The 'CSI' Franchise Case File: Couple vs Writer, or When Those Similarities Aren't Coincidential
It's another week, and what I thought would be some serious downtime isn't turning out to be just that. The biggest news in CSI this week is, well, a lawsuit filed against the producers! Sure you've heard of this, but I'll have my own take on this later. Also on this week's case file, Delko talks about girlfriend materials, and Mac talks about why he's happy with having a secure job in New York
Item one: One writer for defamation, please.
Item two: One character for longevity, please. CSI: NY's Gary Sinise told the National Ledger that there's no end in sight for his side of the franchise. "I'm feeling very good about it," he said. "I love doing the show and we have a great team of writers ... I especially appreciate the security of having a steady job. As an actor it gives me the opportunity to do other things. Most actors have to look for a job constantly. I'm talking about qualified, very good actors."
While production for the sixth (suspenseful) season of CSI: NY kicks off in July, he's not going to slow down just yet. He's set to tour with his band, the Lt. Dan Band, to several locations in Korea and Okinawa next month. And then there's the war documentary he's co-produced, Brothers at War, which is going to be in limited release soon. "I think the movie has gotten great attention," he said. "It's made it into theaters and it's continuing to open around the country. It will qualify for Oscar consideration. That's terrific for a documentary to do that."
"It shows the great integrity of the vast majority of those serving in those war zones--this great group of people serving honorably, that people sometimes overlook when some 15 screw-ups get the media attention," he added.
Item three: One more character for... a Jennifer Lopez look-a-like?
