Recently, he sat down on Hollywood 411 to discuss his new role on the show. You can see his humor in the interview:

Tomorrow night is the season 10 premiere of CSI: Vegas and we know that Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) will be back for a few episodes. This is a clip showing us a few scenes from the episode, along with Jorja Fox, George Eads, Laurence Fishburne and Marg Helgenberger talking about what it’s like to be back at work and how it feels to have worked on the show for 10 years.

Personally, I can’t believe sometimes that it’s been on for 10 years already. I love the show so much, it always seems new in some way. Here’s what the cast thinks:

I was out listening to music and having a drink with friends last week in Las Vegas when we struck up a conversation with some women at the table next to us. One of them, it turns out is an undercover Las Vegas police officer! I just had to ask her to talk to me a bit about what it’s like for her to work there in the “city of sin.”

I’ll call her Fran, but it’s not her real name. She’s a petite, pretty woman, but with a handshake like a vice. It’s plain that in her case, looks are definitely deceiving. She’s smart & tough and I’m glad she’s on the side of the law.

Fran works in the undercover unit that tries to get young girls off the street and out of the psychological and physical clutches of their pimps. She told me that most of the young working girls ran away from bad home situations and fell prey to the “charms” of their pimp, who promises to protect them and whom they swear they love.

Fran spends her time trying to convince those girls that their pimp is out for no one but himself and that there is more for them elsewhere. Believe it or not, many of the girls are extremely difficult to convince. They’ve never known any better.

She says that the Vegas unit she works in sends the girls to Los Angeles to be a part of the Children of the Night Program.

Sometimes Fran dresses like the working girls so that she can gain their acceptance, so I don’t want to identify her at all, but it’s clear that she’s very passionate about the work she does. She knows that there are a lot of girls that won’t ever leave their pimp, but she keeps working to save the ones she can.

She’s married and her husband works in Las Vegas in the entertainment industry, so I know he comes into contact with some unsavory characters now and then too. But Fran is the super courageous woman I got the chance to talk to and I am in awe of her strength. She’s a true hero. She doesn’t want the spotlight. In fact, in her work, she can’t get public recognition. She is an unsung hero that saves young people from horrible situations, and perhaps worse every day.

I know she’s not in the CSI unit, but she’s someone that touched me and made me happy that there are such heroic people, ready to do what they can to save other people’s children. My hat’s off to Fran and to all of her counterparts everywhere that work to help others who don’t even know how to help themselves.

I was so impressed with Fran and the work she does that I just had to share it with you. I know I’ll watch crime dramas with a bit of a different attitude. I’ll watch with more respect for the undercover officers now that I’ve met Fran. I hope you might too.

What’s interesting is the fact that she wants her character, Calleigh, to start to deal with the fact that her father is an alcoholic. She says that she also wants to get to jump out of a building. Solving crimes is still very much a part of the show’s focus, but after seven seasons, it could be very good to see more depth in some of the regular characters.

In season 8, because of budget constraints, the show won’t be doing any on location shooting in Miami. She says they will also spend more time in the lab this season too. There’s also some talk of what she hopes to do in her career after CSI: Miami ends. It’s a very interesting clip.

In the mean time, Jonathan tells us that one of the team will go over to the “dark side” and start acting as a criminal…but for all the right reasons. He also gives us some reminders about Wolfe’s background as a gambling addict and tells us how that will play a part in the way the episode plays out. Jonathan’s fans will also be thrilled that he gives us the scoop about how he came to get on the show, way back in season 2. It’s a great clip!

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.
