Happy Birthday, Eric!

Eric Szmanda got plenty of attention from CSI fans while he was in Monaco last week. Between interviews and photo ops for CSI: Vegas, he looks like he got to sign a lot of autographs too.

Eric Szmanda was at the Monte Carlo TV Festival in Monaco. He was there to help promote CSI: Vegas to the international audience. Each year, they give different actors from the series a chance to go to the festival and represent the show.
I’m not a fan of the vesty-jackety-thing he’s wearing in these shots. What’s your opinion?

Check out how sharp Eric Szmanda looked at the closing ceremoonies of the Monte Carlo TV Festival last week. We hardly ever get to see him really dressed up. I think he cleans up very nicely!!

There were stars from all three of the CSI series at the Monte Carlo TV Festival last week. Hill Harper was there representing CSI: NY, Eric Szmanda was there for CSI: Vegas and Emily Procter was there for CSI: Miami.
Here are photos of all three of them posing with the prince of Monaco:

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.16 – Turn, Turn, Turn
Air Date: March 5, 2009
It looks like this week, hottie Gearge Eads will be the focus of the case. I think he is terrific and look forward to him being highlighted more in this episode. It’s featuring also guest star Taylor Swift in her acting debut. She’ll play the daughter of the proprietors of a seedy motel. Apparently, the place has been the scene of three murders over a period of only a year…

Episode 9.15 – Kill Me If You Can
Air Date: February 26, 2009
These are always interesting episodes, when they start with what seems to be three different cases, but later realize they are all connected. As far as I can tell, no show anywhere does this as well as CSI: Vegas. The team heads to separate crime scenes and ends up having to put their heads together to solve them all. I’m really looking forward to this one.

Episode 9.14 – Miscarriage Of Justice
Air Date: February 19. 2009
Personally, I am a huge fan of Laurence Fishburne and have been for years. So it probably comes as no surprise to you that I like the fact that the Langston character is getting to be a part of every episode of CSI: Vegas these days. Fishburne is perfect for the part he’s playing and brings his own touch to the show. It looks like he’ll be pretty busy in this episode where new evidence causes the team to head back to the lab to reopen a case. I love it!

On Tuesday, William Petersen, aka Gil Grissom was honored with his own star on the Walk of Fame. For those of you who want to see it, it’s located in front of Musso’s & Franks Restaurant in Los Angeles.
And nearly all of his fellow CSI: Vegas co-stars were there to celebrate the occasion with him. I don’t see Lauren Lee Smith, Wallace Langham, Paul Guilfoyle or Gary Dourdan, But Robert David Hall, David Berman, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Marg Helgenberger and Archie Kao all were there.
Here are some cute photos of them at the …read more

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.12 – Disarmed and Dangerous
Air Date: January 29, 2009
The CSIs always get especially serious when they are on the trail of a cop-killer. And an FBI agent is the same as a cop in most people’s eyes. This one could get pretty intense! Sounds great!
