Lauren Lee Smith is joining CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as a regular, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Smith will play Bryce Adams, a smart, flirtatious and witty nonconformist who is hired as a CSI on the night-shift team led by Grissom (William Petersen).

Canadian-born Smith, who co-starred on CBS' pilot Can Openers this past development season, is expected to fill the void left by the departure of "CSI" co-star Jorja Fox.
