Laurence Fishburne Leaving CSI

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 8th, 2011

Laurence Fishburne is leaving ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,’ reports CTV.

Joining the show midway through the 2008-09 season as Dr. Raymond Langston, Fishburne reportedly won’t be back on the crime drama this fall, says a source.

The source spoke anonymously on Tuesday because the announcement has not been officially announced, revealing that the show’s producers anticipated the leave as Fishburne’s movie career has always been his primary focus.

The show will return for its 12th season this fall, and still continues to rank among the 20 top-rated shows on television.

I always though Fishburne was better than television. No offence to TV actors, but he is just such a great actor and has such screen presence, that it’s time for him to focus on films again. Let’s do another ‘Matrix,’ yeah?

Justin Bieber Shot Dead

Posted by @coltondaniel on February 18th, 2011

Don’t get too excited. The beloved Justin Bieber was only shot down in a new episode of CSI, which is the latest platform that the shaggy haired Canadian-boy has dominated.

The Biebs has been everywhere, from Ellen to SNL, over the past few weeks in a promotional rampage of his new concert-documentary: “Never Say Never”. On Thursday night, his short-lived television career as a character on CSI came to a tragic end.

The songbird returned to the set of the TV drama earlier this year to reprise his role as Jason McCann, after surprising both critics and cast-members with his acting skills last year.

You can watch and re-watch and share and soak in the hilarity here.

Fink’s Journey To The Top Not Revolutionary, But It Works

Posted by Emma Renda on September 30th, 2009

FinkFin Greenall, more famously known as UK singer-songwriter Fink, tours in a bus just like every other mid-level musician out there.

But if it were up to him, his ultimate tour would go a little something like this: roaming through the English countryside or vast stretches of North American highway on a motorbike, with the rest of his band and gear following in a van behind him. Granted he lifted most of the idea from biker-metal band Slayer, Greenall can’t be blamed for inventing a rock star fantasy to give an edge to his gentle acoustic guitar-wielding persona.

He muses for a moment about the very bad-ass nature of such a tour, blithely tallying the unpleasant logistics involved. But Greenall isn’t about to let a stiff behind and a few bugs in his teeth cramp his style.

“The problem with fantasies, the reality is that they’re a bummer,” says Greenall. “Sometimes you gotta go, ‘Well yeah, in Easy Rider those bikes look pretty uncomfortable. But you still look pretty fucking cool when you’re driving down the street.’”

It seems an unlikely way to start an interview with the angel-voiced tenor from Brighton, England. Yet Greenall somehow morphs the motorcycle daydream into an allegory for his music career, and ultimately, his life.

“You have to find the balance between what is doable and ‘Actually, that would suck,’” Greenall tells andPOP. “I wouldn’t be doing music at all. [People said] ‘Dude, you’re not going to be able to do it.’ And I said, ‘Well, fuck it. I’ll do it anyway.’”

Fishburne Says That He Never Watched CSI

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 21st, 2008

Although he’s the newest CSI cast member, academy award nominee, Laurence Fishburne says that prior to auditioning for the show he’d never seen an episode of “CSI”.

According to CTV.ca, Fishburne said in an interview, “I felt a little stupid and embarrassed that I hadn’t watched the show.”

When William Petersen, who plays lead character, Gil Grissom, announced that he was leaving the show earlier this year, producers started searching for a new lead character for the crime series.

Starting early 2009, Fishburne will play a character called “The Professor”.

Petersen will make guest appearances on the show and will continue to be an executive producer for the series.

Fishburne will start taping with the series in September.

William Petersen Leaves ‘CSI’

Posted by Eva Lam on July 16th, 2008

William Petersen has decided to leave “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” after more than eight seasons as forensics specialist Gil Grissom.

The tenth episode of the hit show’s upcoming season will be Peterson’s last as a full-time series regular, executive producer Carol Mendelsohn confirmed to Entertainment Weekly.

However, the original cast member will return for occasional guest appearances and will stay on as a “CSI” executive producer.

“I’m in a great place in terms of knowing that I’ll be more free to make choices.”,” Petersen told EW. “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 said. “I don’t want them to abandon the show.”

Petersen, who took a break during the 2006-07 season to perform in a play, has more stage projects lined up in the near future, including a starring role in “Dublin Carol” at Steppenwolf beginning Nov. 13.

“CSI,” which debuted in fall 2000, will feature the return of several familiar faces in the episodes leading up to Grissom’s departure, including former colleague and love interest Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), Lady Heather (Melinda Clarke) and the Miniature Killer.

A new male investigator is also set to join the series, though the role has yet to be cast.

“CSI” finished last season as CBS’s top-rated series and ranked No. 9 among all shows with an average weekly audience of 17 million.

It has spawned two successful spinoffs, “CSI: Miami” and “CSI: New York.”

Canadian Actress Joins ‘CSI’

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on May 19th, 2008

Lauren Lee Smith is left to fill in the void left by Gary Dourdan and Jorja Fox. “The L Word” star is set to join “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” as a series regular next season, CBS has announced.

The Vancouver-born actress will play Bryce Adams— a “smart, flirtatious and witty nonconformist” — who got into police work to rebel against her judgmental psychiatrist father. Adams is set to join Gil Grissom’s team in the night shift.

Fox and Dourdan have left the show after failing to draw out new contracts. Smith had a recurring role on Showtime’s “The L Word” as sous chef Lara Perkins and played Emma DeLauro in the show “Mutant X.”
