Liev Schreiber is joining the cast of hit US drama 'C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation'.
The actor - best known for playing Cotton Weary in the 'Scream' trilogy - will have a recurring role as a forensics expert who moves to Las Vegas and joins the crime lab.
The show's executive producer Naren Shankar told USA Today: "He's one of those rare actors who has the kind of really deep penetrating intellect behind him, regardless of what kind of part he's playing."
Liev - who is dating 'King Kong' star Naomi Watts - will first appear in the 12th episode of the new season in January.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the actress has denied reports the couple's eighteen-month-old relationship is on the rocks.
Rumours of a rift surfaced earlier this year when Naomi reportedly told friends the 'Manchurian Candidate' actor was "too controlling".
An insider revealed to America's New York Daily News newspaper: "He wants her to stop working entirely and have a baby."
