Michael Welch (Twilight), Chris Marquette reunite with Joe Mantegna on Criminal Minds

Actor Michael Welch has wowed audiences as the hapless human Mike Newton in all three films in The Twilight Saga -- Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, two of the most successful motion pictures of all time, and now in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. That film is now on track to surpass both of its predecessors, having taken in over $600 million worldwide after only 28 days.

While the 23-year-old has had quite a long and distinguished career on the big screen -- working on 25 feature films since the age of ten -- he has also appeared in 92 individual television episodes, either as guest spots or as a series regular.

Welch came to prominence as Luke Girardi on two seasons of Joan of Arcadia, in which he co-starred with Joe Mantegna in 45 episodes from 2003-2005.

Now he reunites with Mantegna on a new episode of Criminal Minds. The show, titled JJ, will air on September 29th on the CBS network. Joan of Arcadia alum Chris Marquette, who's worked with Welch numerous times since then, will also be appearing on this episode of Criminal Minds.

Criminal Minds has been a Top 20 show for the past two seasons and a DVR Top 10.
