=== 2005–2020: ''Criminal Minds'' and ''Homeland'' === [[File:MandyPatinkin 1 13 12.JPG|thumb|right|Patinkin outside the [[Ethel Barrymore Theatre]] in 2012]] In September 2005, he debuted in the role of [[Jason Gideon]], an experienced [[Offender profiling|profiler]] just coming back to work after a series of [[nervous breakdown]]s, in the [[CBS]] crime-drama television series ''[[Criminal Minds]]''.<ref name=Philly7 /> Patinkin was absent from a table read for ''Criminal Minds'' and did not return for a third season. The departure from the show was not due to contractual or salary matters, but over creative differences. He left apologetic letters for his fellow cast members explaining his reasons and wishing them luck. Many weeks before his departure, in a videotaped interview carried in the online magazine ''Monaco Revue'', Patinkin told journalists at the [[Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo]] that he loathed violence on television and was uncomfortable with certain scenes in ''Criminal Minds''. He later called his choice to do ''Criminal Minds'' his "biggest public mistake" and stated that he "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. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again."<ref name="The Hollywood Reporter">{{cite news|title=Mandy Patinkin: 'Criminal Minds' Was 'Destructive to My Soul'|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/mandy-patinkin-criminal-minds-370339|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|publisher=[[Valence Media]]|location=Los Angeles, California|access-date=September 20, 2012|first=Seth|last=Abramovitch|date=September 13, 2012}}</ref> Patinkin spoke of having planned to tour the world with a musical and wanting to inject more comedy into the entertainment business.<ref>{{cite web|title=Videotaped interview with Monaco Revue |url=http://monacorevue.com/people/iv1070830.php|access-date=March 22, 2013|website=Monaco Revue}}</ref> In later episodes of ''Criminal Minds'', during the 2007–08 season, Jason Gideon was written out of the series and replaced by Special Agent [[David Rossi]] (played by [[Joe Mantegna]]). Gideon was later officially [[killed off]], ending all chances of a guest appearance by Patinkin on the show. In 2008, Patinkin portrayed [[Prospero]] in an [[off-Broadway]] musical production of ''[[The Tempest]]'' opposite Elisabeth Waterston and [[Michael Potts (actor)|Michael Potts]]. Marilyn Stasio of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' wrote, "Patinkin has a beautiful voice, as warm and golden as honey spooned from a jar -- the perfect voice to sing us through "The Tempest," the most musical of Shakespeare's late plays."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://variety.com/2008/legit/reviews/the-tempest-14-1200470435/|title= The Tempest|website= Variety|date= September 19, 2008|access-date= November 1, 2023}}</ref> On October 14, 2009, it was announced that Patinkin would be a guest star on an episode of ''[[Three Rivers (TV series)|Three Rivers]]'', which aired on November 15, 2009.
