Father and daughter team up on CSI as Ted Danson shares the screen with Kate

Actor Ted Danson is to team up with his actress daughter Kate on TV when she plays a lawyer in an upcoming episode of his hit show Csi: Crime Scene Investigation.

Father and daughter worked on a short film together some years ago, but they've never teamed up on TV - until now.

Kate Danson tells WENN, "I was really fortunate to get to work with him on CSI... It was so much fun. We never worked together like that. We did a short film together but nothing professional until now, so it was really great going head to head with him.

"I play a lawyer who knows she's in the right and the CSI team have done something wrong, so I come pretty hard at my dad and dig into him, which was a lot of fun to play. It airs April 3rd and I'm hoping it will be a recurring character."

Meanwhile, CSI - one of the most popular shows around the world - has just been picked up for a 14th season.
