Ted Danson daughter Kate Danson will appear on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” next season. The episode airs in early April.
The daughter of TV staple Ted Danson will make an appearance on his show “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” according to reports.
Kate Danson told WENN.com: “I was really fortunate to get to work with him on CSI... It was so much fun. We never worked together like that.”
They worked on a film a few years ago but never appeared on a TV show together.
“We did a short film together but nothing professional until now, so it was really great going head to head with him,” she added.
Elaborating, she added, “I play a lawyer who knows she’s in the right and the CSI team have done something wrong, so I come pretty hard at my dad and dig into him, which was a lot of fun to play. It airs April 3rd and I’m hoping it will be a recurring character.”
The move comes just a few days after CBS approved a deal with Ted Danson for him to continue starring in the show’s 14th season, reported Entertainment Weekly on March 20. Also returning on the show is Elisabeth Shue and other cast members George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Paul Guilfoyle, Robert David Hall, and others.
CSI is synonymous with CBS, and we are so proud of the series’ creative and commercial legacy and its continued success on our Network,” Nina Tassler, CBS Entertainment president, said in a statement obtained by EW.
She added, “The writers and producers have done an amazing job evolving CSI, reinventing the show around an incredible leading man in Ted Danson, the acclaimed Elisabeth Shue, and our beloved and talented core of original cast members.”
