William Petersen & Wife in Cannes
Here are some photos of William Petersen, who plyed CSI: Vegas’ Gil Grissom for over 8 seasons. He and his wife were photographed when they attended the International Digital Emmys at MIPTV. MIPTV is the world’s largest audiovisual entertainment trade show and was held in Cannes.
I think it’s cool that he seems to have stopped coloring his hair as I’m sure he was told to do for the character. He looks terrific no matter what. But I’m sure he’s having fun now that the long production days are behind him. I’m happy for him, even though I miss him on the show.

William Petersen Honored With a Star on the Walk of Fame
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!

CSI: Vegas Episode 9.10 - “One to Go” Spoiler Clip
January 15, 2009 by Lynn
Here’s a sneak peek at one of the touching scenes from tonight’s episode of CSI: Vegas. If this is any indication of how emotional it’s going to be, get the tissues ready!
In this scene, Grissom explains a bit to Nick about forensic astronomy (very cool concept!) and then Nick tells him how he values all the things he’s learned from Grissom. It’s a great scene where they both seem to get emotional, but just like macho guys often do, they try to pretend it doesn’t.
William Petersen Talks About Leaving the Show
January 15, 2009 by Lynn
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!)
CSI: Vegas - Taylor Swift to Guest, and More

TV Guide just published an interesting article about some of the ways that CSI: Vegas will change without William Petersen in front of the camera. Of course, executive director Carol Mendelsohn has promised that William Petersen will still appear, in a future episode.
“Grissom will come back in an organic way, to visit or be on a case with the people that are his family,” she said.
Joked Laurence Fishburne: “Billy said he would be back to make sure I didn’t burn the joint down.”
We also learn that Fishburne’s character on the show was previously supposed to have a genetic anomaly that is common among serial killers, but that plan has changed:
“Very early research on the character had indicated that there was a syndrome that was sort of more prevalent in serial killers,” ececutive producer Naren Shankar said. “That turned out not to be the case.”
That’s a shame, actually. I would have enjoyed seeing such a great actor as Fishburne take on such a personal delimma on the show…
It’s also been announced that singer Taylor Swift will be a guest star on a future episode. She’s never acted before, so it’ll be intersting to see how she does in this new arena. According to reports, she’ll play the teenage daughter of parents who own a hotel.
