He stated he had a positive experience working with Streisand saying, "'She tried to overcome her superstardom to make me feel comfortable. She worked hard to get to know me for what I am." Patinkin also was able to explore his Jewish roots while making the film saying, "I also spent a couple of weeks in [[Ohr Somayach, Jerusalem|Ohr Semach]] in [[Jerusalem]] at a [[yeshiva]], studying the [[Talmud]] and attending lectures. The experience awakened many thoughts and feelings that had been sleeping in me for some time."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/11/14/Scotts-WorldNEWLNStreisands-Yentl-co-star-Mandy-Patinkin/4537437634000/|title= Scott's World: Streisand's 'Yentl' co-star, Mandy Patinkin|website= [[UPI|United Press International]]|access-date= November 1, 2023}}</ref>

=== 2005–2020: ''Criminal Minds'' and ''Homeland'' ===
[[File:MandyPatinkin 1 13 12.JPG|thumb|right|Patinkin outside the [[Ethel Barrymore Theatre]] in 2012]]
In September 2005, he secured the role of [[Jason Gideon]], an experienced [[Offender profiling|profiler]] just coming back to work after a series of [[nervous breakdown]]s, in the new [[CBS]] crime-drama television series ''[[Criminal Minds]]''.<ref name=Philly7 /> Patinkin was absent from a table read for ''Criminal Minds'' and did not return for a third season. The departure from the show was not due to contractual or salary matters, but over creative differences. He left apologetic letters for his fellow cast members explaining his reasons and wishing them luck. Many weeks before his departure, in a videotaped interview carried in the online magazine ''Monaco Revue'', Patinkin told journalists at the [[Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo]] that he loathed violence on television and was uncomfortable with certain scenes in ''Criminal Minds''. He later called his choice to do ''Criminal Minds'' his "biggest public mistake" and stated that he "thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again."<ref name="The Hollywood Reporter">{{cite news|title=Mandy Patinkin: 'Criminal Minds' Was 'Destructive to My Soul'|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/mandy-patinkin-criminal-minds-370339|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|publisher=[[Valence Media]]|location=Los Angeles, California|access-date=September 20, 2012|first=Seth|last=Abramovitch|date=September 13, 2012}}</ref>

In 2008, Patinkin portrayed [[Prospero]] in an [[off-Broadway]] musical production of ''[[The Tempest]]'' opposite Elisabeth Waterston and [[Michael Potts (actor)|Michael Potts]].
