Upcoming CSI: Crime Scene Investigation<\/i> guest star Marlee Matlin<\/b> shares details about her character and which city should get a CSI<\/i> spinoff. (Spoilers after the jump!)<\/p>\n
\nAs CSI Files previously reported<\/a>, Matlin will star alongside Phyllis Frelich<\/b> as a professor at a college for the deaf. Frelich will play former CSI<\/i> head honcho Gil Grissom’s (William Petersen<\/b>) mother, Betty Grissom. Matlin’s character, Julia, dated Gil in the past. Tensions rise between Betty and her daughter-in-law, Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox<\/b>), because she would have preferred for her son to marry Julia. “She adores me better, I know that,” Matlin told Zap2It. “I just had to say that.”<\/p>\n \nMatlin’s episode, which is tentatively scheduled to air February 3, marks the actress’s second appearance in the CSI<\/i> franchise—she previously guest-starred on CSI: New York<\/i> during season three’s “Silent Night”<\/a>. When asked whether or not she would like to return to CSI<\/i> for another episode, Matlin suggested that she could headline her own CSI<\/i> spinoff. “I’m making the announcement that I think there should be CSI: Chicago<\/i>,” she said. “I want it badly, and I’m dead serious about it.”<\/p>\n \nThe actress added that she could portray a lip-reader on the series, but she knows it would not be feasible to play a deaf police officer. “It’d be awesome, but not realistic. I know it’s just television, but it wouldn’t be real. I could be a former cop. I don’t know,” Matlin said. “I’ll let [CSI<\/i> executive producer] Carol<\/b> [Mendelsohn<\/b>] figure it out.” Upcoming CSI: Crime Scene Investigation guest star Marlee Matlin shares details about her character and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2906],"tags":[2932,2990,2944],"class_list":["post-12913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-lv","tag-fox","tag-guest-stars","tag-petersen"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"CSI<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12913"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12916,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12913\/revisions\/12916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
