Why Josh From CSI: Vegas Looks So Familiar

Prior to being cast on "CSI: Vegas," Lauria had another noteworthy role over on Apple TV+. He played Ben Newton on "Dickinson," opposite Hailee Steinfeld. He's Emily Dickinson's (Steinfeld) father's clerk, and he's a major supporter of her pursuing poetry. They develop a friendship over time, and on any other series, one might surmise that the two would get involved romantically with one another, but instead, the two agree to "anti-marry" one another, promising that they'll both remain unwed for as long as they each live. 

For Ben, that turns out to be sooner than Emily probably would've liked. He comes down with an illness and soon perishes, much to Emily's dismay. His final episode in the series came with "I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain," allowing him to go on to appear in other shows, like "Tell Me a Story," "Little Birds," and, of course, "CSI: Vegas."
