Matt Lanter ("Commander in Chief") Makes His First Appearance in a Recurring Role

"Russo" -- A notoriously shady, high-profile private investigator whom Sebastian often hired for his defense cases ends up being a suspect in the double homicide case that Sebastian is prosecuting, on SHARK, Thursday, Oct. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Ron Lagomarsino directed the episode written by Kevin Falls, one of the series' consulting producers.

Matt Lanter ("Commander in Chief") makes his first appearance in a recurring role as Julie's classmate/crush, Eddie Linden.

The Malibu beach house where a young couple was murdered is owned by Harry Russo, Sebastian's crooked former P.I. whom Jessica has been building a grand jury case against for the past two years. Sebastian's frustrated when the blas� Russo provides a weak alibi, claims not to know the victims and, upon being pressed further about the murders, declares that he can't discuss client business. Meanwhile, smitten with her study partner, Eddie (Lanter), Julie chooses to risk her straight-A status by putting his homework needs ahead of her own.
