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.

The fourth season of Numb3rs heads back under the supervision of big-screen director. Tony Scott, whose credits include Top Gun, Crimson Tide and Man on Fire, has already tapped into blockbuster movies but doesn't mind heading back to the small screen to give television viewers a dose of his ''major signature pieces.''
While working on the premiere episode entitled “Trust Metric,” Scott didn't limit himself for his first time behind the camera on CBS' drama. In fact, he even gave some styling advice to the cast, and dismantled some parts of the set for a more interesting camera angle.

Numb3rs star David Krumholtz dropped by the University of La Verne College of Law on Monday, September 10 in order to lead a discussion about the importance of entertainment attorneys to Hollywood actors.
"Hollywood is a really cut-throat business," Krumholtz said to a group of students and faculty and staff members. "As a lawyer, you have an actor's livelihood in your hands. You're the most essential cog in the wheel."

In the third season finale of CBS' Numb3rs, it was revealed that FBI Agent Colby Granger (Dylan Bruno) was actually working as a spy for the Chinese. This led to Colby's dismissal from the team and incarceration, but this does not necessarily mean that viewers will never know more about the character's shocking revelation.
According to executive producer Cheryl Heuton, some form of resolution to Colby's betrayal will be presented in the upcoming season of Numb3rs. "I think you'll see the essence of what you want to know resolved in one episode," Heuton told TV Guide, "and then a lot of repercussions on from there."
