Cibrian started out in commercials and daytime soaps before making the leap to prime time---where, due to his good looks, he was frequently cast as a lothario and called upon for chest-baring roles. But his five-year stint on
Third Watch as a hero fireman proved that he had substance as well as sex appeal. In 2005, he headed up the cast of the eerie sci-fi series
Invasion, which, despite critical acclaim, lasted only one season. After appearing in a stint of 2008
Ugly Betty episodes, Cibrian made a full-time return to prime time the following year, when he joined the cast of the hit
CSI: Miami as Crime Scene Investigator Jesse Cardoza.
