Captain Jim Brass is back.
Paul Guilfoyle, who played the crime-fighting homicide detective on the original "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," will reprise his role in the sequel series "CSI: Las Vegas," TV Line confirmed.
Guilfoyle is one of four original CSI cast members returning to set, including show alums William Petersen (Investigator Gil Grisson), Jorja Fox (Detective Sara Sidle), and Wallace Langham (Detective David Hodges).
While Petersen, Fox, and Langham will appear as season regulars in the upcoming series, Guilfoyle is set to appear as a guest star in only two episodes, according to Deadline.
Guilfoyle previously appeared in the first 14 seasons of CSI, leaving ahead of the 15th and final season of the show in 2015.
The show is welcoming familiar faces back onto set including Matt Lauria (Friday Night Lights, Kingdom), Paula Newsome (Chicago Med, Barry), Mel Rodriguez (Last Man on Earth) and Mandeep Dhillon (After Life), TV Line reports.
CSI: Las Vegas opens a new chapter for the popular drama series in the city where it all began. “Facing an existential threat that could bring down the Crime Lab, a brilliant team of forensic investigators must welcome back old friends and deploy new techniques to preserve and serve justice in Sin City,” Deadline reports.
