CSI Fanatic

Hill Harper is Much More Than Meets the Eye

by Lynn on May 4th, 2007

Even though Hill Harper did not top the recent hottest CSI guys poll, I know he’s a very hot guy!! ;-)

But, even better, he’s more than that! Hill plays Dr. Sheldon Hawkes on CSI: NY, but did you know that he’s a doctor in real life? He went to Harvard and has two graduate degrees, one is a Juris Doctorate. So, technically, he’s Dr. Hill Harper. NOW does he seem even sexier, ladies? ;-)

And to top that off, one of his pals from his time at Harvard is none other than Senator Barak Obama. They were Harvard classmates at Harvard and used to study together and play basketball.

Prior to joining the cast of CSI, Hill played a doctor on the short-running TV drama, City of Angels. So this isn’t his first TV doctor gig.

He’s also the son of two doctors as well. His father was a psychiatrist and his mother was one of the first practicing African-American anesthesiologists in the US. So he says that when he wants to know about a word in the script that he doesn’t understand, he calls his Mom and asks her to tell him how to pronounce it and what it means.

All of this, and he’s also a best-selling writer! I reported recently about his first book hitting the New York Times bestsellers’ list and winning two awards. It’s true. The man is a true Renaissance man!

Personally, I think Hill Harper is a very cool, sexy and interesting guy. It’s time everybody got to realize that. And we are truly fortunate to have him as a part of one of our favorite shows, CSI.

Keep up the fabulous work, Hill!! :-)
