CSI: Vegas Season 2 Star Discusses Catherine Willows' Return
CSI: Vegas star Matt Lauria shares his thoughts on Marg Helgenberger’s return as Catherine Willows. Before his role as the Level III CSI lead investigator Josh Folsom in the CBS revival series, Lauria appeared in a few episodes as FBI agent Matthew in the original installment.
