His addition means that Ryan’s Kate, who until very recently had little going on in the romance department, will now attract the attentions of two good-looking guys. TVLine reported Thursday that Crossing Jordan‘s Ivan Sergei will guest-star this season as an enigmatic Ukranian lust interest for the lovely chief medical examiner.
