Thomas Gibson, who played Aaron Hotchner on "Criminal Minds" for 12 seasons, recently opened up about his regrets about starring in the CBS drama.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gibson said that he wishes he had never joined the show because it "ruined his life."

"I was so young and naive when I started on that show," Gibson said. "I didn't know what I was getting myself into."

Gibson's regrets about starring in "Criminal Minds" are a reminder that even the most successful actors can have second thoughts about their career choices.
