CBS has announced that actress Beau Garrett will play the female lead in their currently untitled “Criminal Minds” spinoff series. Garret will play a tough FBI rookie agent named Gina under the employ of Forest Whitaker’s rogue agent Cooper. Her character will be introduced during an episode of “Criminal Minds” in the spring.

Garrett’s film creds include the superhero blockbuster 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer and the indie survival-horror gem Turistas, costarring Olivia Wilde. She and Wilde can also be seen in Disney’s upcoming reboot Tron: Legacy, due out in Dec.

The “Criminal Minds” spinoff is scheduled to debut in the fall with Richard Shepard directing from a script by Chris Mundy.
