff
According to WENN, the Last King of Scotland star will play Cooper, the squad leader of a group of profilers who work outside the typical FBI bureaucracy.
The character is described as dynamic, mysterious, charming and a father figure to the rest of the team. He is also a former star profiler in the Behavioural Unit who has been off the radar for the past eight years.
Minds executive producer Chris Mundy wrote the planned spinoff, from a story by him and Minds showrunner Ed Bernero.
Richard Shepard is directing the pilot, which is anticipated to be introduced by the parent show this spring.
