‘Risky Business Class’ Official Details

The holiday break will get underway following this week’s brand new episode of CSI, which features the introduction of a man from Sara’s past. Official plot details and cast list can be found after the jump.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation will air “Risky Business Class” on Wednesday at 10:00pm ET/PT, which marks the final new episode before 2013 begins:

When five people are killed in a small plane crash a mile off the Vegas strip, the CSI team is called to investigate. Also, Sara feels the strain of having a long-distance relationship with Grissom when a former lover of hers is involved with the crash investigation.

Line Producer Frank Waldeck has directed seven previous episodes of CSI, most recently “It Was A Very Good Year” from earlier this season. This is the fourteenth writing credit for Consulting Producer Elizabeth Devine, who previously penned season twelve’s “Altered Stakes”.

The episode will feature the following actors and actresses in guest-starring roles:

Pamela Reed as Donna Hoppe
Josh Randall as Doug Wilson
Kenneth Mitchell as Dalton Burke
Anthony Brophy as Hal (Aircraft Mechanic)
Mark Moses as Jeffrey Forsythe
Gina Ravera as Dr. Paula O’Keefe
Jessica Lancaster as Nurse

Pamela Reed is back as Donna Hoppe, the genealogist featured in last season’s “Genetic Disorder”. Mark Moses has previously appeared on all three series: “Sex, Lies and Larvae” during CSI’s first season, the season eight CSI: Miami episode “Mommie Deadest”, and “Late Admissions” during the current season of CSI: New York. Josh Randall has been on Miami (“After the Fall”) and New York (“Nothing for Something”). Kenneth Mitchell guest-starred in the Miami episode “Deviant” during the show’s fourth season.

CSI: New York is not on the schedule this Friday. Instead, CBS will air the holiday programmes Yes, Virginia and The Elf on the Shelf from 9:00-10:00pm ET/PT.

“Risky Business Class” airs December 12 on CBS.
