Jorja Fox Would Like To Write An Episode Of 'CSI'

Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) recently talked to The Star about one of her wishes for season 6: to be allowed to write an episode of CSI.

"I was almost going to get to write a script in Season Four. And then I ended up doing a play with my theatre company all year," the actress told the Malaysian magazine. "So I was the one who slacked on that opportunity. Next year, maybe."

Fox's script may not contain as much forensic terminology as a regular script, which, according to co-star Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown), isn't always easy to incorporate into an act. "We get a script and sometimes it looks like a biology book that has been copied over and given to us. And we have to put some life into it," Dourdan said. "People don’t realize that when we are up at the awards shows against character-driven shows like Six Feet Under and The Sopranos."

Though the Biology lessons can be a challenge, actor George Eads (Nick Stokes) revealed that working with friends makes things easier. "[We're] a close-knit group. It’s what gives the show a little staying power. If you really like working together then you can do good work."

The magazine also interviewed the rest of the cast sans William Petersen (Gil Grissom). To read the additional snippets, visit the Star Online.
