LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Laurence Fishburne is in talks to replace William Petersen as the star of CBS' veteran crime drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
The search for a new lead has been shrouded in secrecy, but sources say Fishburne is being heavily courted to play the new character, described as a doctor/scientist outsider to
the CSI unit who has the same genetic profile as a serial killer but hasn't previously acted on any homicidal impulses.
Fishburne, an Oscar nominee for "What's Love Got to Do With It," had been mentioned as one of the "CSI" producers' top choices for the role, along with John Malkovich and Kurt Russell.

a few details about their new partnership, and as promised, I worked in as many of your questions as I could.
Click in to find out their secret code name for the character, where he comes from and who is really taking over Grissom's old job... NEW DUDE
- Fishburne's character has no name yet, but according to the executive producers, "Our internal code name for the character is the Professor."
- (Ooh! Maybe the Skipper and his little buddy come, too? )They're totally soliciting suggestions for character names, so sound off in the comments below.
- Fishburne is cool. (In case you couldn't guess that from the past 25 years of his career): "Do not mistake my presence for the event," he said. "The event is CSI the show. Everyone brings their unique talents to the show, and that's what I'm going to do."
- According to Naren Shankar, the Professor's background is in research pathology. He's been forced out of that career, so he's become an itinerant college lecturer. He's teaching a course in criminalistics when he gets involved in an investigation—and, naturally, the ground-floor qualification for being a CSI is a background in science.
- Grissom (William Petersen) and the Professor will overlap, working on a case investigation together throughout episodes nine and 10. According to the exec producers, Fishburne is schedule to start shooting on Sept. 17 or 18, and his first appearance is scheduled for Dec. 11...or early 2009, depending on how the schedule shakes out.
- Said Naren: "It takes a special personality to be willing to start new—to a place where you're not in charge of everything—and start over. It's an interesting place to be," for both the writers and the actor. "And the character will feel very at home in the bowels of the coroner's office, a little more comfortable than he feels in the halls of the CSI office."
- With Grissom gone, Willows (Marg Helgenberger) will be supervising the team, with assistance from "CSI3" (senior CSI) Nick Stokes (George Eads). Fishburne's character will be joining the team as a "CSI1" (baby CSI). As Carol put it, "[Willows and Stokes] are the natural people to lead the team."
- Will Grissom be killed off or is he just riding off in to the sunset? Per Carol Mendelson, "We're not going to tell you how he's leaving." I'll go dollars to doughnuts on the sunset ride, but we'll see.

Got any more details on Lady Heather's return to CSI? — Christy
Ausiello: Yes, but if you're of the opinion that there's only one woman for Grissom and her name rhymes with Farrah then you may want to jump ahead to the next question.
According to executive producer Naren Shankar, when Melinda Clarke's dominatrix returns in November to console an in-crisis Grissom, "This will be the most intimate that we have seen them."
Shankar's partner in Crime, EP Carol Mendelsohn, takes it a step further, revealing that, "Grissom will go to bed at Lady Heather's.
Whether he will go to bed with Lady Heather remains to be seen. But Grissom will spend most of that episode at Lady Heather's." What kind of "genetic quirk" will Grissom's CSI replacement possess exactly? — Jaime

