In the team of Lisbon also work the agents Kaan Cho (Tim Kang, also in Third Watch), Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman, also inThe Nine and Generation Kill) and Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti, also in The O.C.).

The series also introduces the background story of Patrick Jane. His wife and daughter are murdered by the 5 years before the series began serial killer named Red John.Immediate cause for these murders was a tv broadcast in which Patrick, when challenged, Red John still as medium. Patrick feels responsible for the event and is tormented by guilt. This is expressed in headaches and insomnia. Red John appears regularly in several episodes and Patrick is eager to deal with him, and that is also one of the reasons for him to be able to work for the CBI. That the story of Red John as a red thread through the events worth 10 euros, makes it plausible that in the title of almost every episode the word "red" is processed.

 * Special Agent Jason Wylie (Joe Adler) (season 7) is an FBI computer expert that becomes a member of Jane's team in season 6.
 * There has got to be said that The Mentalist a rip-off (imitation) of the series Psych is. Psych Shawn Spencer is about the man who with his observation skills and attention to detail solves crimes, but pretending to be psychic and solves the issues with his gift. Psych began in 2006, The Mentalist began in 2008.
