CSI Files
Captain
<font color=yellow>Judith Scott</font>, who played Dr. Jenna Williams in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's first season, has landed a new role as a secret agent.
Scott will play Agent Louise Beckett on the science-fiction, action-adventure series, Jake 2.0. The series will air on UPN at 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday night from this fall, as the new lead-out show of the latest Star Trek instalment, Enterprise.
Created by <font color=yellow>Silvio Horta</font> (The Chronicle), Jake 2.0 centres around Jake Foley, a slightly geeky National Security Agency technician who becomes a superhero-cum-secret agent after he is infected by nanites.
Judith Scott's character is described by UPN's press material as a "powerful senior agent". An advance review of the pilot at Ain't It Cool News praised all the cast members, but described Scott as a "stand-out".
<font color=yellow>Christopher Gorham</font> (Odyssey 5) will star as Jake, with <font color=yellow>Marina Black</font> (Six Feet Under) as his love interest, congressional staffer Sarah Heywood. Gorham previously guest starred as Corey in CSI's "Crash and Burn".
AICN's reviewer, <font color=yellow>'Hacker'</font>, said Jake 2.0 has "plenty of potential" with "several potentially interesting future storylines". However, the Wednesday 9:00 p.m. timeslot is one of the most competitive in television, and Jake 2.0 will be up against heavy-hitters such as The West Wing and The Bachelor. "UPN is notoriously bad at launching new dramas," he said. The previous two occupants of UPN's Wednesday 9:00 p.m. slot, Special Unit 2 and The Twilight Zone, only had limited runs of 19 and 22 episodes, respectively.