Talking 'CSI' changes and the show's new mystery man
| After years of stability in its lead cast, “CSI” has been rocked by a series of cast changes in the last year or so. The biggest, of course, is the departure of William Petersen as lead investigator Gil Grissom after Episode 10 of the new season of the hit CBS show. He may return to the show on an occasional basis, but the actor has other projects on the horizon, including a production of “Dublin Carol” at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre this fall. To fill out the cast, “CSI” will be adding a new character, a doctor with an intriguing backstory who’ll eventually take charge of the investigative unit. I asked executive producer Naren Shankar about what the future held for the show. First I’ll list the newsy bullet points of that conversation, with a longer explanation of the new “CSI” character following that.
“What [CBS president] Nina [Tassler] was really getting at [when she talked about the character] was that the new character has a genetic complex, a number of different genes and elements, that have been correlated with criminal behavior.” This man becomes involved with the “CSI” unit over the course of an investigation, as an expert witness. “He’s an academic, he has a background in clinical pathology,” Shankar said. Through his exposure to the world of criminal investigations and forensics, “he decides that this might be an interesting way to explore himself. He feels that if he has these genetic tendencies, maybe a way to see …if he has the ability [to become] a criminal -- a way to look at it is by understanding and studying violent criminals, what they do and why they do it. In a sense it’s like holding up a mirror to himself, but in an exciting and interesting way -- it’s a new career. That’s really the angle we’re going with,” Shankar said. I asked if the new character had actually done anything that made him think he may have criminal tendencies. “You know, we haven’t gotten to that level of really kind of nailing down the guy. It’s really about a guy exploring who he is, trying to use the world of solving murders and violent killers to understand his own soul,” Shankar said. Other reporters in the CBS session with Tassler brought up the idea that the story line sounds like it might have been influence by “Dexter.” “I love ‘Dexter,’ I absolutely adore it,” Shankar said. “To me, ‘Dexter’ is not a about a guy who’s trying to decide if he’s a serial killer. He is a serial killer. To me, ‘Dexter’ is about a guy who’s trying to decide if he’s a human being. It’s actually the exact opposite” of the “CSI” story line. “Our guy is not that guy.” “Our feeling is, and you never really know til you actually cast it, is that he’s going to a more volatile, maybe a little less predictable character than Grissom. But again, this is in the very early stages,” he added. Shankar couldn’t address what actors the show was approaching to take the role, except to confirm that the show had approached John Malkovich but that didn’t work out. He said they were planning on the character joining the show in Episode 9 of the new season, so that the new guy and Petersen could interact for at least two episodes. They have around a month or a month and a half to find the actor who’ll join the show, he said. Shankar said that the first four episodes of the new season have already been shot, and that the show will start up production in mid-August with Episode 5. I asked if he was worried about alienating any segments of the passionate “CSI” fan base with any of the episodes or story arcs for the new season or with the changes in the cast. “There’s a whole segment of the fan base that goes crazy over this [personal] stuff, then a whole segment of the fan base that doesn’t want that stuff at all. ‘I don’t care about Grissom and whoever, I just want a good mystery,’” Shankar said. “You can never make everyone happy and if you try to you're bound to fail. All you can try to do is tell a great mystery week after week after week.” “Unlike a lot of shows that get very deep into their run, we try so hard to remember what we are, to never forget what we are. We are not going to become a soap opera. We are not going to change, for lack of a better term, the DNA of what the show is. Because what we are at its heart is a crime-solving mystery/forensics drama. That is what we are, down to the tiniest molecule of what the show is,” he said. |
An old friend returns.
According to Ausiello, when Lady Heather returns to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in season nine, she and Gil Grissom will be very close. "This will be the most intimate that we have seen them," said executive producer Naren Shankar. Shankar's fellow executive producer Carol Mendelsohn elaborated. "Grissom will go to bed at Lady Heather's," she explained. "Whether he will go to bed with Lady Heather remains to be seen. But Grissom will spend most of that episode at Lady Heather's." TV Guide's Matt Roush got a sneak peek at the upcoming premiere for CSI's ninth season. While Roush didn't give details about the premiere, he did give his opinion on the episode and the show's lead actor. "I was more than satisfied and even more impressed than usual by Petersen's performance and by the way the script and the show deals with the fallout of what happens to Warrick Brown," Roush said. "It's pretty intense," Roush continued, "and the return of Sara Sidle adds even more emotional weight to the episode." Roush also commented on the premiere regarding the upcoming reduction of Petersen's role on the show. "[I] can't say how far they'll continue to explore Grissom's psyche in his remaining episodes as a series regular, but they're off to a promising start," he said. The original news is from Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly and Matt Roush at TV Guide.

