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 at the Monte Carlo TV Festival

Lynn — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:07:39 +0000

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!!

CSI: Vegas Episode 9.16 – “Turn, Turn, Turn” Spoiler & Press Release

Lynn — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 08:25:11 +0000

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…

Spoiler:
The CSI renaissance continues. In addition to the mesmerizing gravitas that comes with every word uttered by Laurence Fishburne, there seems to be something newly energetic happening with the show’s scriptwriting as well.

Country songbird Taylor Swift, with the estimable (and totally freakin’ fine) George Eads, is guesting in an upcoming ep wherein the CSIs look into “three separate murder investigations that all took place at the same establishment over the course of a year.” Taylor plays the teenage daughter of the (Bates?) motel owner. Intriguing, no? (FYI, the Taylor Swift ep airs March 5 at 9 p.m. on CBS.)

It seems that perhaps the show that reinvented the procedural is now reinventing itself…Are you liking the current iteration of CSI? Post in the comments. [Source: EW]

Lynn — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:03:03 +0000

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!

Lynn — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 04:09:26 +0000

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 event, including one where Petersen dusted the star for fingerprints! LOL!
