Laura Dahl send me an email about a great article she wrote. She took a look at the comparison between his two characters, Dr. Reid and Bart from the film ‘How To Be A Serial Killer’. It is a great article and you should go and read it. Here is a little part from it…

No one knows the criminal mind better than Dr. Spencer Reid, of the CBS series Criminal Minds, so who better to cast as the eager apprentice to a cold-blooded murderer in the movie How to be a Serial Killer, than the same clever actor – my brother, Matthew Gray Gubler.

Matthew plays Bart, a simple video store clerk who anxiously accepts the invitation to learn all the ins and outs of serial killing under the tutelage of a seasoned professional, Mike, played by Dameon Clarke.

Bart becomes the audience’s eyes and through his perspective we watch as this reserved and tortured character fluffs up with confidence and gains a sense of serenity by finally finding his purpose in life. That purpose just happens to be murder.

I found it fascinating how similar Matthew’s two, seemingly contrasting characters, really are. It’s as though Reid and Bart started out as the same person, but through a series of distinctly different life choices, developed into completely opposite creatures with disparate beliefs and ethics.

They’re both socially awkward. They both long to find their place in society, and they both gravitate to a life in crime. Criminal Minds the series is fundamentally based on the methodology that one must “become” a criminal in order to catch a criminal. If that’s true, Reid must know Bart pretty darn well.
