CSI: Cyber News: Former Ally McBeal Star Joins Cast As Series Regular

Spoilers

Emmy winner and former Ally McBeal favorite Peter MacNicol has been added to the cast of the new CSI spin-off as a series regular.

The veteran actor will play Assistant Director Stavros Sifter, a career FBI insider and supervisor to Special Agent Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette) for the Cyber Crime Division in Washington.

TVLine reports that Sifter quickly made a name for himself and was promoted to a position where he is the go-between the FBI’s Cyber division and the other branches of government. He is described as a ‘shrewd and savvy networker’ who can charm with malice.

MacNicol joins Community’s Daniel Grummitz who was already announced as a castmember.
