CSI: NY Season 8 Casting

Actors Justin Bruening (pictured above) and Robbie Amell just won roles on CSI: NY. Bruening is an All My Children alumnus, now bound for the CBS network set. TVLine got the scoop that Robbie Amell (“Robin’s puppy-like lover on How I Met Your Mother,” and the brother of Vampire Diaries actor Stephen Amell) will act with Bruening on the Oct. 21st Fall episode of CSI: NY.

Bruening’s character is called “Hank” and is a former criminal suspected by our favorite team of a new murder. Amell will act as his basketball celebrity younger bro.

This isn’t all Bruening has to look forward to. He is also attached to former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new CW network series Ringer. That series premiers September 13th.

Amell has himself another high profile TV role as well. He’s set to fill a recurring slot on ABC’s Revenge, with Gossip Girl actor Connor Paolo. Starring Everwood and Brothers & Sisters actress Emily VanCamp, Revenge (loosely based on Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo) is coming to Wednesday nights on ABC beginning Sept. 21st.

Season 8 of CSI: NY kicks off Friday, Sept. 23rd. The season premier is titled “Indelible”. Cassidy Freeman will guest star. Gary Sinise, Sela Ward and Hill Harper return to Season 8.
