Connor Storrie’s breakout year shows no signs of slowing down.
Paramount+ confirmed Tuesday that Storrie will guest star in Season 19 of “Criminal Minds: Evolution,” premiering May 28 on the streaming service. Details about his character are being kept under wraps for now.
Storrie joins a packed roster of guest stars that includes Justin Kirk, Yvette Nicole Brown, Clark Gregg, Paul F. Tompkins, Cress Williams, Kofi Siriboe, Jeri Ryan, and Rob Yang, among others. Returning cast members include Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Zach Gilford, RJ Hatanaka, Adam Rodriguez, and Paget Brewster.
The casting is the latest milestone in a run that has made the 25-year-old one of the most talked-about new faces in Hollywood. Less than a year ago, Storrie was working as a waiter in Culver City while studying acting and comedy on the side. That changed fast. His breakout role as Russian hockey captain Ilya Rozanov in “Heated Rivalry,” opposite Hudson Williams as Canadian star Shane Hollander, turned both actors into global sensations within weeks of the show’s November 2025 premiere.
Since then, the momentum has been relentless. Storrie presented at the Golden Globes, served as an Olympic torchbearer ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics, appeared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” and became the newest ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent. He hosted “Saturday Night Live” in February, with the episode leaning heavily into hockey culture and featuring appearances from Olympic gold medalists and NHL stars.
Paramount+ also announced Tuesday that “Criminal Minds” has been renewed for a 20th season, set to premiere in 2027.
