Both Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) and George Eads (Nick Stokes) were impressed with the miniature killer storyline.

"I think it makes for interesting television," Eads told RTL, talking about the meticulous nature of the miniature serial killer. He also praised "the fish-eye camera work that really gets down in there, in those miniatures so you really do see how detailed they are." Fox described the storyline as "odd" and "fascinating" and said that, in the beginning, "nobody's ever seen anything like it before and I think that everybody thinks it's an anomaly, you know, and it's not going to happen again." But it does happen again, and Eads pointed out another aspect of the storyline that he enjoyed. "I think it's interesting to watch [Gil] Grissom (William Petersen) really...get into the mind of [the serial killer] like that, I really like watching Billy do that. I'm a big fan of Billy's work anyway."

Eads also admires a man who guest starred in "Living Legend": Roger Daltrey, the lead singer of The Who. "I'm such a Roger Daltrey fan," Eads said. "I'm such a Who fan. I love seeing Robert act, it's fun." Fox has been a fan of The Who since she was a child. "Wow, that was huge, that was really huge," she said of Daltrey's appearance on the show. Fox also spoke about the choice of The Who's "Who Are You" as the theme song for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She remembered standing with Petersen and Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) when Petersen suggested the song. Fox thought it was a great idea, but she told Petersen that it was not likely. "'That's not going to happen, the Who doesn't do tv shows'," she told him. "And then lo and behold it happened, and it's done enormous things for the show just in terms of that one song, you know, people know that song and now when they hear it they think of us too."

The pair of actors also talked about the episode "Fannysmackin'" and the way the storyline affected Greg Sanders (Eric Szmanda). "Hearing that he got beat up by a bunch of guys who don't even have the guts to fight one-on-one, well that doesn't settle too well with Nick," Eads said. Nick would want to line all of the men up and take each of them on for messing with "one of his guys." Greg's situation, Fox said, can be traced back to a specific moment when he had to make a split second decision. "I think that everyone in life, at some point in our lives, have had that moment," she said. "The stakes might not have been as high as they were for Greg, or as life-threatening, but you know, you just tell somebody you had an affair or you don't, or you decide to walk out of a relationship or you don't, and then your entire life changes from this moment in time."

Fox also talked about her character's relationship with Grissom. She explained that she was given a paper when she first went to audition for the role of Sara. "I think the first sentence said 'love interest for Grissom'," she explained. The dynamic was explored on the show from the very beginning. "One thing's certain in episode one of season one: that the characters had some kind of history, it wasn't the first time they were meeting," she said. "There was a past there for them." The characters may have had a past, and the relationship might have been planned from day one, but the people involved with the show didn't want to rush it, especially when they realized that the show was going to last for several seasons. "You tell this story and then where do you go from there?" Fox asked. Wherever the relationship goes, Eads gave his opinion about the future of the show itself. "I hope the fans will stay with us," he said, "because I think there's some really great years ahead of us left if we can stay together."

The original video interviews can be watched on RTL.
