'CSI' Actor Interview Round-Up

Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne), Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko), Eddie Cahill (Don Flack) and Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) all made the interview circuit this week to discuss their off-CSI likes.

Emily Procter talked to the Philadelphia Daily News about the season finale and why her character's love for guns has turned her into a semi-expert. "In the season finale, Calleigh is held at gunpoint by an unknown assailant and when they were putting the revolver to my head they were checking it off to the side and I said, 'Wait a minute, I want to check that revolver.' And I instantly took it apart and I thought, 'I can't believe I know how to do that.'"

Procter also got the chance to play the CSI: Miami board game, which she admitted, felt a lot like going to work. "What I would say about the board game that I thought was interesting is to play the game feels very similar to acting on the show. It's actually sort of the way that we process it," she said. "There's a lot of science in it and you get to pick the character on the show that you want to play and you travel through the game as that character picking up evidence along the way and the more evidence you collect the closer you get to solving the crime and the one who solves it first wins."

Procter's Miami cohort Adam Rodriguez spoke recently to Inside TV about his definition of romance. "My idea of a romantic time is when two people are focused on each other. That could be at dinner, in bed, in the midst of mayhem, whatever." Thanks to JustAdam.net for the heads up.

In addition, New York's Eddie Cahill sat down with the magazine Cosmopolitan about his idea of a perfect woman. "A strong value system, loyalty, and directness – a woman who isn't so concerned with being everybody's friend."

The actor also revealed he's New York accent is not as intense in real-life as Don Flack's. "I tend to beef it up a little. On Friends I was supposed to be from Ohio, and in one episode, I went to a basketball game with Joey and I had the hardest time saying hot "dog" instead of "dawg". I was really close to asking if we could change the word to frankfurter." Thanks to Charisma at the message boards for the scan.

And lastly, Jorja Fox appeared on last Thursday's edition of the syndicated entertainment magazine The Insider to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Iced." The program had given her a camcorder, using which she filmed her co-stars Paul Guilfoyle (Jim Brass), Eric Szmanda (Greg Sanders) and William Petersen (Gil Grissom) - the latter of whom eventually remarked, "Are you going to tape everything we say?" The segment also featured Fox showing off what was already her third over-sized Starbucks coffee of the day, her dogs, and the college campus in which the episode was filmed.
