Actor Damon Gupton has been roped in by "Criminal Minds" as a series regular.
The news comes in the wake of original cast member Thomas Gibson's firing following a physical altercation on set, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"Our BAU family is growing. We're excited to have Damon join the show and work alongside our amazing cast and crew," showrunner Erica Messer said in a statement.
The 43-year-old actor will make his first appearance in the eighth episode of season 12 as Special Agent Stephen Walker, a seasoned profiler from the Behavioral Analysis Program, the counterintelligence division of the FBI.
