Lawrence Fishburn To Head CSI
2008-08-18
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" has solved the mystery of who will replace departing CBS series star William Petersen: It's Laurence Fishburne.

Fishburne will be introduced in the ninth episode of the upcoming 10th season, the network said Monday. He'll play a forensics scientist with a secret.

The air date for Petersen's final episode has yet to be determined but will be early next year. Petersen has been with the series since it debuted in 2000.
This has been described as 'like replacing Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes'. Fishburn has his work cut out for him.

#3  In all candor, they could have done worse. I like Lawrence Fishburn.

#2  His secret is that he is not really a forensics scientist. He just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

#1  Hollywood has a hard time with intellectual characters, but they are extremely popular with the fans. Rational scientists make Hollywood itch, because they want to deal with characters solely on emotional and physical terms.
