EXCLUSIVE: My Name Is Earl alumna Nadine Velazquez has joined TNT drama series Major Crimes as new regular for the upcoming second season. Additionally, former Closer co-star Robert Gossett, who recurred as Assistant Chief Russell Taylor, Captain Raydor’s (Mary McDonnell) direct superior, on the first season of Major Crimes, is being promoted to regular. On The Closer spinoff, Velazquez will play Deputy D.A. Emma Rios. 
Newly assigned to the Phillip Stroh case, Emma interviews Rusty (Graham Patrick Martin) about his involvement as a key witness in the murder case. She immediately causes a stir within the department, coming into conflict with Raydor (McDonnell) when she questions Raydor’s intentions as Rusty’s guardian and challenges her authority. Velazquez, repped by Gersh and KLWGN, was recently seen in Flight and in a 16-episode arc on FX’s The League. She is in Snitch and next stars in Aztec Warrior. Gossett, repped by Stone Manners Salners, is the second Closer alum and recurring player on Major Crimes to be promoted to regular for Season 2, joining Jonathan del Arco.

more “botoxed models in peril” beging rescued by their fellow models.
Yep, nothing new there!
WTF are you talking about? Shes all real, and shes spectacular! Hope she has to do alot of “undercover” work, esp as a hooker or stripper! MMM, Catalina is Muy bonita!
I really think that TNT didn’t expect Major Crimes to have such success. Series returns in the summer which is a longggggg wait for the fans that has now welcomed the spinoff of the Closer. Tighten up and keep those episodes coming.
Although I am enjoying “Major Crimes”, it is a good show,
but no ways as good as “The Closer”. Just my opinion.
Am very happy we’ll be seeing more Robert Gossett!
I smell a romance brewing between this new gal and Julio!
Glad it’s coming back. I agree with an earlier comment. They need the tight writing like “The Closer”. But all in all it’s getting there.
will there be a romance between robert gossett and nadine velazquez
at least…unlike CLOSER….this incarnation can have more than ONE female regular. Cld actor/producer!!! Keira not afford even 1 other female regular after that first season?!
Like Ivan said, TNT waits to long to bring this show back on. I had almost forgotten about it. Enjoyed the Closer, and I watched Major Crimes hoping it will pickup up interest and maybe a 1 time return of Brenda,just to pop in and say “hey yall”. Will set my DVR and hope it’s worth the wait.
This gal looks and moves very sexy! Always look forward to seeing her. She looks very natural.
