In a February 2017 interview with Parade about joining “Criminal Minds,” Adam Rodriguez said his experience on “CSI: Miami” prepared him for the challenge of being the new kid on the block, but he found that the cast quickly embraced him.
“Having done a show that aired for a decade [CSI: Miami], you know the camaraderie, the relationships that get formed, so being a new guy is a bit of a challenge, like: How am I going to fit in with this group that’s already so close knit? I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been here six months now, but probably from day two or three, I felt like I’d been there from the beginning,” the actor said.

Rodriguez offered specific shout-outs to showrunner Erica Messer and lead Joe Mantegna for fostering a set where it sounds like a lot of fun is being had despite the show itself being about tracking down serial killers.
“Everybody’s happy to be there and we love what we do every day. It’s been wonderful. Joe Mantegna’s a prince. The whole cast just couldn’t be better,” the actor said. Rodriguez must be doing something right as he was one of the actors to reprise their roles for the reboot “Criminal Minds: Evolution.”