'CSI' may have influenced man's death, police say ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- It looked like something out of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." And sure enough, it was. State police said Wednesday that they solved a mysterious eastern New Mexico shooting death that was similar to a shooting depicted in a 2003 "CSI" episode. In both cases, a revolver was found tied to balloons in an apparent effort to make the weapon float away. Authorities determined that Thomas Hickman committed suicide after an investigation that included a detective renting a copy of the episode. "We're not saying it's a copycat of the TV show," state police Lt. Rick Anglada said. "We have no way to know he actually saw the episode. However, the lead agent kept hearing from people that there was a similar case from 'CSI.' "At first, investigators suspected homicide when Hickman, 55, of North Richland Hills, Texas, was found dead March 15 along U.S. 84 southeast of Santa Rosa, his mouth covered by duct tape. Evidence soon directed them elsewhere. The clue that linked the case to the TV series: six or seven white balloons found entangled in a cholla cactus about 30 feet from the body. So the detective rented the show and took notes."There were similarities in the episode, where a character did tie helium balloons to a gun and hoped it would float away," Anglada said. Medical investigators ruled the death a suicide, Anglada said, and additional evidence led detectives to conclude that the scene had been intended to look like a homicide. The handgun's grips had been removed and the trigger guard was sawed off, an apparent attempt to lighten the weapon. Anglada said investigators searched the garage of Hickman's home in Texas and found matching metal shavings. Only a single spent shell casing remained in the chamber, Anglada said, and there was no evidence that the 6-foot-6, 260-pound Hickman, a regional manager for Red Lobster restaurants, had resisted his death."There were no signs of a struggle, and he was a large man, not bound in any way," Anglada said. Hickman was last seen two days before his body was found. Investigators believe that he filled the balloons with helium, tied the balloon bouquet to the weapon and then duct-taped his own mouth and shot himself in the back of the head.They also found he held a life insurance policy that would pay his wife $388,000 or double that amount if his death was accidental. "Everything just pointed back to Thomas Hickman killing himself," Anglada said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ LOS ANGELES - Hoofdrolspeler William Petersen verlaat de hitserie CSI. Dat meldt de BBC. De acteur, die teamleider Gil Grissom speelt, maakte vanaf de eerste aflevering van het eerste seizoen deel uit van de vaste cast van de serie. Petersen (55) wil zich meer op het theater gaan richten. De laatste aflevering waarin hij zijn opwachting maakt, wordt begin volgend jaar uitgezonden. Diverse illustere personages uit het CSI-verleden zullen tijdelijk terugkeren in aanloop naar het afscheid van Grissom. Onder hen bevinden zich in elk geval twee vrouwen voor wie de emotieloze Grissom de afgelopen jaren affectie heeft getoond: zijn voormalige collega Sara Sidle, die in het achtste seizoen al afscheid nam van de serie, en Lady Heather, een sm-meesteres met wie de rechercheur een haat-liefderelatie onderhoudt. Nieuwe personage De leegte die Petersen met zijn vertrek achterlaat, wordt opgevuld door een nieuw mannelijk karakter. Acteurs John Malkovich en Laurence Fishburne zijn in de race voor de nieuwe hoofdrol in de hitserie. Dat meldt de New York Post donderdag. Hitserie CSI vertelt over een groep forensisch rechercheurs die moorden oplossen in Las Vegas. De serie trekt over de gehele wereld honderden miljoenen kijkers. www.nu.nl

