Ever since Jorja Fox hung up her CSI glove, producers have been looking for a replacement that will fill in the void of CSI.  With the casting search underway, many rumors have surged regarding actresses who may possibly join the cast, including Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff, who was recently junked for the opening.

Now, the search is over. CSI has tapped Lauren Lee Smith, actress known for her recurring role on The L Word, to join the cast as a series regular.  According to a CBS spokesperson, the Canadian actress is expected to play the character Bryce Adams, a "flirtatious, witty and strong-willed non-conformist" that is enlisted to join the CSI Las Vegas graveyard shift led by Grissom (William Petersen).  Other members of the forensic crew include Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger), Nicholas "Nick" Stokes (George Eads), David Hodges (Wallace Langham).
