Patrick Jane, 'The Mentalist'

Like Shawn Spencer, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) is not actually a psychic, but a man with an extraordinary talent for observation and deduction. As a former con man and celebrity psychic, he boasted that his "powers" helped police profile a serial ... more killer named Red John. In retaliation, Red John murdered Patrick's wife and daughter. Patrick was then hired as a consultant to the California Bureau of Investigation to solve homicides.