William Petersen verlaat CSI. You know that fancy new CSI contract that William Petersen inked last May? Turns out there was a ticking time bomb buried in the fine print:
He'll be gone by midseason! And not "off too do a play" gone like he was back in 2006. No, this season's 10th episode will be his last as a full-time series regular.
"Billy is leaving," confirms the show's executive producer, Carol Mendelsohn. "But he will remain throughout the run of the series an executive producer.
And he will, whenever CBS asks, come back. I don't think you've seen the last of Gil Grissom."
Neither does Petersen. In fact, in an exclusive interview conducted on July 11, the eight-year CSI vet seemed almost reluctant to characterize his departure as, um, a departure.
Citing both his ongoing role as an executive producer and his intention to return on occasion as a (very special) guest star, he said, "I'm in a great place in terms of knowing that
I'll be more free to make choices. And I'm responsible enough to not do it in a way that would hurt [the show].
"I want it to work for the writers, I want it to work for the cast, and, most importantly, I want it to work for the audience," he added. "I don't want them to abandon the show."
CBS has to be concerned about that, too. Although no one expects ratings to nosedive when Petersen leaves, the network's top-rated show is staring down its biggest challenge ever.
His sorta swan song, coupled with Jorja Fox and Gary Dourdan's exits last season, brings to three the number of original cast members CSI will have lost in a year's time.
"This will be a year of transition for the show," concedes Mendehlson. "We always knew it was coming, and I'm glad it didn't come until now." At this point, she's confident that,
like Law & Order and ER, CSI is a franchise that can weather such cast shifts. "There's never going to be another William Petersen, and there will never be another Jorja Fox,"
she hastens to add. "But we are not out to just replace those actors. We're out to add new characters to the show, and the show will change as a result. But that's a good thing."
(For more on CSI's post-Grissom plans, click here.) In the meantime, Mendelsohn is plotting one hell of a send-off for her leading man. Just as this is a year of transition for CSI,
so too is it for Grissom. The events of last season's finale -- specifically the death of Dourdan's Warrick -- will push Grissom to the breaking point. "The easiest way to describe Grissom is 'in crisis,'
" Petersen told me. "As a man. As a scientist. As a teacher. As a middle-aged person who has been very successful at what he's done... [he] wonders, 'What's the point?'
"It's all of a sudden becoming more difficult for him to do his job," he continued. "What had been a sort of fun job for him to do, because he loved the solving of the riddle,
has become ever more taxing and difficult." Helping Grissom through the crisis will be his true love, Sara, played by Fox, who is returning for multiple episodes, starting with the season premiere.
While Petersen confirms that Sara will figure into Grissom's final arc, he stops just short of saying the couple will ride off into the desert together at the end of episode 10.
"I wouldn't want to say exactly what we're going do -- I want people to watch, certainly," he chuckled. "But Sara is involved... It's often darkest just before the dawn."
And lest anyone read any hidden meaning into that statement, the actor reiterated, "For me, it's a really good situation.
I don't want the audience to think it's not... [It isn't] like there's something going on, like 'Petersen's unhappy,' 'cause it's not true. It's quite the contrary. "
That explains why he's having trouble labeling his departure a... well, you know. "My biggest problem with leaving the show at any point isn't leaving Grissom --
I'm an actor, it's time to do other things," said the stage vet, whose first post-CSI gig will be a return to the theater -- and to Connor McPherson's play, A Dublin Carol --
this fall in his hometown of Chicago. "[The hard part will be saying goodbye] to the cast and crew. [So] I'm going to stay as involved as I'm allowed to be throughout the remainder of this show.
Until they turn off all the lights."
He'll be gone by midseason! And not "off too do a play" gone like he was back in 2006. No, this season's 10th episode will be his last as a full-time series regular.

A CSI writer talks about the serie: The CSI Writer, David Rambo, recently spoke to the Brazilian GSR message board. He said: "I consider myself an incredibly lucky man,"
he said, "happy at home and fulfilled by challenging work." The playwright and screenwriter said that writing is what he always wanted to do.
"Before writing, I had been an actor, a musician, a singer, an office assistant and a salesman," he explained. "All of that experience informs my writing today." -
"We generally discuss the story for about a week, sometimes two weeks. Then the writer has a week to craft the screenplay. That's followed by about another week of
rewriting before the episode is filmed," Rambo said, explaining the process of creating an episode of the forensic drama. He went on to say,
"Anything can be an inspiration for an episode of CSI. Sometimes we draw from crimes that we have read about or seen on TV. Most of the time, however, one of us will say,
'What if...?' and we all start contributing ideas." - "The fans discovered CSI and made it a hit when all the industry experts said the show wouldn't last," Rambo said.
"I'm so grateful to them. While it's impossible to answer every email and letter I receive, I do try to let the fans know that I appreciate their support of the show.
" He gave members of the GSR board a hint about the upcoming season: "Don't miss the Season 9 premiere. Sara Sidle is there, and Grissom's glad to see her."

