AJ Buckley (Adam Ross) plays the resident lab tech on CSI: New York, but he admitted he wasn't very good at science growing up. "I'm like the poster child for dyslexia," he told Hollywood 411. He explained that he was hyperactive and had his head in the clouds during class. "Not that I wasn't into the school thing," he said, "I was just thinking about other things that were more exciting."
Being on CSI: NY requires Buckley to say long scientific words. "First I have a panic attack," he joked. "The biggest one still to date is methoxy-diisopropyltryptamine, but there's one in this episode that I'm doing now, I can't even say it. I've been working on it for the last three days." Buckley tried to practice the word and added, "I just broke into a sweat there. I got anxiety over these big words."
Buckley got to shadow director Rob Bailey during the creation of the season four finale, "Hostage". "That was actually a really cool episode to film," the actor explained. "Being part of the season finale from the embryonic stage of seeing the story be brought to each department and all the actors and the make-up and the casting and being part of that, and then actually seeing the finished product, was a really cool experience."
New York just filmed its one-hundredth episode, and Buckley said it was "a really cool thing" to be part of the show and the CSI franchise. "It's crazy too once you travel abroad, you really can feel the size of the show," he said. "It's one thing in the states and stuff, but overseas--I was travelling this past summer and I was backpacking and I had a long beard and hair grown out," but fans still came up to him. "I didn't expect that," he added. When asked what most fans asked him, Buckley replied, "To say big words."
