The IRT is made up of extremely intelligent individuals, exceptional in their own areas of expertise. Jack Garrett (played by Gary Sinise) is the team leader who uses his confidence and tactical knowledge to be sure the investigations stay on track. Clara Seger (played by Alana De La Garza) provides cultural insight and translates for the team in most countries since she is familiar with many different languages. Being an expert in tracking, Matthew Simmons (played by Daniel Henney), is able to provide clues as to what happened at the crime scenes in addition to the details that have already been discovered. Former medical examiner and current FBI Agent, Mae Jarvis (played by Annie Funke), conducts autopsies and consults with the medical examiner in country to find hidden facts to relay to the team. She is able to connect with the lifeless victims to “tell their stories.” The technical guru of the bunch, Russ “Monty” Montgomery (played by Tyler James Williams),

helps the IRT triangulate locations, dig through phone and bank records, as well as any other research that may assist the team in their investigation. He usually works from Quantico and video-conferences the team when new details arise. Monty may even be accompanying the IRT on a case this season!

As you walk onto Stage 21, you are transported into the hallways and offices of the FBI headquarters in Quantico and the hangar for the IRT’s immaculate jet: The Betsy Ross. As the ramp lowers, and you walk up the loading dock, the first thing you see is the iconic American flag hanging overhead. With the team’s Range Rover to the right, a Jeep and motorcycle to the left, you are standing in the middle of the cargo bay, with a clear view of the conference room toward the front of the jet. The conference room is where the team is typically briefed on the new case at hand, which is located just upstairs from

After a fantastic first season, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders is kicking off season two with a bang! The main cast: Gary Sinise, Alana De La Garza, Daniel Henney, Annie Funke, and Tyler James Williams are ecstatic to be back for another season, along with the creator and show runner, Erica Messer, and her talented team.

Starting out in Africa, the International Response Team (IRT) is heading around the world on a mission to save Americans in danger. Whether in a third world country or a bustling, highly-populated city, the team will do everything it takes to prevent any other crimes from occurring, no matter what cultural hurdles they have to jump over to get the job done. Each country presents a different dynamic that the IRT has to work through in order to solve the case. No matter how severe the crime, the team will rush in to begin profiling the Unknown Subject, or UnSub, in order to bring them to justice.

CBS 2 debuted its brand new studio set renovation during the 5:00 p.m. newscast on Monday, July 25th. The project was eight months in the planning and execution, and involved consistent communication and collaboration between the CBS 2 News, Creative Services, Engineering, Production and Finance departments. The main anchor desk sits in front of two huge monitor walls, one of which is 5x3 with fifteen 55” monitors and the other 3x3 with nine 55” monitors. The walls can display graphics, live pictures or field reporter live shots. Two other distinct areas not seen elsewhere in the LA market include

by bill dallman a furnished “Green Room” for guests to await their on-air segments and an “Interview Set” where up to six people can sit and have an on-air conversation on a custom made couch. “We designed and built a set unlike anything else in the LA market” said KCBS – KCAL VP News Bill Dallman. “There’s a dozen separate presentation areas, making it the most versatile set for local television anywhere.” The background lighting elements of the set can change to any color in the rainbow and are customized for each newscast, and the clean, sleek lines and rich detailing make the set visually appealing from every angle.

the cargo bay and through the glass doors. With a round table and plenty of seating, the team will be quite comfortable for their long international flights to save our fellow Americans!

Each week, Stage 22 is transformed into a new country with eerie UnSub lairs, small rural churches, varying types of police stations, architecturally extravagant embassies, and much more. Walking on to each set is a chance to explore the cultural differences of these countries and their varying structures. With a wide range of locations that the team will

NEW SET FOR CBS 2

travel to in season two, every week is a pleasant surprise as to what country you will end up in after opening the stage door and walking through it.

Encountering revenge killers, master manipulators, and spree killers, the IRT has much to profile throughout the season in order to capture and stop these UnSubs. With several exotic countries on the itinerary, the cast and crew are hard at work, constructing dynamic episodes to keep viewers on the “edge of their seats.”
