Hello World!
Casting for CSI: New York is probably about to begin, if it hasn't begun already. I've seen buzz around the internet--just who will these two leads be?
My guess (and it's probably a fairly safe one) is that one lead will be male, the other female. I also assume the man will take center stage--like William Petersen does on CSI: Crime Scene Investigations, David Caruso on CSI: Miami, Dennis Franz on NYPD Blue, and Vincent D'Onofrio on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. All the men are strong leads, charismatic and intriguing in each in his own way. So who can carry CSI: New York in a similar manner?
How about Kyle Secor of the late, excellent Homicide: Life on the Street. Secor's character, Tim Bayliss, began as an eager young detective and gradually grew into a man of quiet, steely determination, willing to face his demons (which included sexual abuse as a child at the hands of an older relative) and even cross the line in the name of justice. Secor and fellow castmate Andre Braugher stood out among a stellar cast. Braugher is currently on Hack, but here's hoping Secor is available. For those who missed him in Homicide, he recently appeared in the CSI episode "Butterflied" as a committed, intelligent surgeon. Secor would be the perfect lead for CSI: New York.
And who could take the role of the leading lady? My suggestion would be for CSI: New York to take a page from Law & Order and snatch one of Angel's notable guest stars. Law & Order added Elisabeth Rohm a few years back; CSI: New York would do well to consider Alexa Davalos. Davalos played Gwen Raiden, a young woman who possessed the power to manipulate electricity, a power that allowed her great freedom, but also kept her isolated from other people, since she couldn't touch another human being without possibly killing them. In just a few episodes, Davalos showed an impressive range and a knack for brining a spunky, intelligent, strong character to life. Angel's loss could be CSI: New York's gain.

Tonight, CBS will show a brand new episode of CSI: Miami entitled "Blood Moon". Here is TV Guide's description of the episode:
A cigarmaker is found in his store tied up, beaten, mutilated, and murdered with a chaveta, a cigar-making tool featuring a rounded blade. The investigation leads Horatio to a group that helps Cuban refugees. Across town, a 25-year-old man is gunned down while withdrawing money from an ATM, but the motive doesn't appear to be robbery since the cash he withdrew is left behind.
On Thursday, CBS will air CSI: Crime Scene Investigations new episode "Suckers". Here is TV Guide's synopsis of the episode:
Grissom investigates a twist-filled case in which a priceless 17th-century Japanese samurai sword is stolen from a Vegas hotel. In the northern part of the city, Catherine and Warrick probe the death of a woman who appears to have been bitten by a vampire and her blood consumed by her attacker.
