Sad times are to dawn for TV-viewers and for fans of CSI. Very soon William Petersen will resign from playing charismatic Gil Grissom . The franchise will lose its strongest lead. While CSI-fans only have good things to say about William Petersen, the tone becomes entirely different when Icon of Idiocy David Caruso's name is being brought up:
......I don't compare Petersen to Caruso - Caruso is just a joke - Petersen is an actor and was before CSI, he's been in many movies and theatre. This is NOTHING like what "Sunglasses" did; Caruso's leaving NYPD blue was all about money and ego and almost killed his career. William Peterson is no David Caruso. I can not believe people even put them in the same sentence. The first difference is I can actually watch William Petersen and CSI. As much as I love camp I have finally stopped watching CSI Miami.
William Petersen is in that rare class of actor who I would watch read the phone book, the same can not be said for David Caruso .
I like both CSI Las Vegas and New York, because they are both technical, mysteries, thillers, and unlike CSI Miami, it is not about one charcter.(i.e.- Davey Boy "Caruso") They have a good mixed cast, and there is none of this drama queen BS that I associate with CSI Miami. And he doesn't stand with his body facing off camera to the left, and staring at the camera, like Caruso. And he has dialoge longer than the 3 or 4 words Caruso usually says.
David Caruso is a self-absorbed egomaniac, who thought he was great enough for movie stardom, like Tommy Lee Jones, Harrison Ford and others, but the fool wasn't even close, as history has shown.....
WE COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER.
