Exclusive: 'Twilight' hottie sinks teeth into 'Criminal Minds' role

Categories: Criminal Minds

Jacksonrathbone_l_2Someone better make room on the crowded Twilight bandwagon, ’cause Criminal Minds is jumping on.

The CBS procedural has tapped Jackson Rathbone — a.k.a. Twilight vamp Jasper Hale — to guest star in an upcoming episode directed by Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander.

Rathbone will play a college student on spring break who may or may not be the target of a serial killer.

His episode is slated to air in April.

    im more surprised thats its being directed by seinfeld’s jason alexander than some twilight kid. hmmmm….wonder if jason alexander’s serial killer will make an appeareance, you know the kind of serial killer that has a grudge with one of the BAU’s like gideon nemesis.

  • Charlee

    Hopefully he will have more dialogue on Criminal minds than what he had on Twilight.

  • Molly Virginia

    well i might just have to give criminal minds a try if jasper is going to be on there…

  • pinkpanda

    coooooool

  • seriously

    I think that Edward Scissorhands, I mean Jackson, would be perfectly cast as Angelina Jolie if they ever made a movie of her life. I mean SERIOUSLY!

  • leflem

    He’s the only guy from that movie who’s talented and good looking. I hope he breaks away from the Twilight series before it condemns him to anonymity once its over.

    He’s so weird. Not at all how I pictured Jasper.

  • Cas

    If you want to see a much better picture of Jackson go to http://criminalmindsfanatic.blogspot.com/ and scroll down a bit.

    Cas,
    Day-ummm. You’re right. That’s a hot picture of Jackson. No one will mistake him for a woman there. Thanks for the link!

  • UnintendedChoice

  • Miss B

    What’s with the cast of Twilight and their hair? Must they all have such awful hairstyles? Is bad hair a requirement for vampires, or they just allergic to shampoo, scissors, and their natural hair colors?

  • Miss B

    I’ll concede that Jackson’s ‘do in the pic Cas linked to is a VAST improvement.

  • HellsBells

    wow. I didnt know he was in a band. gravy!

  • Karina

    Can’t wait to watch that episode. Jacksons so hot.

  • Sarah T.

    That’s awesome! I can’t wait to see him in ‘Criminal Minds’- love that show and LOVE him! He is SO gorgeous… plus he is so charming and charismatic! He just has something about him that pulls you in. =D

  • Sarah T.

    Oh, and I must add… he is the perfect Jasper! He portrays Jasper brilliantly and I don’t think any other actor could have done him justice. Jackson is an amazing talent!
