Matthew Gray Gubler stars in CBS pilot 'Einstein' as great-grandson of Albert Einstein

Matthew Gray Gubler, known for "Criminal Minds," will lead CBS's new pilot "Einstein." He plays Lew Einstein, the great-grandson of Albert Einstein, who is a professor at Princeton struggling with his legacy. The show is a comedic drama that follows Lew as he navigates his life and helps solve crimes after getting into trouble. The pilot is written by Andy Breckman, creator of "Monk," and directed by Randy Zisk. CBS announced the project in August, and Gubler will also serve as a producer. The series aims to explore Lew's journey from a directionless professor to a crime-solving partner.
