SHEMAR MOORE EXITS CRIMINAL MINDS
Shemar Moore (ex-Malcolm, Y&R) has decided to leave the CBS drama CRIMINAL MINDS after 11 seasons. The actor, who has been with the series since its debut, made his final appearance in last night¹s episode. "The Young and the Restless gave me confidence and told me that I had a right to be here [in Hollywood]," he said in an exit interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I got popular there, but I wanted credibility and to prove that I could act. What Criminal Minds did was help people see that I could handle drama ― and keep my shirt on ― and tell stories. Criminal Minds was college, and now I'm ready for grad school and the next step.” As for whether he’d make a comeback, he told TRH, "I went back for two episodes [on The Young and the Restless during Criminal Minds] and I would have done it for free ― and the same goes with Criminal Minds. If they'll let me come in and play for a while, yes. I'd love to come back.” Moore recorded a message for his fans here.
