Italia Ricci Joins The Russell Clan On ‘CSI’
1 min readAn American Pie beauty is the latest to join the DB Russell (Ted Danson) family on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, I have learned exclusively. Minor spoilers after the jump!
This season’s sixth episode will find Charlie Russell (Brandon W. Jones), the son of the Las Vegas Crime Lab’s graveyard supervisor, in hot water with the law. “Pick and Roll,” written by Rick Eid, one of the latest additions to CSI‘s Season Thirteen writing staff, and directed by Alec Smight, will introduce Italia Ricci as Charlie’s girlfriend, Vanessa. Vanessa’s first encounter with DB is rather unconventional–she’s introduced to him while wearing nothing but a t-shirt. Embarrassed to have been caught in Charlie’s bed, Vanessa later has an awkward meal with Charlie and his parents. However, Vanessa may have an edgier side to her seemingly innocent behavior that catches the entire Russell family off guard.
Ricci’s other credits include House and How I Met Your Mother. Her episode is scheduled to air this November.
