Last week, viewers got taste of the onscreen chemistry of real-life brothers Dylan and Chris Bruno as Numb3rs featured the episode “Chinese Box.” Chris, who is popularly known as Sheriff Bannerman on The Dead Zone, guest starred on the police drama where Dylan plays FBI agent Colby Granger. Chris joined the cast as a SWAT captain named Tim Kring in a plot that finds the team under pressure when a former FBI subcontractor shoots an agent inside the FBI headquarters. Though the team was left with a severely restricted plan of action, he saves the day just as David (Alimi Ballard) was taken hostage inside the FBI building.
The Bruno brothers may not get along on screen but certainly enjoys every opportunity to work together. Producers of Numb3rs have been joking around for quite some time in having Dylan convince his brother Chris for a guest spot on the show and the chance finally came in the 10th episode of season 4.

Numb3rs, the FBI centric show that proves that mathematics can also be used to help catch criminals and solve crimes, counts on a real-life math specialist so that the show will be as authentic as possible. Serving as a consultant to the series is California Institute of Technology (Caltech) professor Gary Lorden, who works out the actual numbers behind Numb3rs.
According to Lorden, most of the math used on the show is based on actual experiences he has encountered with lawyers on legal cases and with other classified research projects involving the government.
