Aisha Tyler, who has a recurring part on “CSI” this season, is staying in the CBS family.
Tyler has signed a talent deal with the network, which will now look for a series project for her, targeted for fall 2005. Tyler says she’s open to either comedy or drama projects.
“With me coming off two dramas [‘CSI’ and Fox’s ’24’ later this season], we’ll be able to cast the net a little wider,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “We are open to any idea that’s original and fresh.”
Tyler began her six-episode stint on “CSI” last week, playing a scientist who offers her expertise to the Las Vegas CSI team. She’ll play a CTU data analyst on “24” when it returns to Fox in January. Tyler also appeared on FX’s “Nip/Tuck” earlier this season and played Ross’ girlfriend in a recurring role on “Friends.”
