Sifter quickly rose up the ranks and positioned himself in a job where he is the clearinghouse between FBI Cyber and all other branches of government. He is a shrewd and savvy networker — a charmer with a hint of malice.
The CSI: Cyber cast also includes Community‘s Charley Koontz as Agent Daniel Grummitz.
MacNicol’s recent credits include guest stints on The Mindy Project and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
