I very keenly wanted a woman to direct [A United Kingdom]. I just feel like if God, in his divine plan, made it that pretty much the population is 50/50 of men and women, why it should be below 10% of women behind the screen, when we have this cultural medium that is so influential, so impacting, so educational, so inspiring. Why the female voice is actively, intentionally being dumbed down and marginalised. It’s absolutely inexcusable. We are all the richer when we decide, ‘You know what? Not on my watch.’ I will till the day I die be an advocate for the d-word: diversity.
Mandy Patinkin on The Late Show, December 18, 2015
My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare for…the compassion and empathy that was never shown to you, but might one day save humanity as we know it.
One day Mandy Patinkin decided to stand up and be my hero, and he hasn’t stopped since.
Mandy not taking anymore of anyone’s shit again, ever. ❤
I don’t know who Mandy is but I already respect him so much
This is Mandy, my friend:
Patinkin on quitting Criminal Minds: [Explaining why he abruptly quit the series before its third season began, blindsiding its creator Jeff Davis, Patinkin says,] “I thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality…After that, I didn’t think I would get to work in television again.“”
MANDY PATINKIN IS AN ACTUAL ANGEL FROM HEAVEN AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I WOULD KILL FOR HIM EXCEPT HE WOULDN’T WANT ME TO DO THAT AND THAT’S WHY HE’S A FLAWLESS HUMAN.

The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower. Located in the fey region of End-World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is the nexus point of the time-space continuum. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat. Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it.
In Roland’s where and when, the world has already begun to move on. Time and direction are in drift, and the fabric of reality is fraying. However, things are about to get much worse.
