Sela Ward Cast On CSI: NY

Sela Ward will join the cast of CSI: NY for its seventh season which premieres this Fall. Ward will play an experienced investigator from Washington, D.C., whose work is driven by her empathy for the victim. She will make her first appearance in the season premiere when the show moves to Fridays at 9:00 PM this fall.

“I am thrilled to be working with Gary and this terrific group of people,” said Ward. “I’m a huge fan.”

“We are delighted to have Sela joining CSI: NY,” said Executive Producer Pam Veasey. “With the exciting stories planned for Season 7, she’ll be a dynamic addition to the cast and the team.”

Ward will fill the gap left by the departure of Melina Kanakaredes, who plays Detective Stella Bonasera.

Sela Ward is better known for her roles on Sisters and Once and Again for which she won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1994 and 2000.
