This little article is nothing new really but i thought i would share it anyway.

Criminal Minds fans may have noticed Matthew Gray Gubler, who plays Dr. Spencer Reid, has been using a cane for most of this season. That isn’t a plot point, notes USA Weekend’s Brian Truitt.

Gubler hurt his knee some seven months ago while being “a little too overzealous” on the dance floor and has been recovering ever since. Gubler tells Truitt that it was such a “unique” and “legendary” injury – in which his knee was basically “dismantled” – that he figures it will “go down in a textbook somewhere for sure.”

Although Gubler says he’s “on very strict instructions not to do anything (other than walk) until October of 2010,” he will eventually be able to walk without a cane and even without a limp. “It’s really a miracle.”
