Cahill who is best known for roles in CSI: NY, Friends, and Felicity among others will join Lindsey Kraft (Grace and Frankie, Getting On, Why Women Kill) in back-to-back installments titled “Welcome to the Snow Globe” Parts 1 and 2. While they have no exact airdate yet, there’s a definite holiday theme going on.
In the episodes, Cahill will play Jake/James, who is described as being straight out of a “Festive Channel” movie. Jake/James is rugged, kind, and handsome, but his presence on Fantasy Island may turn out to be the one thing that throws Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sánchez) into a tailspin.
