Well, it’s the hiatus between shooting the seasons of CSI: Vegas and the show’s stars have a lot going on. Even though they are not shooting CSI, they are often still working on other projects.

Also, when Laurence Fishburne was announced as a new cast member for the show, so many of us were incredibly excited because we’ve seen him in many, many movies before and know that he’s a mega-star. If you wonder what else he’s been in, be sure to check him out on IMDb sometime. But the things he has in the works right now are amazing, with a prime-time series too.

Here are all the films that CSI cast members have in the works, I know you’ll want to keep an eye out for them.

In this week’s season premiere of CSI: Vegas, the episode ended with a very emotional tribute to Warrick Brown…at his funeral. In this clip, we get to see a montage of scenes with Warrick and the tear-jerking eulogy delivered by Gil Grissom…

CSI: Vegas - Episode9.01 For Warrick
Air Date: October 09, 2008

The season begins with Grissom finding Warrick bleeding and shot in the alley. In the heart-rending way you’d expect, Warrick dies as Grissom holds him, greiving over the loss of his dear friend.

McKeen tells Brass that he came to the diner to tell Warrick that he could keep his job. He says he heard shots, and ran toward the alley where he found Warrick, bleeding in his car. He said he also saw a white male running down the alley. He said the man got into a car, and he remembered part of the plate number. Brass recognizes the car he described as Pritchard’s vehicle.

CSI: Vegas fans have been waiting (and even mourning) since the season 8 finale, when Warrick Brown was shot, to find out his fate. We know that Gary Dourdan is leaving the cast, but we still don’t know if that means he is going to live or die.

CBS Just released a spoiler/teaser video clip for tomorrow night’s season 9 premiere. In it, the cast members all talk about what it was like to film both the S8 finale and the S9 premiere. Apparently, they found it very emotional. After all, they’ve been a “family”, of sorts for over 8 years. It really must be hard to act out the loss of one of their own.

Check out this clip. I really enjoyed when Marg Helgenberger says that it was good to have Jorja Fox back for the episode because there had been an “overabundance of testosterone on the set.”

To round out the review sessions, here’s how the eighth season of CSI: Vegas ended. It was tough to watch Warrick get shot in the final scenes, and I’m sure we have more tough scenes to watch in the season 9 premiere.

This is going to be an emotional premiere episode!

While grabbing the photos of Gary Dourdan on the set of his new movie Fire, I found this one of what is labeled to be “his girlfriend.” There’s no mention of her name, but she’s pretty. The other actor in the photo is German actor Ken Duken. It seems that Gary’s life is going pretty well these days!

I found some photos of Gary Dourdan taken on the set of his new movie, Fire. The movie is being shot in Berlin, Germany and I’ll let you know more about it as details are released. The set of the movie was at the Fasanenstrases.

I’m glad he’s got other projects underway. For one thing, his career is doing well, and another is that we’ll get to see him in other things. It’s great news!

CSI: Vegas - Episode 9.01 For Warrick
Air Date: October 9, 2008

We have to wait until the season 9 premiere of CSI: Vegas to find out if Warrick lives or dies on CSI: Vegas. We do know that Sara (Jorja Fox) will be back for this episode, but we don’t know if it’s for his hospital vigil, his funeral, or his recovery. We do know that Gary Dourdan is leaving the show, but that’s all we’ve known. But today, CBS released another teeny, tiny tidbit of information about the premiere. Click on “Read More” for the scoop.

I just found this great photo of Gary Dourdan from CSI: Vegas. It was taken in Rome when he was there for the opening day party of the RomaFictionFest on July 2. He was looking good, but I’m still having trouble dealing witht the fact that he’s leaving CSI!!!

Here’s the trailer for Batman: Gotham Knight, available now on DVD. Gary Dourdan is the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman in this ground-breaking feature that takes the work of six separate directors and fuses them into one story of the evolution from Bruce Wayne, boy, to Batman, the dark knight. Check out the trailer.

Have you watched the film, yet? What do you think of it, and especially of Gary Dourdan’s performance?
