Criminal Minds David Rossi- Joe Mantegna

Senior SSA David Rossi, one of the "'founding fathers" of the BAU, was in early retirement until his voluntary return in 2007, replacing Jason Gideon, who had abruptly resigned. He had retired in order to write books and go on lecture tours, but he returned to settle some unfinished business that was not immediately specified. It was later revealed that the case involved three young children whose parents had been murdered in a possible home-invasion case that had remained unsolved. This case haunted Rossi for twenty years and prompted him to return to the BAU, where he eventually solved it.

Criminal Minds Alex Blake- Jeanne Tripplehorn

FBI Linguistics expert Alex Blake replaces SSA Emily Prentiss. She is introduced in Season 8.
Upon her employment at the BAU was met with some mixed reactions as the team was close to Prentiss. She joined to restore her reputation after an incident in the Amerithax case. As a result, she and Erin Strauss do not get along, with Strauss accusing her of joining for selfish reasons, but they eventually make amends. The rest of the team recognize her expertise and are generally less antagonistic towards her. As Season 8 progressed, Blake found herself in danger when she is threatened by a serial killer.

Criminal Minds Penelope Garcia- Kristen Vangsness

Played by Kristen Vangsness, Penelope Garcia is the team's Technical Analyst at headquarters. She is fun-loving and provides the rest of the team with comic relief. She got her last name from her stepfather—hence the Latina implication—but she is not Hispanic. She was shot and almost killed in season 3. She and SSA Morgan share a very friendly-flirty relationship but never go beyond that, although Penelope shows mild jealousy when she sees him dancing with two other women, and he responds negatively when asked for proposal advice by her boyfriend, Kevin Lynch. Penelope lost both of her parents at the age of 18. She taught herself to hack after she dropped out of college and was grouped with the best hackers in the world. After being caught by the FBI, she was given a choice of living in a high-security prison for the rest of her life or working for the BAU as an analyst. She is in a relationship with fellow FBI employee Kevin Lynch. When Jennifer Jareau leaves the BAU for a promotion to a position at the pentagon, Garcia takes up her responsibilities as media liaison and retains this position even when JJ returns to the BAU as a profiler.

Criminal Minds Aaron Hotchner- Thomas Gibson

Supervisory Special Agent  and Unit Chief Aaron "Hotch" used to be a prosecutor and was formerly assigned to the FBI field office in Seattle, but after stepping down for a period of time, he returned to lead the unit. He has a son named Jack by his deceased wife Haley. The two eventually divorced and remained on good terms until Haley was murdered by George Foyet, Aaron's Nemesis. Aaron's attempts to balance his family life and his job have been something of an ongoing struggle on the show. But in the episodes "Closing Time," "Family Affairs," and "Run," it is shown that he has moved on and is currently in a romantic relationship with Beth Clemmons.
