Ted Danson's daughter, Kate, to guest-star on 'CSI' in April

A week after CBS announced Ted Danson signed on for two more years as the star of "CSI," the network announced the actor's daughter, Kate, will be joining the show as well.

This will be the first time Kate Danson, 33, who has appeared in shows like "Raising the Bar" and "The Protector," works alongside her father.

"I was really fortunate to get to work with him on 'CSI,'" she said. "It was so much fun. We never worked together like that. We did a short film together but nothing professional until now, so it was really great going head to head with him."

Kate will be featured on the April 3 episode of the show as a lawyer who has some doubts about the "CSI" team.

"I play a lawyer who knows she's in the right and the 'CSI' team have done something wrong, so I come pretty hard at my dad and dig into him, which was a lot of fun to play."

According to Christian Post, Kate expects her role to turn into a recurrent character.
