William Petersen is leaving CSI.

/cries in a corner

However, they have named his replacement!

(This is just a cool picture of him)

He was their top choice, said executive producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar, with a deeply intelligent approach to his work that matches the drama’s spirit.

This is the first ongoing series role for the in-demand film and stage actor since, improbably enough, he played Cowboy Curtis on “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” in the late 1980s. He’s not stepping away from movies with “CSI,” Fishburne said, but embarking on a “welcome change.”

Fishburne will play a college lecturer and former pathologist who is focused on why people commit acts of violence. The character is nameless for now but has been dubbed “The Professor.”

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 fall 2000 and will remain a “CSI” executive producer, the network said.

Fishburne’s character has a deep connection to his work: “The Professor” shares certain biological characteristics associated with aggressiveness and criminal behavior, Shankar said.

[/INDENT] CSI:Las Vegas is the shit. If you haven’t watched, stop what you’re doing and friggin watch it. Especially the early season 7 episodes with Liev Schreiber.




Mike Keppler, a CSI from Baltimore who was recently hired to staff the day shift, but is temporarily working the night shift until Grissom returns.


Now Keppler, I think, would have been an outstanding replacement for Grissom leaving - but the last you see of his character…well it’s questionable.* I still think they’re going to bring him back since you don’t get a sense of finality in his “departure”.* If Patch can come back in Days of Our Lives - so can Keppler.



/EXCITED!

I thought Sara came back, or is going to.
I don't see Fishburne making a good replacement...but then I've always liked William Petersen, and Fishburne, not so much.
