Connor Storrie is set to appear on Criminal Minds: Evolution season 19, starting THIS week!
The 26-year-old Heated Rivalry star was previously revealed to be a guest star on the show’s latest season, and his part got upgraded from one episode to four.
Ahead of his first episode on Thursday (June 11), new photos have been unveiled of Connor on the series, and the creator is dishing on his character’s upcoming arc.
Who Connor Storrie plays on Criminal Minds: Evolution
Connor is set to portray Lance Kingston, who is “a charming yet manipulative narcissist who becomes entangled in a BAU investigation after being accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend. With a deep sense of entitlement and a complex connection to the case, Lance quickly emerges as a key figure in the unfolding investigation.”
“We were very much interested in finding somebody that would stand out a bit. Connor won that, hands down,” series creator Erica Messer tells Vulture. “The interesting thing is, none of us knew what Heated Rivalry was. Even if it was on his résumé, I think the conversation was, ‘He’s just finished this thing that hasn’t aired yet.’ It wasn’t anything more than that.”
How Connor’s character arc became bigger
Connor had such a screen presence that writers expanded his role!
“We were like, ‘Okay, I know he was important for episode four, but we’ve got to make him more integral to the rest of the season,’” Erica Messer shared, adding his expanded part was “100% because he was so compelling.”
What to expect from Connor’s four-episode arc
Erica shares that Connor‘s Lance Kingston goes “toe-to-toe with the BAU,” and even revealed there’s a scene where “Adam [Rodriguez]‘s character kind of alphas him, in a way.”
Connor made such an impact on set that “everybody is asking, from our wardrobe department to our grips, ‘Is there a way to bring him back?’”
Of a possible return, Messer says, “I would just say, on Criminal Minds in general, you never say never.”
When to watch Connor on Criminal Minds: Evolution
Connor‘s first episode, “The Witching Hour,” will debut on Thursday (June 11) on Paramount+.
He will also be seen in episodes five (June 18), six (“Proxy” on June 25) and nine (“Special Agent Garrity” on July 16).
