Peter MacNicol is leaving "CSI: Cyber". The actor who played Stavros Sifter, a supervisor of Patricia Arquette's Avery Ryan, in the first season will not reprise his role when the show returns for the sophomore run. Deadline reports his exit was strictly creative.

Instead, "Cyber" will welcome Ted Danson, the current star of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation". Danson is expected to relocate to the spinoff and bring his character, D.B. Russell, to the new show when CBS concludes the mothership show this fall.
