Connor Storrie<\/a> is set to appear on Criminal Minds: Evolution<\/a> season 19, starting THIS week! <\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Heated Rivalry star was previously revealed to be a guest star on the show\u2019s latest season, and his part got upgraded from one episode to four.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s upcoming arc. <\/p>\n

\"Still<\/a><\/p>\n

Who Connor Storrie plays on Criminal Minds: Evolution<\/p>\n

Connor is set to portray Lance Kingston, who is \u201ca 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very much interested in finding somebody that would stand out a bit. Connor won that, hands down,\u201d series creator Erica Messer tells Vulture<\/a>. \u201cThe interesting thing is, none of us knew what\u00a0Heated Rivalry\u00a0was. Even if it was on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9, I think the conversation was, \u2018He\u2019s just finished this thing that hasn\u2019t aired yet.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t anything more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Connor\u2019s character arc became bigger<\/p>\n

Connor had such a screen presence that writers expanded his role!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were like, \u2018Okay, I know he was important for episode four, but we\u2019ve got to make him more integral to the rest of the season,\u2019\u201d Erica Messer shared, adding his expanded part was \u201c100% because he was so compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What to expect from Connor\u2019s four-episode arc<\/p>\n

Erica shares that Connor\u2018s Lance Kingston goes \u201ctoe-to-toe with the BAU,\u201d and even revealed there\u2019s a scene where \u201cAdam [Rodriguez]\u2018s character kind of alphas him, in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Connor made such an impact on set that \u201ceverybody is asking, from our wardrobe department to our grips, \u2018Is there a way to bring him back?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Of a possible return, Messer says, \u201cI would just say, on\u00a0Criminal Minds\u00a0in general, you never say never.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

When to watch Connor on Criminal Minds: Evolution<\/p>\n

Connor\u2018s first episode, \u201cThe Witching Hour,\u201d will debut on Thursday (June 11) on Paramount+. <\/p>\n

He will also be seen in episodes five (June 18), six (\u201cProxy\u201d on June 25) and nine (\u201cSpecial Agent Garrity\u201d on July 16). <\/p>\n
