Jack Garrett is a fictional character on the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, portrayed by Gary Sinise. A 20-year veteran of the FBI, Garrett is the Unit Chief of the International Response Team based out of Washington D.C.
Garrett is the Unit Chief of the International Response Team (IRT), which specializes in solving cases that involve American citizens on international soil. Through his job, he shares personal history with Aaron Hotchner and David Rossi of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and Clara Seger from his own team. Garrett's friendship with Rossi is also shown in the opening scene of the Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders seasons 1 episode "The Harmful One", where they have a practice session together at the gun range and bicker over negotiation tactics. Garrett once told Rossi that the reason he was still doing this job was to make the world a safer place for his family to live in.
Garrett is married to his wife Karen (Sherry Stringfield) and together have six children, including their oldest, a son named Ryan, and their middle child, a daughter named Josie. Ryan in 2015, got into the FBI Academy, which concerned Garrett, as Ryan would therefore be putting himself in harm's way as an agent. Josie recently moved across the country to attend the University of Southern California. They have two other boys, Jack Jr. and R.J., and two other girls, Millie and Emma.
In the first episode of season 1, Garrett and the team head to Thailand and he contacts cultural anthropology expert and former agent Clara Seger for her assistance as she was already in the region. She had been on a two-year sabbatical following the death of her husband Brad. By the end of the episode Garrett extends an invitation for her to return to the IRT.
In the episode "Love Interrupted" he struggles over Josie's decision to attend the University of Southern California across the country rather than Florida State University, which would be nearer to home. Matthew Simmons, the only other character who is married with children, picks up on his mood and asks him "She's not ready or you're not ready?"
