My contact at TV Guide just sent the tip about this interview that A.J. Buckley, aka Adam the lab rat on CSI: NY, did with them. If you’re like me, you are on pins and nedles, waiting to find out which of the CSI: NY characters will be killed off in the season finale that’s coming up. Thank goodness they asked him about it, or I might have been upset.

But surprisingly, he says that the cast is still completely in the dark about who it’s going to be. They won’t even find out their own fate until the scripts for the finale are handed out. (And you know I’ll be snooping everywhere for info about it and will share it as soon as there is any…)

A.J. also talked about his character’s development and about a potential romantic chemistry between Adam and Stella! Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

TVGuide.com: Thank goodness for Adam Ross’ street hockey hobby. It sure put him in the right place at the right time a few weeks ago.
A.J. Buckley: Isn’t it crazy how that happens? It felt great just to get out of the lab, but then to also get such great material to work with, and the explosion, and doing my own stunt…. I’ve really been excited with where they’ve taken Adam this year. They’re sort of peeling the layers back.

TVGuide.com: Will we learn more about Adam this season?
Buckley: Honestly, every time I read a script, he gets a bit more defined. He’s coming into his own. He’s going from being that nervous, wide-eyed guy to asserting him as an actual CSI team member.

TVGuide.com: [CSI: NY exec producer] Peter Lenkov recently told us that you and Melina Kanakaredes (Stella) “play nice together.”
Buckley: We do. Melina is always fun to work with. They keep writing this thing where there is, like, a tension between us, and I guess it all started with some look I once shot at her. I’m like, “OK, I’ll take it!”

TVGuide.com: A couple of fans seem to want an Adam-Stella hook-up.
Buckley: Adam needs some love. He had a girl at the beginning of Season 4, and now…. He works too hard, and he needs some feminine attention.

TVGuide.com: Does Adam have a take on the Danny-Lindsay baby situation?
Buckley: Adam’s sort of childlike anyway about anything, so he’s very excited — and probably nervous for them, as well.

TVGuide.com: Might Adam be made an honorary godfather?
Buckley: I am not, but there is an honorary. I can’t tell you who, though!
[Lynn: My money's on Mac...]

TVGuide.com: Speaking of things you can’t talk about, let’s discuss the season-finale death that reportedly will “forever change” CSI: NY….
Buckley: Literally, when I found out that something was going down, I didn’t sleep that night. The god’s honest truth is that none of us know [who is being killed off]. We have no idea.

TVGuide.com: You’re saying that at this moment [March 20], nobody on the cast knows who’s dying?
Buckley: Not one person. We have all been buzzing on the set, “Who is getting killed?” It’s created so much anxiety! It could be any one of us. I’m terrified to open up the [season finale] script when we get it in a couple weeks. This is such a family, it will be devastating to see anybody go. No joke, I will cry, I’ll be so bummed.

Be sure to go read the entire interview here.

On November 1, the cast of CSI: NY held a party at the Edison Hotel to celebrate their 100th episode. They all looked like they had a great time and there’s even a photo of Anna Belknap showing her baby bump!

Recently, CSI: NY’s AJ Buckley sat down to talk to Madison Michelle from Hollywood 411. They chatted about his childhood dyslexia and he practiced a few of his big scientific CSI words for her and discusses his appreciation for great roles.

CSI: NY - Episode 5.02: Page Turner
Original Air Date: September 24, 2008

At the Maroon 5 concert in the park, a fight in the excited crowd becomes a small riot. The police use soft rounds to take down the fighters. Eliza Carpenter, a college student fleeing the action, collapses and dies, right in front of a city bus. She appears to have suffered a blow to the trachea, probably from a stray riot control soft round. The woman has a lot of face and body paint.

Listening to Mac and Stella assess what might have killed Carpenter, Don seems disturbed that the police may end up taking the blame. They were just doing their job.

Sid, examining the victim’s body, discovers signs of radiation poisoning, marks on her skin beneath the paint, and hair loss. Measuring high levels of radiation on the body, he shuts down the exam room. It isn’t airborne, though, likely transdermal…from the paint. Though Mac and Stella weren’t likely exposed enough to worry, Sid collapses. The CDC rushes in to contain the body and Sid.

Adam matches the writing…shriiimping…on the victim to the graffiti of Kenneth Bamford, aka KA-BLAM. Stella and Danny visit KA-BLAM. They find no signs of radiation, and ask him about his contact with the victim. He remembers her, but not that she complained of any discomfort or pain.

Episode 5.01: Veritas
Original Air Date: September 24, 2008

Stella is in one of the choppers, as the force searches for Mac and “Joe”, his kidnapper. She receives a call with a tip that the car may be near or on the George Washington Bridge (GWB), headed for Fort Lee, NJ. Mac, however, pops up, on screen, in the river. He makes his way to the bank, and into the brush in the Jersey City side. He flags down a car, and borrows the scared driver’s phone to call Stella.

Divers pull a body from the Hudson. It’s Derek James, the suspect in the shooting of the bank manager and his wife, not “Joe”.

They believe “Joe” is at large, but New Jersey police will only allow them to take crime scene photos. They won’t release the body or the vehicle, or agree to a joint investigation. Stella takes photos, including those of a yellow flower barette in the back seat, bullet holes in the front passenger window, red paint on the bumper; as well as 3D images of tire tracks around the scene. Adam goes to work on the data.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist the headline. When you take a look at this fun photo taken of CSI: NY’s AJ Buckley as he posed with the Monarchy Collection display during the HBO Luxury Lounge in honor of the 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards yesterday, it just seemed like the obvious caption.

Here are several photos of him at the event:

It seems that CSI: NY’s newest lab rat is a football fan. I found these photos of A.J. Buckley that were taken as he arrived at the Madden NFL 09 premiere party at STK on August 7 in Los Angeles. Why did I only recently notice how good-looking this man is?
