Of CBS’ #TheFBIs franchise, the mothership has arguably sustained the least cast shake-ups. Most recently, One Tree Hill‘s Shantel VanSanten was added as recurring for Seasons 4-5, before being “transferred’ to FBI: Most Wanted last TV season.
But the previous addition of a series regular came back in Season 3, when Katherine Renee Kane joined the cast as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace. Prior to that, John Boyd and Alana de la Garza were added back in Season 2, as Special Agent Stuart Scola and Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille.
Of the original FBI cast, Missy Peregrym (Maggie), Zeeko Zaki (OA) and Jeremy Sisto (Jubal) remain.
In addition to her one-season run on TV’s National Treasure offshoot, Olivera’s small-screen credits include the web series Total Eclipse.
