Are The Powers That Be Close To Casting Petersen's CSI Replacement??
Merrick here...
Laurence Fishburne, so great as Ike Turner in WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? and so...dour...in THE MATRIX films...is in talks to succeed William Petersen in CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION.
He'll play a new character:
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.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.
I've never really been into CSI at all, but Fishburne's character sounds like it could by fun/interesting.
