The 44-year-old actor will star in the upcoming crime pilot Einstein for CBS, over four years after he parted ways with the network following the end of Criminal Minds.

Deadline reports that Matthew will play the “brilliant but directionless great grandson of Albert Einstein who spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad-boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective solve her most puzzling cases.”
“Lew Einstein is a popular professor at Princeton … when he actually shows up for class. Irreverent and misguided, Lew’s genius and famous name weighs heavily on him, but using his gift to help solve homicides may — finally– offer his life some direction and purpose,” the description added.
The show is being created by Monk‘s creator/executive producer Andy Breckman and director/executive producer Randy Zisk.
