Associated Press: - "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" has solved the mystery of who will replace departing CBS series star William Petersen: It's Laurence Fishburne.
Fishburne, an Emmy and Tony winner, will be introduced in the ninth episode of the upcoming 10th season, the network told The Associated Press on Monday. He'll play a forensics scientist with a secret.
Fishburne is a "CSI" newcomer in more ways than one. Asked if he's a fan, he told a teleconference Monday that he was embarrassed to admit he'd never watched before he was approached by producers.
He was their top choice, said executive producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar, with a deeply intelligent approach to his work that matches the drama's spirit.
This is the first ongoing series role for the in-demand film and stage actor since, improbably enough, he played Cowboy Curtis on "Pee-wee's Playhouse" in the late 1980s. He's not stepping away from movies with "CSI," Fishburne said, but embarking on a "welcome change."

Maybe Laurence Fishburne is Liev Schrieber's twin. His funk soul brother as it were.

His secret is that he's the Candyman

Well, if he works nights, they probably won't be able to catch Wayne Newtown's show....

Danke Schoen... Darlin', Danke Schoen... I actually think Wayne Newton isn't playing Vegas any more. I think he might have moved to Branson.

...as the star of CSI- LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Cheers" star Ted Danson is joining TV forensic drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", replacing departing star Laurence Fishburne, broadcaster CBS said on Wednesday.
Danson, 63, will join the hit series in September, playing the new CSI supervisor for the graveyard shift when the show returns for its 12 season.
"You can create a new character on the page, but until the perfect actor comes along and breathes life into it, it's just words," said executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. "We're very excited Ted Danson came along."
The Emmy-award winning actor, best known for his role as skirt-chasing bar owner Sam Malone on the 1980s comedy "Cheers", will also keep his role on the HBO series "Bored to Death."

That's a shame. I liked Fishburne's character.
I have a problem seeing Danson doing anything serious. I mostly just know him as Sam Malone.
