Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) will have a big moment in "Criminal Minds" season 11 premiere, according to executive producer Erica Messer.

"He gets to do a takedown Reid style, which is just using his brain with a physical thing that's really disturbing," Entertainment Weekly quoted Messer as saying. "You have to turn away. It's not a standoff with a gun. It's a Reid version of a takedown."
