CRIMINAL MINDS: SIMON MIRREN


Criminal Minds: I received a phone call today from Simon Mirren, Co-Executive Producer of Criminal Minds, who wanted me to let everyone know that he, and the rest of the cast and crew, love our Criminal Minds website and blog. He wanted everyone to know how much they all appreciate our devotion to the show and the care and support we have given to them and the show. He is a charming man with the sweetest accent you have ever heard. So "Best Wishes and Thank You" from Simon Mirren and to Simon Mirren: Feel free to call me anytime. You made my day. Thank you for that and everything you do to help produce the best tv show on the air.

How lovely that he took the time out of his day to acknowledge the fans. Class act!

cory said...

I would have fainted. You must be made of steel. I just would have fainted. I love the show and I am constantly amazed at the appreciation they have for us.

allie said...

Classy show with classy people running it. Doesn't get much better than that. Now if he would take a moment and clarify the Reid drug issue I would be thrilled!

maura said...

OMG! I would have died. What a really kind thing for him to do for all of us. Thank you for sharing it with us.

b.j. said...

That is so sweet. What a stand up thing to do. I do think I also would have fainted. lol

mona said...

That was really very nice of him. I love the show and the behind the camera people have been so good to us.

Success of a show is a team effort. CM definitely has a great team. We appreciate their efforts. We are glad that they appreciate us too.

We do have a whole lot of fun doing what we do...

babruin said...

His praise was for everyone. The website and blog are the hard work of everyone. He is a very sweet person and I appreciate him acknowledging us in this way. :)

monica said...

Very cool.

Lin said...

I'm with Monica -- very cool. These people are seriously a class act.

And you totally deserve all the recognition you get, Jill! Congratulations.

julie said...

Very nice. They all seem like such nice people. No wonder the show is so great.

Ambra said...

How cool! It was nice of him to let you and the rest of us know how much he and everyone involved in the show appreciate the fans' support!

Kris said...

Wow Jill, that is great. What was your face like when he identified himself to you? Were you nervous a little? I would have been!

Elizabeth said...

Aww Jill, that's lovely. How sweet of him to call you, and how well-mannered.

edwina said...

There are so many reasons to love the show and the fact that the people who are making it are such nice people is just another great reason.

wilma said...

It is nice to feel the love we give to the show coming back to us. I have been slightly annoyed lately but since you don't want it discussed on the blog I am keeping it to myself. This went a long way to making me feel much better. It was a stand up thing for him to do and I personally appreciate it.

steven said...

Very classy. He sounds like a nice man. No surprise.

callie said...

very cool

kara said...

It is nice to know that they appreciate us. We certainly appreciate them. Love the show. I think I have now converted everyone I know to watching it on a weekly basis. I am looking forward to FK2.

cedrine said...

I have to agree with everyone who has already posted. Class Act for calling you and I know you are modest but you deserve it. Nobody does more to promote positively promote the show than you do.

simone said...

Just when I think I can't love these people any more than I already do they turn around and do something this nice. First Kirsten and then Gina and Scott and now Simon Mirren. Very nice. Very deserved and very classy. I hope you told him that we love the show!

tessa said...

I agree with Lee. I love Simon Mirren. Too bad you couldn't keep him on the phone long enough to ask him a bunch of questions for us. Is that something we might be able to arrange in the future or is that pushing our luck????

jessie said...

Very nice. Awesome call!

lorna said...

This is very cool! Thank you Mr. Mirren.

celia said...

I think his aunt if Helen Mirren. She was wonderful in the Queen. What a great call that must have been!

amelia said...

I think you are right correct Celia. What a talented family. I appreciate that he called you very much. As a fan I appreciate being appreciated too.

danielle said...

How lucky are we that this fine group of people were assembled to produce our show. No wonder it is so wonderful. We are very lucky fans.

ellen said...

Thank you Mr. Mirren!

erika said...

We appreciate your kind words. I bet Jill will always remember and cherish her time on the phone with you.

Lori said...

This is so exciting! If all of us are this excited about it, I can't even imagine how Jill excited must have been when she got his call!

Jan & Quentin said...

What a wonderful thing for Mr. Mirren to do. I'm sure he is a very busy man and is sweet to acknowledge the fans.

BTW, long ago Quentin and I noted the similarity between Helen Mirren and the actress who played in Riding the lightening (Storm Mirren?) and the fact that Simon Mirren had the same last name.... We were shot down at the time. Nyah nyah.

Extra treats for Q. Extra CM for me!

sarah said...

Best wishes to him as well and a huge thank you for our wonderful CM!

shannon said...

What an awesome thing to have happen. You deserve it.

marilyn said...

Simon Mirren is wonderful. I was pleased when you posted the article link a few months back which said he had been resigned to a multi year deal. Great news for all of us.

francine said...

That is a wonderful thing he did!

nancy said...

That is a really great call to receive. I would be too shocked to speak. How nice that they care so much about us to make such an effort.

lydia said...

In the few interviews with him that I have read he seems like a genuinely nice person.

charlotte said...

Now he is a part of our team CM. Love it.

dina said...

It is incredible that they are as loyal to us as we are to them.

sandy said...

I almost missed this. We have been away for a few days. Wow.

Anonymous said...

Very exciting. I love the show!

amanda said...

Did you almost have a heart attack??

tina said...

These people are freakin amazing. Really amazing. I never get tired of how much they appreciate us when it is really us that should be appreciating them.

alexis said...

I love the show and the people behind the camera. Thank you to Simon Mirren.

alicia said...

Incredibly exciting.

lauren said...

I realize that he is swamped busy due to the current situation but I hope he starts posting soon. I look forward to reading what he has to say.

carolina said...
