Coach!
Actor Craig T. Nelson has made a good living in comedy. The actor is best known for his Emmy-winning performance on Coach has recently hit the big screen with Will Farrell in Blades of Glory, voiced Mr. Incredible in The Incredibles, and played a prison warden in My Name Is Earl. But now it's time to get serious again.
Nelson has signed on for a three-episode arc for CBS's stern blockbuster CSI, says The Hollywood Reporter. He'll play a high-level executive for a New York publishing firm who happens to be the nemesis of Mac Taylor (played by Gary Sinise).
Seriousness won't be a problem for Nelson. His last major television role was playing police chief Jack Mannion in the CBS cop drama The District.
CSI is currently undergoing a major casting change. Actor William Petersen, who plays Gil Grissom, is phasing out slowly, and Laurence Fishburne is beginning his transition as CSI's new male lead.

Finally, some good news.
He is always fun to watch.
good to see him back on TV
This'll be interesting
Excited to see what Craig T Nelson brings to CSI, he's a great actor. Looking forward to it.
Okay, I'm confused. Is Nelson appearing on CSI:NY or CSI? Paragraph 2 names CSI and then the lead actor from CSI:NY. Then para 4 gives details on CSI(LV). Poorly written.
I love coach. I am very excited to see him in this role.
yea its sad that coach hasnt been completely released aside from seasons 1-3, i loved the district it was awesome lynee thigpen and craig's chemistry was the best sad when she passed away he seems to be doing a few movies like the family stone (love it) and the incredibles (awesome) and i think one other since the district ended. awesome to see him back on tv. we need those shows on dvd
This is great news. Craig is one actor who excells in both drama and comedy. I'm sure he'll make an excellent nemisis for Mac.
Craig will do a good job on CSI: NY, he's an actor with a lot of presence when he walks into a room.
Good luck Craig T Nelson. I'm sure you will do a good job.
I heard that Pee Wee Herman my be Fish's nemesis in CSI...
