(Minor spoilers after the jump.)<\/p>\n<p>\n<!--more--><I>New York<\/i> has been &#8220;business as usual&#8221; despite the move to Friday nights, Buckley told CTV. &#8220;We turn it up a notch with <b>Sela<\/b> [<b>Ward<\/b>, Jo Danville] joining, but to be honest, when I first heard we were moving, I was scared,&#8221; Buckley said. &#8220;Is this the end of <i>CSI<\/i>, is the franchise dying? After talking with producers and the studio, the way the world is right now, the economy, people are home Friday nights. They want to reinvent Friday nights. I think people will follow it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBuckley added that Ward&#8217;s addition to the cast &#8220;brings a new dynamic to the show.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;Besides being a fantastic person, the writers found a great voice for her. My character is out of the lab, the third episode of the season, it&#8217;s awesome for Adam. He&#8217;s outside, kicking ass. It&#8217;s a whole side to Adam we&#8217;ve never seen before. It&#8217;s another layer you pull back and think, &#8216;Oh cool.&#8217; I love how they write this character. It&#8217;s always fun being the funny guy on such a dark set.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actor loves his job on <I>CSI: NY<\/i>, but he also likes taking the chance to get out and work on other projects. &#8220;<i>CSI<\/i> has given me so much opportunity, and allowed me on so many different levels to work in new avenues,&#8221; Buckley explained. &#8220;I could relax and sit back, but I want to take it to the next level or build my confidence.&#8221; He added, &#8220;For me, it&#8217;s a business, and you have to work hard, and there&#8217;s so much more out there I want to do and people I want to work with. It&#8217;s never ending.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBuckley isn&#8217;t worried that his other roles will distract him from <I>New York<\/i>. &#8220;No, in a sense the showrunners have always believed in my and my directing and writing, they let me shadow them, and that sort of stuff,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;For some people maybe, but the busier I am, the happier I am. It&#8217;s the joy of having ADD, I&#8217;m an incredible multi-tasker. It&#8217;s an incredible opportunity and I don&#8217;t want to see it go. I&#8217;m having so much fun, there&#8217;s nothing I could complain about. I enjoy working my ass off.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/shows.ctv.ca\/FlashPoint\/article\/CSI-NY-star-AJ-Buckley-on-his-shows-new-night-and-Flashpoint#c_0\">CTV<\/a>.
