CSI has had some big names headline its different series, including Laurence Fishburne and Ted Danson in the original CSI, David Caruso in CSI: Miami, Gary Sinise in CSI: NY and Patricia Arquette in CSI: Cyber. The big names set for CSI: Vegas are actually familiar faces to long-time CSI fans.
William Petersen and Jorja Fox are set to reprise their roles as Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle, respectively. They will be joined by newcomers Paula Newsome, playing the new lead investigator Maxine Roby, alongside Matt Lauria, Mel Rodriguez and Mandeep Dhillon on the CSI team.
Wallace Langham, another CSI veteran, is also returning for CSI: Vegas in his role of David Hodges.

Returning to the city that started the CSI franchise, CSI: Vegas will take place as new threats form in Las Vegas that could bring down the whole CSI crime lab. It will be up to Gil Grissom, Sara Sidle, and the new members of the CSI team to take their new enemies down.
The show is expected to feature new types of criminal activity as well as the latest forensic techniques to solve their cases.
