Mandy Patinkin is returning to CBS, not for his old one Criminal Minds but to Sunday’s newest drama Three Rivers. Three Rivers is about organ donation and that is something Mandy knows about. He will be playing an ALS patient who becomes a donor after he is taken off of life supprt. Donation is something he knows, “Patinkin has a very personal connection with organ donation, in 1997 and 1998, he received corneal transplants in his right and left eyes to correct the condition of keratoconus, an eye disease that creates a “cone-shaped” cornea which impairs vision severely. Patinkin’s corneas were donated by the families of a 13 year-old girl (right eye) and a 12 year-old boy (left eye).” Wow, I can’t wait to see that episode because it sounds like it is going to be a real tearjerker.
The show’s creator Carol Barbee had told us at CBS press event that they were going to bring real life stories about organ donation to the show’s storylines, but she never said that there would be actors who were personally affected by donations would be on the show and I have to admit I really love the idea. Hopefully the show that is struggling to find an audience will still be on the air by then, so please check it this Sunday and every Sunday on CBS at 9p!

Mandy Patinkin gone from Criminal Minds? |

|  Watch with Kristin has interesting story about Mandy Patinkin and his CBS show Criminal Minds. They are saying that he did not show up for a table read of the show and that he might no longer be part of the show. Maybe just maybe now he will considering being part of the straight-to-DVD movie for Dead Like Me, but I doubt that. I also find it interesting that he is the one rumored to be off the show when you consider how Shemar Moore spent his summer vacation, you know getting arrested for DUI and having nude pictures taken of him at a beach. Maybe CBS will pull Criminal Minds while they retool show and put on Jericho instead???
