I loved him in his canceled too soon show "Dead Like Me"... and hey, I'm semi-related to him.. lol.. he's married to the cousin (Kathryn Grody) of my ex.. :) I met him once at a family gathering.. where can I pick up my brownie points? hehe.. :)

Yeah, Lance, I've known he was leaving for more than a month, at least. (I get Entertainment Weekly magazine. It said so in there. And before that, there were articles I read that were linked to IMDb. )

It also looks like Thomas Gibson *might* be leaving, too. If he does, then I likely won't bother watching it anymore. They were the 2 people I looked forward to seeing in Criminal Minds.

But even if it's only Mandy that leaves, I just don't feel as much enthusiasm to watch it.
