CSI Fanatic

So Gross from Rex

by Milo Riano on May 1st, 2006

There were times I would eat while watching CSI and unfortunately on some occasions I was met with gross scenes that destroyed my appetite. I begin to wander how actors feel since they are actually in close contact on gross man made props and also because they are not forensic trained folks in real life.

Rex Linn, has this to say:

”His head is bloody and there’s maggots all over his face and mouth — real maggots — and I don’t know what it was, but I just couldn’t get my lines out,” Linn recalls, not at all fondly. ‘All I had to do was lean over and say, `Looks like an exit wound,’ but every time, I’d start laughing. After a while, David asked me, ‘Is there something about maggots you find funny?’ The corpse guy, who was a real actor, wasn’t digging it too much.”

One good thing about this show aside from the gross feeling is that these actors get to learn a lot while shooting the show. They are exposed to science, mystery and problem solving activities all the time which to me is very exciting and educating.

Linn does admit to have learned a lot from the show despite these unpleasant moments.
