A fine actress whose talent has yet to be fully appreciated. One of a kind, quirky, smart, edgy, curvaceous, and enormously talented. Her sense of timing is impeccable.

In a smart ensemble cast dealing with dark human questions, Kirsten Vangsness is a shining force to be reckoned with. Her performance is so lovingly nuances that it brings light to a show that is otherwise difficult to watch for the heavy themes. Her role brings perfect balance and shines a light in the darkness; I look forward to seeing her every week. I believe Criminal Minds would be lost without her. Hers is the brightest star in the room. In a cast that has included some heavy hitting actors and actresses in recurring and guest roles, Kirsten Vangsness holds up the sun and moon and stars; she brings an utterly original character to life and light. In group scenes, she stars-even when other characters are speaking. Even though her current character wears bright colors and chunky jewelry, I believe Ms. Vangsness would still attract all the attention in the room were she wearing a potato sack and no make-up. An amazing actress, an as-yet underrecognized talent, she's an astounding asset to any cast. I think she deserves an Emmy, a Golden Globe and her own Hollywood Star. No doubt she can move from drama to comedy and back again. This is a woman who can do it all. I hope to see her do more series television and feature films.
