Cheers: Garcia — and Buffy — on Our Minds
Kirsten Vangsness by Monty Brinton/CBS
Cheers to
Criminal Minds for putting the spotlight on Kirsten Vangsness. The appealingly quirky actress, who's usually stuck behind a wall of computer screens, stepped out when techie Penelope Garcia met a hot guy in a coffee shop- and he shot her on their first date. Turned out he was a bad cop who thought Garcia was onto him, but the story line gave Vangsness the chance to share emotional scenes with her costars (especially Shemar Moore). Plus, it brought her a charming new love connection:
Buffy alum Nicholas "Xander" Brendon as a fellow hacker. Hope
Minds ' producers are smart enough to bring Brendon back.
