For all curious fans who have e-mailed
me, I have confirmed that it is NOT Elias in the new
Verizon Rhapsody commercial
(the one
where the parents are dressed strangely at the end). The unknown
actor bears a striking resemblance, but it is not him. And no,
it's not Christopher Meloni either.....

The season premiere of CSI N.Y. is going
to be September 24, 2008. The episode is supposed to pick up where
the season finale ended last season. For those who need a re-cap of
the episode, you can catch a mini-clip here:

Last season, Elias played a bank robber / murderer who may or may not
be who he says he is. Is he really the bank robber or just a pawn for
the real robbers? Season 5 will kick off with
Mac (Gary Sinise) still held
hostage, and the team trying to figure out how to help him. In the
aftermath of a bank heist gone bad, Mac wakes up in a submerged car
with no memory of how he got there.
