New Actor To Join The Cast Of 'CSI'?

Big changes are coming to Las Vegas next season, with the possible reunion of the former night shift, and the hiring of a new CSI.

According to U Daily News, CSI casting directors are currently looking at Latino males in their late 20s/early 30s to possibly join the show full-time. Though it is not yet known if the new actor will be joining the team as a new CSI or as a lab technician, the website seems certain that the new character will be indeed working on the field.

The opening credits of CSI are already looking cluttered and might see a new addition for season 6th. It was reported earlier this year that actor Wallace Langham (David Hodges) will be joining the show full-time and will receive a permanent spot in the opening credits (news). With the exception of Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle), the show's powers that be have never given an actor star billing without making their characters recurring first.

The show also saw the hiring of a new CSI this season, with the addition of Louise Lombard (Sofia Curtis) to the cast. Though Lombard is not in the opening credits, producers have not discarded the possibility of bringing the actress back during season 6. Lombard's appearances on the show waned as the season progressed, given that the actress is currently expecting her first child. Though it hasn't been confirmed yet, the new character might be hired to take Curtis's place if the actress decides to become a stay-at-home mom.
