James Van Der Beek added to CSI: CYBER as a series regular

We loved James Van Der Beek in “Don’t Trust the B-” and we couldn’t be happier to report that the actor has joined the cast of CSI: CYBER as a series regular. The series will premiere during the 2014-2015 season on the CBS Television Network.
 
He will play FBI Agent Elijah Mundo, an expert in battlefield forensics recruited by Special Agent Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette) for his war efforts in Afghanistan. Mundo is a savant when it comes to weaponry, vehicles and bombs. A self-proclaimed action junkie, Agent Mundo will often put himself at risk to seek permanent justice, while Ryan will level his diehard behavior with her expertise in psychology. Together, they will team up to fight the world’s toughest cyber crimes. Foreign and domestic.
