As previously reported, CSI has cast former Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhof in the recurring role of Detective Frankie Reed.

The famously blonde actress has dyed her hair fiery red for the character, as seen below in your first look at Sackhoff on the CBS drama. She premieres on the October 28 episode, "Cold Blooded," and is rumored to be sticking around for awhile.

Are you excited for this actress' addition to the CSI world?
