Celebrities You Might Have Forgotten Appeared On Criminal Minds

There are a lot of police procedural dramas to sort through on TV, but The Mentalist was one of the best. From 2008 to 2015, the series ran for 7 seasons on CBS and garnered a large and loyal fanbase along the way. The show was clever as Simon Baker perfectly portrayed the “psychic” turned CBI consultant, and had the perfect cast chemistry to execute the clever and at times emotional storylines perfectly. It has already been one year since the show came to an end and all of the stars have moved on. Check out how much the cast of The Mentalist is worth now!

10. Xander Berkeley

Estimated Net Worth: $2 Million. From 2008-2013, Xander Berkeley only appeared in five episodes of The Mentalist, but he held one of the most pivotal roles as Sheriff McAllister who turns out to be Red John. With 227 acting credits to his name, Berkeley has definitely made himself known in the entertainment industry. He began his on-camera career with a role on MASH in 1981 and has appeared in many films and series, but most notably 24, Salem, Being Human, Nikita, Taken and Air Force One. Despite his incredible number of roles, a lack of leading parts has left with him a net worth of $2 million, which is nothing to scoff at, just not expected for someone with hundreds of credits.

1. Simon Baker

Estimated Net Worth: $45 Million. The linchpin that made the whole show work was of course The Mentalist himself, Simon Baker as Patrick Jane.

In the mid-90s he moved to the U.S. and launched his American career with a role in the L.A. Confidential film. He went on to appear in many other series and films including The Guardian, Sunset Strip, The Ring 2, and The Devil Wears Prada.
