Laurence Fishburne “CSI” Season 9
Veteran actor Laurence Fishburne has formally signed on to appear as a regular on the forthcoming ninth season of CBS’ forensic crime drama CSI. The Oscar-nominated star replaces actor William Petersen, who will depart the role of “Gil Grissom” sometime this season.
According to the network, Fishburne’s character is described as a college lecturer and former pathologist who focuses on criminals’ motivation.
“I am elated and delighted to be joining the cast of CSI,” he says. “I look forward to a wonderful collaboration with the creative and talented team of such a successful and distinguished show.”

Here in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lawrence Fishburne is not doing the show any favors by repeatedly mispronouncing our state’s name. That would not happen in real life without others around him correcting his error.
It is pronounced neh-VAD-uh (‘a’ as in dad).
