However, he limited his screentime in the episode so he wouldn&#8217;t be overwhelmed. &#8220;I knew that I was taking on this new challenge, and there are a tremendous number of responsibilities that go along with directing,&#8221; the actor told <i>CBS Watch<\/i>. &#8220;The director has to be on top of every detail of everything that goes on, every minute of the day. I didn&#8217;t want to bite off more than I could chew, so I just sprinkled myself in the episode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLeading man <b>David Caruso<\/b> (Horatio Caine) was a great resource for Rodriguez during the whole process. &#8220;He had some great ideas and would make suggestions, and then we would build on them together,&#8221; Rodriguez explained. &#8220;I was happy to take all of his years of film experience and put them to work. And watching [Caruso] from behind the camera gave me an even greater appreciation for what he does.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nThe original article can be found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/originals\/watch_magazine\/article\/?id=59134\">CBS.com<\/a>.