What George says: George Eads has been playing Nick Stokes on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation since the show first began eight years ago.
Eads is still positive about his presence on set and his character. "I kinda took it as a personal challenge to evolve, to mature, to show change," Eads said in a press conference.
"Every scene I do, I try to improve and make it better than my last." Eads described himself as passionate, saying that he truly loves his job.
Eads admits that he partly models his character on his father, who was a district attorney for 28 years, and that had a profound effect on Eads.
But what does George Eads want to see happen in Nick Stokes life this coming season?? "I just want him to continue to exude strength of character,
" he said, but pointed out that it is ultimately up to the writers.
Eads also spoke about change on the show, saying that it can be scary. "Some of our characters are leaving," he explained. Eads also pointed out,
"Grissom has got a short shelf life, and he's been my mentor both on the show and away from the show." However, it isn't just about who is departing.
"Maybe the introduction of some new characters will help spice things up [and] keep it fresh," the actor suggested.
"I'm so proud of the fact that our show has spawned more scripted drama," The show has had other effects as well. Eads spoke about the ability to evoke emotion from the
audience--and from himself. "I watched the final episode of season eight for us, and I found myself sobbing," he explained. "It was so emotional that I don't think there's anything
else that can evoke a good cry in me like that, you know. I felt better after it." Once he is done with CSI, (lets hope that’s not soon) he plans to keep moving onward and upward. "It's the tip of the iceberg of what I want to do professionally," he explained.
"I want to produce, I want to direct, I want to make film."
Eads is still positive about his presence on set and his character. "I kinda took it as a personal challenge to evolve, to mature, to show change," Eads said in a press conference.
"Every scene I do, I try to improve and make it better than my last." Eads described himself as passionate, saying that he truly loves his job.
Eads admits that he partly models his character on his father, who was a district attorney for 28 years, and that had a profound effect on Eads.
But what does George Eads want to see happen in Nick Stokes life this coming season?? "I just want him to continue to exude strength of character,
" he said, but pointed out that it is ultimately up to the writers.
"Grissom has got a short shelf life, and he's been my mentor both on the show and away from the show." However, it isn't just about who is departing.
"Maybe the introduction of some new characters will help spice things up [and] keep it fresh," the actor suggested.
"I'm so proud of the fact that our show has spawned more scripted drama," The show has had other effects as well. Eads spoke about the ability to evoke emotion from the
audience--and from himself. "I watched the final episode of season eight for us, and I found myself sobbing," he explained. "It was so emotional that I don't think there's anything
else that can evoke a good cry in me like that, you know. I felt better after it."
"I want to produce, I want to direct, I want to make film."

Geen CSI's meer van UNLV: The only public university in Las Vegas won't be producing any more crime scene investigators.
With the success of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) opened a forensic science program to take advantage of the interest spawned by the series.
However, students at the university will no longer be able to study to be a CSI. After less than five years, the program is being shut down. The program generated publicity for the university,
but money is a problem. UNLV doesn't have the funds to hire the director and faculty members needed to work toward accreditation. "The decision needed to be made,
" Michael Bowers, vice provost for academic affairs, told the Las Vegas Sun, "whether we were going to allow it to continue to limp along in its present state or whether we were going to phase
it out or sink the resources into it to make it the robust program that it needed to be." The loss of the program is a shame, says Randy McLaughlin, the acting director of
crime scene investigation for the Metro Police. "It's unfortunate," he explained. "We want to train our own and recruit our own from our area ... People that grew up here,
people that were raised here, are more likely to stay around and contribute to the community." Even though UNLV will phase out the program,
"Every student currently in the forensic science concentration will have the opportunity to graduate," Bowers said in an e-mail. The original article is from the Las Vegas Sun.

