Carlos Bernard, best known for his work as Tony Almeida on 24, has been cast in a season-long arc on CSI: Miami.
“We’re going to slowly position Horatio in opposition to a very subtle, but powerful, political patriarch,” producer Barry O’Brien tells TV Guide. “He’s kind of a Donald Trump meets the Kennedy family… There will be a very high-octane relationship between the two. A hero is as heroic as his opposition is deadly, so we’re really going to go there with this character.”
Bernard recently guest-starred on Burn Notice and will also play a villain on ABC’s updated version of Charlie’s Angels.
CSI: Miami returns on Sunday, September 25 and Bernard will debut in late October.
