New Interview with Criminal Minds’ Own Matthew Gray Gubler

Matthew Gray GublerNew Interview with Criminal Minds’ Own Matthew Gray Gubler

 

The endearing star chats with Buzzfeed about his life as it is now compared to growing up, his misgivings about showing his art, and how he keeps his relative sanity after being on the same show for nine years.

 

Gubler’s choices extend to his own character; although he acts the part of the impossibly brilliant polymath Dr. Spencer Reid, he’s always balked at the idea of playing him as a stereotypical nerd, and from Season 1 he’s fought the image. “I’ll never touch a computer, I’ll never drive a car, I’ll never hold a laptop, I’ll never hold an iPad. My phone is from 1997,” he said of the character. “I have a revolver instead of a Glock. I just wanted him to be out of step, sort of not in any era necessarily.”

 

Here’s the hot off the press interview in its entirety, the first candid words we’ve had from him in a long while.
