The CSI Character Everyone Forgets Ted Danson's Daughter Played

According to IMDb, Kate Danson appeared in three episodes of "CSI," in seasons 13 and 14. She played attorney Jill McDermott, a character who fights hard for her clients and isn't afraid to get confrontational with the CSI team in their defense.

In the Season 13 episode "Sheltered," Kate first appears as McDermott, who defends a suspect that the team believes to be a bunker-dwelling serial killer. McDermott sees to it that her client, who is later revealed to be innocent, is released on grounds that his bunker was illegally searched. Kate later reprised the role of Jill McDermott in the Season 13 episode "Ghosts of the Past," and she made her final appearance as the attorney in Season 14's "Boston Brakes," in which she represents reporter John Merchiston (James Callis) who had to fake his own death and go into hiding.

In a 2013 interview with WENN (via TV Guide), Kate talked about her "CSI" debut: "I play a lawyer who knows she's in the right and the CSI team have done something wrong." She went on to discuss her scenes of on-screen conflict with Ted: "I come pretty hard at my dad and dig into him, which was a lot of fun to play... it was really great going head-to-head with him." 

It seems Kate thoroughly enjoys playing opposite her dad, so perhaps we'll see more on-screen collaborations from the two in the future.
