Variety reports that actor Zach Gilford, possibly best known as Matt Saracen on all five seasons of the series "Friday Night Lights," has signed on to appear prominently on "Criminal Minds: Evolution" in a recurring guest star capacity. Gilford will reportedly portray Elias Voit, "an operations analyst for a global cyber-security firm who has a dark side and an obsession with death," per Variety.
Gilford is also known for his work on NBC's "Good Girls" and Netflix's "Midnight Mass." He's also set to reteam with "Midnight Mass" director Mike Flanagan for the upcoming Netflix Edgar Allan Poe adaptation "The Fall of the House of Usher" — so he's certainly no stranger to the macabre.
In what is certainly welcome news for "Criminal Minds" fans, virtually everyone who was part of the show's main cast as of its final season is set to return for the new series, including Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Adam Rodriguez, and Paget Brewster.
