Laurence Fishburne surprisingly joined CSI when William Petersen left in 2008, but now he has opted not to renew his contract to star in the series. Apparently the actor is now expected to return to feature films full time again. Someone on the inside told Deadline, “Nobody expected him to be on the show for 7 years, it’s Laurence Fishburne.” Now the question will be who ends up replacing the actor on the series which is moving from its Thursday 9/8c timeslot to Wednesdays at 10/9c in the fall. As for Fishburne, he next appears in Steven Soderbergh’s thriller Contagion. Any suggestions as to who should replace Fishburne on the series?

  1. It would be nice to see Enrique Murciano from “Without a Trace” even Anthony LaPaglia from Without Trace reprising his role when
    the two series did a show together or “Danny Pino” from Cold Case series.

  2. Director Ewing Miles Brown says Sam Botta has lost 74 lbs (now 150 lbs.) for Movie Tech Studios pre-production of “Live Fearless” Sam Botta Hosts the upcoming reality TV show. :) in Pre-Production now with guests like Betty White, who says “Appreciate life while it’s happening!” Also “get over it” (referring to aging) and “I’m swimming as fast as I can” in reference to her work.
