New possible recurring character on The Mentalist
Actor Kevin Rankin will join the cast as Jane's brother-in-law for the episode 3x02, and he will probably be a recurring character. Bruno Heller describes him as a a hustler, a con artist, a ladies’ man—a cunning ne’er-do-well,” explains Mentalist EP/creator Bruno Heller. “Through his sister, he has an emotional hook in Jane that he’s not afraid to tug at when it serves his nefarious purposes.” source: Ausiello Files
