William Petersen Talks About �CSI��s Seventh Season

CSI star William Petersen recently shared some of his thoughts on Grissom�s office romance, the miniature killer and show guest stars Liev Schreiber and Roger Daltry.

On Grissom�s relationship with Sara (Jorja Fox), Petersen says, �We�ve been together for a while; it�s just that no one knew it. It�s an interesting thing to play and it�s somewhat fraught with danger. � It wouldn�t be good for Grissom as he�s a supervisor and it wouldn�t be good for Sara who�s a subordinate. They realize the conflict, which makes for interesting drama.�

The miniature killer engages all of Grissom�s sense. He is both a horrible criminal and a genius. This fascinates Grissom. �I had little soldiers when I was a kid and I used to stand them up all over the place and imagine entire worlds around them. My mother was fascinated by dollhouses. I think that is the part in us that is the child. Certainly, there is a part of this killer that remains in this child-like state,� says Petersen.

Petersen thought show guest star Roger Daltrey did a remarkable job. �There is a nice synchronicity to having Roger in the show considering what The Who has done for the CSI landscape. He had a tough job to do in a very short period of time,� Petersen remarked.

Of Liev Schreiber, who stepped in for Petersen during his sabbatical, Petersen says, �I was hoping that we could alternate. I�d go do some theater and he�d do CSI and vice versa. I don�t think it�s going to work out like that. I�m thrilled that he [was] here because it helps the show.�
