Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia)
Without a doubt, Kirsten Vangsness is one of the biggest stars of the show. After all, she is the only cast member to appear in both Criminal Minds and the spinoffs. She is best known for playing Penelope Garcia, the vegan feminist technical analyst on the team. It might come as a surprise that her career has slowed down. Her only movie credit since then is for a short film called Curtains.
