Here&#8217;s a quote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>What was it like to inhabit this character again?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWhen I left the show midway through season 12, I did not miss Catherine Willows.

It was great to be home. We&#8217;ve seen each other through the years, but it was nice to go back and act together as these characters because we like each other&#8217;s characters. I like Catherine and Sara and Ecklie and Brass. I like them as characters, and I like Grissom. It was nice to be him again and it was nice to be him with them. It was nostalgic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nZuiker did an interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2015\/tv\/news\/csi-finale-anthony-zuiker-cbs-william-petersen-1201603451\/\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a> about his journey and the end of <I>CSI<\/i>.

This is a case that paralyzes Vegas. One of the big burning questions of the finale is where (Grissom\u2019s) heart will lie.

Here&#8217;s a comment from Zuiker himself:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They really took me in as sort of a person who really wanted to get it right and was fascinated by their job.

Being a part of a show that becomes a cultural phenomenon, that doesn&#8217;t happen very often. The phrase &#8220;the CSI effect&#8221; was coined because of the show, and just the amount of kids who were inspired to become criminologists \u2014 that&#8217;s certainly an impact I wouldn&#8217;t have anticipated when I began the show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nSeveral members of the cast and crew told <a href=\"http:\/\/zap2it.com\/2015\/09\/csi-finale-cast-creator-recall-grossest-props-real-maggots\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zap2It<\/a> about the grossest props that have appeared on <I>CSI<\/i> over the years. Here&#8217;s a quote from <b>Jon Wellner<\/b> (Henry Andrews):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I had to grind up maggots in one episode to see what they had ingested, so all day long I was just grinding up maggots and I finally said to the props department, &#8216;What are we using for maggots?&#8217; And they said, &#8216;Maggots,&#8217; That&#8217;s when I was like, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t ask until the end of the day,&#8217; because that would have grossed me out.

I think our show has done a really good job of deterring people from committing crimes. It&#8217;s one of the many positive things our show has contributed, as well as I think our show has taught jury members to be a little bit more critical of prosecutions and I know, because there are widely publicized cases today where new evidence is admitted to court that wasn\u2019t available 15-20 years ago, that exonerated innocent people released from the death penalty and that&#8217;s one of the many things I think our show has had an effect on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nPetersen explained to <a href=\"http:\/\/zap2it.com\/2015\/09\/manhunter-made-william-petersen-think-csi-would-work\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zap2It<\/a> that his 1986 film <i>Manhunter<\/i> affected his decision to do <I>CSI<\/i>. &#8220;You know, it was &#8216;Manhunter&#8217; that made me think &#8216;CSI&#8217; would work,&#8221; he said, &#8220;because we worked with the FBI lab on that. That was some of the cool stuff in &#8216;Manhunter,&#8217; the stuff we did with the lab in terms of finding the guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe cast and Zuiker spoke to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people.com\/article\/csi-series-finale-cast-members-talk-justin-bieber-taylor-swift\" target=\"_blank\">People<\/a> about the show, and Zuiker promised the finale would provide &#8220;a lot of tears, a lot of warmth and satisfaction of our journey.&#8221; He also said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve been afforded to do things and have experiences, work with great people and actors I would have never had the chance to without the success of <i>CSI<\/i>. We&#8217;ve traveled the world together, we&#8217;ve made great motion pictures together.
