And yet another reason to watch CSI! Liev Schreiber is joining the cast of the hit show beginning in January. He'll have a recurring role as a forensics expert who moves to Las Vegas and joins the crime lab.
The show's executive producer told USA Today: "He's one of those rare actors who has the kind of really deep penetrating intellect behind him, regardless of what kind of part he's playing."
Liev is probably better known as being the boyfriend of Naomi Watts for the past 18 months. Recently, there have been rumors that their relationship is on the rocks.
Rumors of a rift surfaced earlier this year when Naomi reportedly told friends the 'Manchurian Candidate' actor was "too controlling". A source told the New York Daily News: "He wants her to stop working entirely and have a baby."
Naomi's spokeswoman, however, has denied the rift: "Everything is fine. This is total nonsense."
