'Criminal Minds' Vet Matthew Gray Gubler to Star in CBS' 'Einstein' Pilot
EXCLUSIVE: Big news for Criminal Minds fans: One of the long-running series' most popular stars, Matthew Gray Gubler, is returning to television as the lead in another CBS crime series, Einstein (working title).
Gubler will play the title role and executive produce the CBS Studios pilot, from the Monk team of creator/executive producer Andy Breckman and director/executive producer Randy Zisk. Like Monk, and the German series on which Einstein is based, the CBS procedural is a drama with comedic undertones.
In this brilliant but aimless film, Albert Einstein's great-grandson (Gubler) spends his days as a comfortably appointed professor until his bad behavior gets him in trouble with the law and he's forced to help a local detective solve her most puzzling cases.
