At some point in nearly all of our romantic lives, we end up dating the wrong person. It's nothing to be ashamed of — maybe you got swept up in the idea of how fun love seems, and went for it with someone who wasn't right for you. Or maybe you were…

People say happiness is a warm puppy—but it's also Matthew Gray Gubler. The 35-year-old Criminal Minds actor was nothing but gracious, warm, and engaging during our sit-down interview in his trailer on location for the CBS drama, where he's in the middle of taping scenes as Dr. Spencer Reid. As soon as we arrive, he greets us with a big hug, and then leads us along the lunch line for an enormous spread of fish tacos, chicken, and other delicious sides. If actors are often known for only thinking about themselves, then Matthew clearly hasn't gotten that memo.

Now, in his 11th season on Criminal Minds, Gubler still hasn't lost his enthusiasm for performing or the procedural that has opened more doors than one can keep count. He voices Simon in the Alvin and the Chipmunks films (the most recent film
