Dr. Spencer Reid is a fictional character from the CBS crime drama ''Criminal Minds'', portrayed by Matthew Gray Gubler. Reid is a genius with an IQ of 187 and can read 20,000 words per minute with an eidetic memory. He is the youngest member of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, has three BAs and three PhDs, and specializes in statistics and geographic profiling. ==Development== Reid was born in 1983 and is a genius and autodidact who graduated from a Las Vegas public high school at age 12. He has an IQ of 187,〔"Extreme Aggressor", season 1, episode 1〕 an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute〔 (an average American adult reads prose text at 200-300 words per minute).〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/brettnelson/2012/06/04/do-you-read-fast-enough-to-be-successful/〕 He holds B.A.s in Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy, a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Engineering as well as a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Caltech.〔"Memoriam", season 4, episode 7〕 Reid is 23 in the pilot episode,〔"Plain Sight", season 1, episode 4〕 having joined the unit when he was 22.〔〔"Tabula Rasa", season 3, episode 19〕 His fellow team members almost always introduce him as Dr. Reid. Hotch reveals in the first season that Gideon insists on introducing him as Dr. Reid because Gideon fears that, because of his age, Reid will not be taken seriously as an FBI agent.〔 This was a genuine concern, both for in-universe and for audience acceptance, since in real life the minimum age to become an FBI Special Agent is 23, with at least three more years to obtain Supervisory Special Agent status, and appointments to the BAU do not usually occur until after at least eight to ten years in the FBI. While filming the pilot, the show's FBI consultant informed Matthew Gray Gubler that there was nothing realistic about his character. Before Gubler was cast in the role, the character was envisioned as more like Data from ''Star Trek''. However, the producers liked Gubler's softer interpretation, despite telling the actor he was wrong for the part. After several callbacks, he was hired. During October 2012, series creator Jeff Davis tweeted that Reid was originally envisioned to be bisexual, but the network shut the idea down by the fourth episode when Reid develops a crush on his colleague, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spencer Reid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