Gary Dourdan aka Warrick Brown is joining the troubled stars on the second season of hard-hitting US reality show Celebrity Rehab With Dr Drew, according to reports.
The actor was arrested in California in April after police found drugs in his car. He agreed a deal in court requiring him pay a GBP2,500 fine and to complete a 16-class drug program.
According to the National Enquirer, producers of the show approached Dourdan shortly after the plea bargain and asked him to take part in the series - and he agreed.
A source tells the tabloid, "Gary knows he screwed up, but he wants to stay in the public eye. He didn't think twice about doing the show. He's used to being on TV."
A spokesperson for the show refused to confirm Dourdan's involvement.
It is rumoured he will join Rod Stewart's son Sean, singer Tawny Kitaen, Grease star Jeff Conaway and rocker Steve Adler in rehab.
The 21-day program, lead by Dr. Drew Pinsky, will air in October. Filming began on Monday.

bron: TV Guide Magazine Waarom moest Warrick dood (en was de verhaallijn beinvloed door Gary Dourdan’s problemen in zijn echte leven? Executive producer Carol Mendelsohn vertelde TV Guide,
“We thought that if we ever lost Warrick (Dourdan), this was the way he would go…We knew where we were going with Warrick long before Gary went to the Coachella music festival
[Dourdan was arrested for drug possession shortly after attending the festival], and that it would be a truly classic battle - a battle to the death…
The premiere [of Season 9] is the last time you will probably see our entire cast together. Our original cast. And that means Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox).”

14 juni 2008 Zullen de acteurs gaan staken. (Bron: CSIfiles)
The contract between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) runs out June 30.
Negotiations are continuing, but it is unclear whether a deal will be reached before the deadline. SAG's national executive director Doug Allen stated in an e-mail that the guild would like
to reach an agreement soon, but they are prepared to extend the negotiations into July. The actors have not yet called for a strike-authorization vote, which would require a 75% majority to pass.
An authorization vote, however, would not guarantee an immediate work stoppage. The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), who have bargained jointly with SAG
for 27 years, suspended that agreement and negotiated with the producers on its own. AFTRA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP on May 28, and the results of the ratification
vote are due on July 9. SAG has put pressure on AFTRA, and even if the deal is ratified, there are questions about whether AFTRA actors would work during a SAG strike. Some television series,
such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: New York and New York's lead in Criminal Minds, will have episodes filmed by the time the SAG contract runs out. Other popular series,
including CSI: Miami and CSI's competitor Grey's Anatomy, will not have any finished episodes in the can in case of a work stoppage. The networks might push the start of the fall season
back if the actors go on strike. The original articles are from The Hollywood Reporter and can be found here and here.

Volgens Carol Mendelsohn herselff!
Sara is coming back. Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) bid farewell to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation after the episode "Goodbye and Good Luck" midway through season eight.
Fox said she would return to the show at some point, but she could not reveal when that would be. It was later stated that Sara wouldn't be back in season eight.
Ausiello is now reporting that Sara's return will happen sooner than expected. Fox has signed a deal to appear in the season nine premiere this fall. Ausiello confirmed that Fox
"won't be appearing in a flashback." The specific details of the comeback, however, are unclear. Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan), who was shot in the season finale,
is also set to return in the fall. In the latest issue of TV Guide, executive producer Carol Mendelsohn said Dourdan would be back, but "not just in flashbacks.
" The original news is from Ausiello. Check out next week's issue of TV Guide for more information about Fox's return to CSI. - CSI files

CSI boss Carol Mendelsohn wasn't pulling my leg when she told me last October that we haven't seen the last of Sara Sidle. Sources confirm that Jorja Fox has inked a deal to return for the show's ninth-season premiere next fall.
Specifics of her comeback are being kept under lock and key, but my CSI mole assures me that she "won't be appearing in a flashback."
The likely scenario has Sara returning to Vegas to shag Grissom mourn ex-colleague Warrick, who was shot (and presumably)
killed in last week's finale. I say "presumably" because in the current issue of TV Guide, Mendelsohn says Gary Dourdan will be back in the fall — and "not just in flashbacks."
I've got three words for you: Gut-wrenching death scene.
For more on Fox's CSI return, pick up next week's season finale fallout-themed issue of TV Guide, which I'm hearing is a veritable spoilerpalooza!
In the meantime, post your thoughts on Fox's mini-comeback in the comments section below. — Additional reporting by Carita Rizzo
