CSI: Miami‘s Horatio Caine (David Caruso) is no stranger to formidable foes, but this season his opponent will be quite a doozy. 24 alum Carlos Bernard has been cast as Horatio’s spectacularly wealthy season-long nemesis, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

“We’re going to slowly position Horatio in opposition to a very subtle, but powerful, political patriarch,” co-executive producer Barry O’Brien tells us. “He’s kind of a Donald Trump meets the Kennedy family. …There will be a very high-octane relationship between the two. A hero is as heroic as his opposition is deadly, so we’re really going to go there with this character.”

Bernard’s character, which hasn’t yet been named, is all the more ruthless because he uses his political sway to keep his depraved serial killer son safe from the law.

“We’re going to discover that over the course of the season that they may be pulling a lot more strings politically than meets the eye,” O’Brien says.”That will be a driving theme through season 10 — that Horatio may not completely understand the face of evil that is facing him. … Horatio’s fight for justice might just get compromised.”

Besides his work as Tony Almeida on 24, Bernard has also recurred on The Young and the Restless and ABC’s short-lived Scoundrels. His recent guest-star appearances include roles on Burn Notice and as the villain in the upcoming Charlie’s Angels reboot.

CSI: Miami returns Sunday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c on CBS. Bernard’s arc is slated to kick off in late October.

yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you, the best news I’ve heard lately.

tony’s back!

Tony: What’s her status?
*puts on glasses*
*hands on his waist*
Horatio: She’s either dead or dying.
*walks off screen*
Tony: Yeah…
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

“T.O.D., 24 hours ago.” “Who could’ve done this?”
“I think we know.” “You mean, the son of you-know-who?”
“That’s right.” “We’ve got to take them down, Horatio.”
“We will, Frank. We will. And when we do, I’ll personally
make sure they both do some –” [sunglasses] “– Real Time.”
YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH

I think it is really good to give Horatio more for his show because lately it hasn’t been too interesting to me. I missed last season and I have been catching up fairly good now that I learn about the Sling adapter from working with DISH. The Sling adapter allows you to watch you DVR recordings and LIVE TV from your phone or computer. So now I never miss anything that happens. I’m crossing my fingers that more good is to come than bad! Be sure to check out the Sling adapter.

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be at the net the easiest thing to have in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other folks think about issues that they plainly do not understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
