She will play a new profiler joining the elite team of FBI profilers

"Criminal Minds," from Touchstone TV and CBS Paramount Network TV, got
off to a strong start this season. Its second episode Wednesday hit
series highs in total viewers and all key demographics.

Brewster most recently starred opposite Hank Azaria on Showtime's
critically praised drama "Huff." She next appears in the feature
"Unaccompanied Minors" and the TNT movie "A Perfect Day."

Brewster is repped by UTA, manager Joannie Burstein and attorney Joel
McKuin.

I guess this must be the role that Portia De Rossi was offered, but
declined to take. I wonder why she turned it down. With Arrested
Development done, you'd think she'd need the work.
