CSI: Miami – Omar Miller Talks About His New Role

Lynn — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:58:01 +0000

I was happy to see Omar Miller join the cast of CSI: Miami because I’ve really enjoyed his work in other shows and films. He brought a wonderful sense of humor to a show I loved last season that was canceled, Eleventh Hour. Now, he’s going to bring his gift to CSI: Miami fans. That’s great news for us!

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

CSI: NY’s A.J. Buckley Talks About the Finale and Who Might Be Killed

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.

Emily Procter at the Grammy Awards

Lynn — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:38:33 +0000

Last night was the annual Grammy Award Show and CSI: Miami’s own Emily Procter introduced the Jonas Brothers. In this clip of her being interviewed on the red carpet, she tells about how her nieces and nephews think she’s a pretty cool aunt because she got to meet the Jonas Brothers. She also talked about the dress she wore. Apparently it was designed from someone with less “Zone 2″. Here’s the clip:

CSI: Miami Stars Talk to ET About Tonight’s Episode

Lynn — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 20:23:44 +0000

Episode 7.14 – Smoke Gets In Your CSIs
Air Date: February 2, 2009

I love this clip! In it, David Caruso (Horatio), Emily Procter (Calleigh) and Khandi Alexander (Alexx) all tell ET about tonight’s episode.

Emily talks about how she has wanted a plot line like this for Calleigh since the beginning of the show and how she actually fell asleep during the filming of a scene. Khandi talks about how she comes to get involved in the case and how she will work to try to save Calleigh. And, of course David tells about how the cast is thrilled to have Khandi back for an episode.

I think I speak for most of us CSI: Miami fans when I say that we’re thrilled too!!

William Petersen Talks About Leaving the Show

Lynn — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:44:03 +0000

CBS just relased this little clip of William Petersen talking about what it’s like to leave the show after 8 and a half years. He says that all the things Grissom is going to go through on screen tonight are the same things he’s going through in real life. Grissom is leaving the people and the job he’s grown to love, and so is Petersen. It really seems to be bitter sweet for him. And it make me wonder why he’s leaving the show if he loves it so much…

Tonight is Grissom’s last episode as a regular CSI: Vegas cast member. If you are like me, you’ll need to have a box of tissues handy for the show. (I’m such a sap!)

Megalyn Echikunwoke Interview

Lynn — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:35:57 +0000

Here’s a new interview where Megalyn Echikunwoke talked to the folks at TV Water Cooler about how she researched to play CSI: Miami’s new coroner. I thought it was a bit disturbing to find out that the LA County coroner’s office has a gift shop…EEWWW! But the interview is good. She tells us that she’s disappointed that she won’t have any scenes with Diddy when he guest stars on the show later this season, but she does a fantastic impression of David Caruso:

Lauren Lee Smith Talks About Her New CSI Role

Lynn — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:44:26 +0000

Now that we’ve had a chance to see Lauren Lee Smith in action as CSI Riley Adams, we know that she brings a new dynamic to an already established team. She comes to the cast as a fresh face and a whole new, quirky character. Some people say that they don’t like the character, and a lot of us do. But no matter which side of the issue we fall on, I think this interview with Lauren Lee Smith might offer a bit more insight into the character and what she is intended to do as part of the show.
