CSI: Miami – Natasha Henstridge Guest Stars

Somebody’s agent is hard at work. Earlier this week we announced the great news that actress Natasha Henstridge (Species) had landed a role in the CW’s Vampire Diaries spin-off about teen witches, called The Secret Circle. Now TV Guide has the skinny on another casting role in her favor.

Henstridge will guest star on CSI: Miami. This happens for season nine, which began last October and runs until May. Her character is “Renee Locklear, an undercover agent who is about to cause a stir in more ways than one.”

“We meet her in the course of searching for this missing fugitive and she [initially] appears as another possible witness, maybe a possible suspect,” says co-executive producer Barry O’ Brien. “We bring her in for an interrogation and she reveals that she’s actually an undercover agent for the Secret Service.”

Horatio is expected to enjoy the character’s presence. “We had the idea that there might be [some sparks between them], and as we watched the scenes, there, in fact, was a lot of chemistry,” says O’Brien. “It’s a relationship we’d like to pursue. She’s beautiful and she looks great with David. It’s a pretty exciting relationship for us.”

“Henstridge will definitely be back in the Season 10 premiere, and hopefully, say the producers, throughout the next season as a recurring character.” In fact, the work will not conflict with her pilot The Secret Circle. “She booked a CW pilot, which is CBS family, so it’s a doable scenario,” says O’Brien. Score!
