The Canadian television show eTalk visited recently all three sets of CSI to talk to the actors about the forensic phenomenon.

The crew of the show was welcomed at the CSI set by all the actors, who agreed the real star of the show is the evidence. "It's really about the evidence," said William Petersen (Gil Grissom). "It's about making sure that the toothpick gets its close-up."

George Eads's character has been through the ringer in the past year, but the one thing fans can't stop talking about is... the hair. "I was going to play the exact same look, the exact same hairstyle for as long as the show went," Eads revealed. "And then I was late for work and got fired, and that made me mad, so I shaved my head."

Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) also admitted the popularity of CSI has paved way for some weird correspondence. "I do get weird fan mail generally. Weird people like me, but that's okay, cause I like weird people."

Brendan Fehr (Dan Cooper) provided a set tour of CSI: Miami and caught up with stars Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko) and Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) along the way. While Procter explained, in great, eloquent detail, what Calleigh's job pertains, Ferh commented, "she's not just a pretty face, folks." Ferh also gave a bit of a rundown on what his character's job is on the show.

While on the set of CSI: New York, Eddie Cahill (Det. Don Flack) revealed what makes the second spin-off so special: location, location, location. "New York's a place where anything, it's kind of a little hole where everything and anything can happen."

Co-star Anna Belknap (Lindsay Monroe) agreed, "New Yorkers have sort of seen it all but at the same time they're like wide open to anything new."

Series front-man Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor) credited recent technological advances for making CSI possible. "10-15 years ago a show like this, in this way, couldn't have existed. But with the sophistication of DNA testing and all that, I think that's made the show possible."

Head over to the CTV official website to see the videos of these tour sets.
