CSI Files has published details about the cast of characters we'll see in the new spinoff series CSI: NEW YORK. Their news comes from a early draft of episode 23 of CSI: MIAMI which will introduce the New York CSI team to audiences.

According to the website, the chief who runs the NYC CSI division is a man named Calucci. If this holds true, that's the name of the character that Gary Sinese is tipped to play.

Calucci's scenes in the episode paint the character as more physical than CSI's Gil Grissom or CSI: MIAMI's Horatio Caine. One scene mentioned has Calucci chasing after a suspect on the rooftops of the Big Apple.

Calucci's right-hand woman is Stella Bonasera, described as being a scientific whiz that loves to use all the tools of her profession to close cases.

Rounding out the team are the supporting characters of Detective Don Flack and medical examiner Dr. Sheldon Hawkes.

CSI Files also has a description of the NYC team's medical examiner offices and other character traits. You can hit it by following this link to the piece.

Also in the news: CSI director/producer Danny Cannon has been promoted to executive producer on all three CSI shows. Cannon will direct the new show's pilot episode.

Joining Sinese in the series will be Vanessa Ferlito (THE 25TH HOUR) and Carmine Giovinazzo (BLACK HAWK DOWN).
