ACTOR Mandy Patinkin has revealed his biggest TV regret.

The actor — who’s the costar of Showtime’s Emmy Award-nominated psychological thriller Homeland — admits he’s not proud of every bullet point on his TV résumé.

“The biggest public mistake I ever made was that I chose to do Criminal Minds in the first place. I thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year,” he said.

” It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn’t think I would get to work in television again.”

Patinkin starred in the first two seasons of the hit procedural Criminal Minds, which will enter its eighth season in September. When the series debuted on CBS in 2005, critics heaped praise on Patinkin, who portrayed an FBI analyst tasked with chasing down serial killers, rapists, and psychopaths.

Homeland also stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis.
