'FBI' Casting Change: Who's Joining After Lisette Olivera's Syd Ortiz Exits Series

There’s a recasting going on in CBS’ smash-hit series FBI.

Lisette was supposed to play a Behavioral Analyst named Syd Ortiz on the drama. It turned out that her character did not fit in well, Deadline reports, and adds it was “not a reflection of [Lisette's] work.”

As she’s only 25 years old, the role may have been miscast. As Deadline put it, “she played too young for an FBI Special Agent.”

Now, TV Line has provided an update on who might be replacing her in a new role on the show.

They said, “The hit CBS drama is currently casting the recurring role (with the option to become a series regular next season) of a thirtysomething female agent who has gobs of undercover experience.”

By the way, Lisette‘s exit from the show comes after another star departed.
