(Minor spoilers and embedded video after the jump.)<\/p>\n<p>\n<!--more-->The first part of the crossover aired last night, November 9, when <I>CSI: Miami<\/i> invited Fishburne&#8217;s character to join their investigation during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/episodes\/miami\/season8\/bone_voyage.shtml\">&#8220;Bone Voyage&#8221;<\/a>. After working with Horatio Caine (<b>David Caruso<\/b>), Langston will travel to <i>CSI: New York<\/i> for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/episodes\/newyork\/season6\/hammer_down.shtml\">&#8220;Hammer Down&#8221;<\/a> this Wednesday, November 11, where he will work with Mac Taylor (<b>Gary Sinise<\/b>) and his team. Then it&#8217;s back to the Las Vegas Crime Lab for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/episodes\/csi\/season10\/the_lost_girls.shtml\">&#8220;The Lost Girls&#8221;<\/a> on Thursday, November 12. &#8220;I thought it was a natural thing to do,&#8221; Fishburne said of the crossover. &#8220;When you consider how long the shows have been on, how popular they are, how successful they&#8217;ve been, it seems almost kind of odd that they didn&#8217;t do it before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You can expect quite a ride,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It begins in Miami with them discovering a human body part that originated in Las Vegas, so my character comes to Miami to help them investigate. That body part leads to a human trafficking ring that then takes us up to New York.&#8221; Unfortunately, the trail goes cold in the Big Apple. &#8220;It kind of heats up again back in Las Vegas,&#8221; Fishburne added.<\/p>\n<p>\nFishburne enjoyed working with Sinise and Caruso. &#8220;It was great,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was nice to be reunited with David, and it was a joy to be able to work with Gary for the first time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nYou can watch the interview below:<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0' width='320' height='305' id='embeddedplayer'><param name='movie' value='http:\/\/gannett.a.mms.mavenapps.net\/mms\/rt\/1\/site\/gannett-kthv-3324-pub01-live\/current\/articleplayer\/singleclip\/client\/embedded\/embedded.swf'\/><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'\/><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'\/><param name='scale' value='noscale'\/><param name='salign' value='LT'\/><param name='bgcolor' value='#000000'\/><param name='wmode' value='window'\/><param name='FlashVars' value='playerId=articleplayer&#038;referralObject=1325337819&#038;referralPlaylistId=playlist&#038;adServerBasePath=http:\/\/gannett.gcion.com\/adrawdata\/.0\/5111.1\/506906\/0\/0\/header=yes;cc=2;cookie=info;alias=&#038;adPositionId=video_prestream&#038;adSiteId=video.todaysthv.com\/&#038;gpaperCode=gntbcstkthv&#038;marketName=Little Rock&#038;division=broadcast&#038;pageContentCategory=video&#038;pageContentSubcategory=articleplayer'\/><embed type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src='http:\/\/gannett.a.mms.mavenapps.net\/mms\/rt\/1\/site\/gannett-kthv-3324-pub01-live\/current\/articleplayer\/singleclip\/client\/embedded\/embedded.swf' id='embeddedplayer' pluginspage='http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer' menu='false' quality='high' play='false' name='articleplayer' height='305' width='320' allowFullScreen='true'  allowScriptAccess='always'  scale='noscale'  salign='LT'  bgcolor='#000000'  wmode='window'  flashvars='playerId=articleplayer&#038;referralObject=1325337819&#038;referralPlaylistId=playlist&#038;adServerBasePath=http:\/\/gannett.gcion.com\/adrawdata\/.0\/5111.1\/506906\/0\/0\/header=yes;cc=2;cookie=info;alias=&#038;adPositionId=video_prestream&#038;adSiteId=video.todaysthv.com\/&#038;gpaperCode=gntbcstkthv&#038;marketName=Little Rock&#038;division=broadcast&#038;pageContentCategory=video&#038;pageContentSubcategory=articleplayer'\/><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation&#8216;s leading man Laurence Fishburne (Dr Ray Langston) felt that doing a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2906,2907,2908],"tags":[2959,2984,2938,2925,2954],"class_list":["post-8183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-lv","category-csi-m","category-csi-ny","tag-caruso","tag-crossover","tag-fishburne","tag-sinise","tag-video"],"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":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-lv\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-m\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: Miami<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-ny\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: New York<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: New York","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8183","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=8183"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8183\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8184,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8183\/revisions\/8184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
