“CSI” is universally recognized as one of the most successful series of all time. The CBS drama was named the most-watched television drama in the world at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival six times (via Deadline). According to the LA Times, the series finale garnered an impressive 12.2. million total viewers and at its height it could attract over 30 million viewers per week. Aside from tuning in each week to watch the latest criminal case unravel, loyal fans returned to CBS to catch up with the series’ stars. The forensic investigators were the heart of the series and each had his own method of solving the complicated cases.
William Petersen’s character, Dr. Gil Grissom, possessed a high intelligence and rare ability to separate his emotions from his work. These characteristics made him a gifted agent and a fan favorite. While it was hard to say goodbye to Gil when “CSI” ended in 2015 (via Deadline), the former night shift supervisor is slated to the silver screen in the spinoff series “CSI: Vegas.” Though Petersen has been hard at work on the new series, a recent incident put a halt on his momentum (via People).
