An actress who recently co-starred on NBC’s "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" has been tapped for a role on Fox’s "Bones" spinoff, reports TVLine.com.

Joining Michael Clarke Duncan and Geoff Stults in the cast will be Saffron Burrows, who played Det. Serena Stevens on “Criminal Intent.”

Burrows will play the part of the sidekick to Stults’ character, Walter Sherman, who is known as "the Locator" because of his ability to find anything, the story says. Her character is a bar owner who can fly a helicopter.

The spinoff is based on "The Locator" books by Richard Greener and the pilot will be planted as the 19th episode of "Bones’" current season, the story notes.
