Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:45 pm
After a month of rumor and speculation, Laurence Fishburne has officially signed on to join the cast of CBS' "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
While not technically replacing exiting series star and executive producer William Petersen, Fishburne will make his debut on "CSI" in the season's ninth episode, an addition generally tied to Petersen's pending exit.
Fishburne's character is a former pathologist, now lecturing at colleges in criminalistics. As was previously reported, the character is an expert on criminal behavior, driven by the fact that he has several key genetic markers that show he has a tendency toward acts of violence himself.
