Good question.. in fact I got mixed up and was thinking they were the same person, beings I've never heard of either one of them
As far as we've heard, Sienna is only in the season premiere.
As for Katee, I believe she had other commitments when CSI originally wanted her (for Bryce/Riley Adams).

Both could be recurring. The guy that CBS brought over as a new showrunner from Numb3rs, Don McGill, did the same with that cast. Besides Rob Morrow, David Kromholtz, and Alimi Ballard, the rest of the cast rotated from episode to episode. It helped control costs immensely.

I agree. I think it's a combination of the "buzz" factor that others have mentioned, and getting parents and older siblings on board with the young'uns. Time will tell if it has any kind of lasting payoff.
I was never a regular viewer, but in the times that I watched, I thought she was pretty good. I also saw her in an episode of Law & Order. and thought she was good in that.

Cold Case did something similar, with every episode missing at least one regular cast member. And now both Numb3rs and Cold Case are cancelled...

I would have liked to have seen Kathryn Morris from the now defunct "Cold Case" or Poppy Montgomery, from "WOAT" also cancelled, gals that most fans are aware of, and not two females that many fans have never heard of

I like the fact that they're pulling in lesser known actors. I mean there weren't a lot of people who knew who Eric or Marg were before CSI so its more like the earlier seasons, and besides, tptb will be less inclined to give them way too much screentime if they're not huge stars beforehand.
I may be slightly biased since I'm already a big Sienna fan, but I have a good feeling about these two. Turns out their is something I can be optimistic about :lol:

When it comes to new cast members it's always going to vary between the fans. I think most uk fans will enjoy katee sackhoff as BSG was quite popular over here, whereas i have to admit i only knew laurence fishburne as 'that guy in the matrix'.
As an aside do we know for sure what episode 11.3 is going to be about?

I think that most people knew Marg from her movies ["Erin Brokovich"] and other TV series~
I just received my TV Guide dated September 20-26~ besides all the new shows, they've got a brief analysis from the returning shows and CSI~Most of this is known but for fans who haven't read the whole thing, here's what it says~
WHERE WE LEFT OFF
After catching Dr. Jekyll, Langston [Laurence Fishburne] told incarcerated serial killer Nate Haskell [Bill Irwin], they had solved the case with his help..then Haskell stabbed Langston in the back and left him bleeding on the floor!
WHAT'S NEXT
"The traumatic events of the finale will play out through the beginning episodes, says Carol Mendelsohn. And you just can't get rid of Haskell, who is back for more episodes", says Mendelsohn. 'We'll lock him in, but he'll return mid-season to Vegas to be charged with the crime that he committed on Dr. Langston~
JUSTN TIME
Justine Bieber makes his acting debut in the premiere as Jason McCann, an outspoken member of an alternative political movement. "He will find himself in jail, connected to the explosive crime", teases Mendelsohn. But all is not as it seems with the Beeb, setting the scene for a return in episode 15~
WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT
Behind the scenes, co-creator Anthony Zuiker is back as a writer on the first few episodes. And Mendelsohn hopes Marg Helgenberger won't exit. "I respect Marg's decision [to leave after S/11], but I will fight her till the end to keep her on CSI"!
Oh and Laurence Fishburne has made upwards of 50 films and won 17 awards, including 2 Emmy's, a Tony and been nominated for an Oscar and 23 more nominations. "The Matrix" ha-ha-ha. He's made so many more and so many better ones! Even Jorja stated how she'd watched his early films and was "in awe of meeting him". He started acting when he was 14 and not one person I've ever talked to, doesn't know who he is~

As a UK fan I don't know who Katee is, and I didn't know Fishburne even after watching Matrix and 21 about four times each :lol:
Bieber's appearance has had a pretty bad reaction over here, him being all famous with the tweens. I'm hoping that he won't be in the episode as much as his publicity is making it out to be.
Episode 3 is Sqweegel. It's the one with the seriel killer that leaves no forensic trace behind. Don't know much more than that as Level 26 didn't seem to move off the new book shelf at our library very often. They haven't put out the official press release for it yet.
Wellll... According to the articles they only had him for 1 day. You can only film so much in a day. :lol:
