CMRT Visits Alaska! Part 2

If you've never seen a TV show being filmed it is a long process where they film the same scene over and over again from different angles. I am happy to report our favorite cast did splendidly and endured the very cool weather without so much as a grumble.

CMRT Visits Alaska! Part 1

Criminal Minds recently shot part of episode 5.21 Exit Wounds in Frazier Park, CA. This episode takes place in the fictional city of Franklin, Alaska and the show needed a mountain locale to pose as the Alaskan town. CMRT paid a visit to the set on April 01, 2010 and took a few shots which we will gladly share with you.

The team was there filming a scene in front of the local sheriff's office (actually the Frazier Park newspaper office). Present were Thomas Gibson, AJ Cook, Joe Mantegna, Matthew Gray Gubler and guest star Wings Hauser as Sheriff Rhodes.
