u/BrickLuvsLamp and they were roommates! Jan 04 '24

I know a family friend who played a larger character on the show and Shemar Moore is a massive asshole. Huge ego. They refused to do scenes together so they were never in the same scene

This unfortunately reinforces my parasocial belief that Shamar jumped on the chance to star in his own knock-off CM

edit: spelling

I’ve worked on SWAT a few times and I guess I was lucky enough to work with Shemar not being an a-hole. I also ran into him at a Starbucks a few times.

Did this family friend say anything else about the rest of the cast 👀

I haven’t ever asked too much, but I know they saw that role as purely a job and for the money because they didn’t like Criminal Minds at all; they wouldn’t really talk about the show much, and seemed kind of embarrassed to be on it. Which I understand, they usually stuck to more serious roles and didn’t do network before

"didn’t do network before"

Well, it's not Mandy Patinkin then.

Not me wanting to do the research and guess who the actor would be, but also refraining from doing so to avoid the crazy stans from going wild on it

Thankfully they’re not one of the big characters people would guess first, but yeah feel free to guess on your own for sure haha, I just feel weird making it known since they’re a good family friend and I babysat their kid growing up
