Even though he isn't on Criminal Minds anymore, the character of Aaron Hotchner will live on throughout the series. As the leader of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, Hotch was almost always stoic and unemotional, keeping his team as objective as possible. However, there were moments where Hotch showed his emotions and his humanity. From both the funny and the tragic, here are 9 times Hotch showed us his true colors.
1. When Jack dressed up as Hotch for Halloween.
2. Hotch's comment about Reid's new hairdo.
3. When Hotch threatened someone if something happened to Prentiss.
4. When Hotch screamed at a domestic abuser when he was trying to tell his wife what to tell the BAU.
5. Hotch bringing little baby Jack in to meet the BAU (plus Hotch and Haley together... The good days).
6. When Hotch held Jack over Haley's casket at her funeral.
7. When Hotch had his last conversation with Haley before the Reaper killed her.
8. Hotch filming the team singing at a Kareoke Bar.
9. When Hotch took his suit jacket and tie off and got ready to square up with a child molester.
