Gary Sinise Returning To CBS... For Yet Another Spin-Off!

You can’t keep a good man down.
CSI: New York alum Gary Sinise is returning to CBS for a spin-off of yet another procedural show.
This time, he’ll be the lead in a new Criminal Minds show, which does not have a title yet.
Unfortunately for CSI fans, Sinise will not be reprising the role of Mac Taylor. Instead, he’ll play a new character Jack Garrett. Garrett will be in charge of FBI’s team for handling cases involving Americans abroad.
