Joe Mantegna is happy with all he has accomplished on “Criminal Minds”.

“I can’t help but reflect in awe at what a truly wonderful experience it has been,” Mantegna tweeted on Monday. “I was welcomed by the cast and crew instantly, making me feel part of the team. The next 12 years would be a wild and wonderful ride. Yes, I will miss playing David Rossi, and I’ll miss the wonderful writing that brought him to life, but mostly I will miss seeing my fellow castmates and our fantastic crew every day.”
“In 15 seasons we’ve all grown a little older, hopefully, a little wiser too. We laughed together, we cried together, and like a family, we gained and lost members along the way,” he continued. “Some of our family went on to other shows and jobs, and sadly, some we lost too soon to the heavens.”
