"The Mentalist” star Simon Baker will be featured in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning Correspondent Rita Braver on "CBS Sunday Morning With Charles Osgood” May 6.

A summary and excerpt of the interview, provided by CBS, is as follows:

Best known as "The Mentalist’s” Patrick Jane — a former TV psychic, who, after being exposed as a fraud, uses his uncanny knack for observing human behavior to assist the California state police — Simon Baker admits that he finds the brash, verbose character "sort of a challenge.”

In a wide-ranging interview with CBS Sunday Morning Correspondent Rita Braver, Baker speaks candidly about his personal shyness, his difficult childhood and the less-than-successful years of effort that culminated in his star turn on "The  Mentalist.”

Yet, to Baker, as devoted husband and proud father of three, success is not measured onscreen or in the trappings of stardom.

"All this stuff is great,” he tells Braver. "But you know, at the end of the day, being a parent — that’s head and shoulders above it all.”

"CBS Sunday Morning With Charles Osgood” airs from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Sundays on CBS.
