TVLine has learned exclusively that the Life Unexpected and Ringer vet is joining Season 8 in the recurring role of Caleb Brown, an idealistic public defender whose criminal clients put him at odds with Beckett and the 12th Precinct.
Polaha鈥檚 legal agitator arrives at a tumultuous time for Beckett, who is already contending with crises both personal (her split with Rick) and professional (her deadly search for Bracken鈥檚 partner). Regarding the former hullabaloo, co-showrunner Terence Paul Winter recently assured fans (via TVLine鈥檚 Matt Mitovich) that there is a method to the breakup madness.
