Matthew Gray Gubler’s journey in the entertainment industry has been nothing short of remarkable. From his early days to the present, his transformation, both in terms of his career and appearance, has been a topic of discussion and admiration.
The Evolution of an Icon
Matthew Gray Gubler, best known for his portrayal of Spencer Reid in the hit series “Criminal Minds,” has recently left fans in awe with a photograph that showcases his transformation over the years leading up to his iconic role. Over the course of 321 episodes spanning 15 seasons of “Criminal Minds,” the astute and logical Spencer Reid has become a fan favorite. Even though Gubler did not return for the series reboot, “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” he has consistently kept his fans in the loop about his various endeavors.
Recently, the star of “Criminal Minds” took to Instagram to share a heartwarming picture from his younger days. In this snapshot, the CBS star, now 43, is seen sporting a contemporary look with a brown leather bomber jacket, paired with a red corduroy shirt. His ensemble is completed with an Indiana Jones-style hat and striking round-framed glasses. The caption of the photo, “Raiders of The Lost Bar Mitzvar,” hints at a playful nod to the 1981 Indiana Jones film, “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
Beyond the Screen
Since the debut of “Criminal Minds” in 2006, Gubler has been synonymous with Dr. Spencer Reid. But his repertoire extends beyond this character. He has also voiced Simon in the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” series. A recent post on Instagram showcased a beaming young Gubler. While the exact age in the picture remains undisclosed, he has shared similar glimpses from the past in 2021.
In a festive gesture, Gubler posted a series of throwback pictures on Instagram with the caption, “Merry Christmas! I love you more than the hats I adored in fifth grade.” If we infer from this, the shared picture might have been taken when he was between 10 and 11 years old.
Awaiting the Encore
The anticipation for Gubler’s return as Spencer Reid is palpable among fans. While there’s no confirmation about his appearance in the upcoming season of “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” hopes are high. Gubler himself has remained tight-lipped about his involvement, but external factors like potential actor and writer strikes might sway his decision.
