Locker Room #14 - Ride the Italian Stallion!!!

That was kind of amusing. :lol: I wonder if Carmine suffers similar irritations when going hairless for a scene? If he's man enough, waxing is less irritating. Either way, I'd be happy to rub a nice alpha hydroxy product into his chest to relieve that.

 

Ok the translation of the other interview is here, sorry for my english, I have problems with prepostions and phrasal verbs.


On the verge of finalizing his respective seasons' 05, Carmine Giovinazzo (CSI New York) and Adam Rodriguez (CSI Miami) tell how they take ahead the scripts in which the scientific terms sometimes confuse even them. This is one of the TV series with more audience in the United States.

CSI is an atypical case for the TV, if non unique. It’s also surprising. It is not very common that from a TV series, in this case CSI Las Vegas, two versions with same thematic about forensic police but in different contexts are released.
To the original CSI, created in 2000 and framed in the city-casino of Las Vegas, they later followed CSI Miami (2002) and CSI New York (2003), both series maintaining a quality in scripts and admirable stories - similar, but different. This data would be enough to understand the importance that has the TV franchise created by Jerry Bruckheimer, whose three versions are broadcast by Sony.

CSI, in anyone of their versions, is a program that attracts any type of spectators, as a result of a consistent script, a solid cast and an agile story thanks to its cinematographic style.

The first aspect to point out is that CSI is a franchise that introduces us in the operation of a police team. Up to here, nothing different from what we are used to seeing in other TV series. But CSI instead of becoming jumbled in the daily routine of street police, focuses its attention on forensic police, closer to the scientific customs that to the police ones. In addition, in any of the versions appears a heroic detective able to solve any case by his own account. Here, the resolution of the cases does not respond to the intuition nor to the investigation of an only police, but rather to the study of the totality of the variables at the time of investigating a crime.

On the occasion of the end of season of the series (the first season of CSI NY finalizes today, whereas CSI Las Vegas does the next Wednesday to the same hour), Página/12 interviewed two of the actors who put the body and intelligence to solve the chilling and strange crimes. Carmine Giovinazzo, which in CSI NY plays the tough and conflicting Danny Messer, and Adam Rodriguez, whom in CSI Miami incarnates the Cuban-American Eric Delko. They told us the secrets of a franchise that does not know geographic nor cultural borders.

- How did you prepared to play a forensic police?
Adam Rodriguez: - We dedicated a prudent time to study everything related to forensic science; we had to learn what they do because their task is not very well-known by the public. We put ourselves in contact with this people, in both the forensic laboratory and in the morgue. It was an arduous process, because the task they carry out is complex. But we learned enough to make it credible.
Carmine Giovinazzo: - The fact that my father and my sister were police officers, and growing up surrounded by everything that is related with police, I think that it influenced the way I play my character. It has given me the knowledge of how police officers act, what kind of people are, that it’s almost innate.
- What did surprise you more of that profession?
A.R.: - The thing that surprised me is the patience of forensic doctors. We solve the crimes in 45 minutes, but it costs them much more time. In reality, forensic scientist must always focus their attention during a very long period to arrive at the truth. It is a very interesting, but also very stressful profession.
- What was the most complex aspect of play a forensic doctor?
C.G.: - A lot of what we discuss in the show is how turning this dense information of the script into an interesting episode, to catch the audience. The truth is that we often handle a degree of scientific information that it is almost impossible to understand. Sometimes, I read the script with all that scientific language and then, I have to ask in the set what the script is about to be able to understand what I am saying. For an actor It’s very complicated to turn a complex dialogue into something attractive.
- Apart from the cities where the plots are filmed, what differences do you find between CSI Miami and CSI NY?
A.R.: - I believe that CSI Miami always leaves a moral at the end. That has a lot to do with the character of David Caruso, because he is an infallible and incorruptible person. He always does the right thing, so the show gives life lessons. It has a higher moral level. I think that the other two main characters of CSI NY and Las Vegas are more humans.
C.G.: - My answer is a little more boring. The fact that there are other actors, other characters and other stories cause that each one is a different product. Although, I must say that all of them have in common the resolution of the crimes through scientific investigation.
- The series has been a success both in EE.UU and outside. It goes beyond cultural barriers, even maintaining a deep root to the idiosyncrasy of the inhabitants of the cities where the plots take place. So why do you think that happens?
C.G.: - If I knew it I would not be here, I would be making my own TV series or films (laughter). I think that CSI has the virtue of being an integral show, in the sense that each character has an interesting story behind. In the show, apart from solving the case, there are also personal stories and relationships between the characters.
A.R.: - I think that people with this new type of shows can explore a range of different characters, which makes the series richer. It is a way of not centralizing everything in a single person. In real life, the police work does not rest on the heroes that TV and films sold us for a long time, but in a team work. Being faithful to that aspect makes the cycle richer, because it is impossible that actually a single person could do everything.
- Adam, It always happens something bad to your character in the series, do you think this affects the way the audience could identify with your character?
A.R.: - (Laughter.) I don’t know why they chose me to be the laughing stock of all. And the truth is that, being the only Latin of the show, it bothered me that all the ambiguities fall on my character. I spoke with the scriptwriters and they made some adjustments. Later I understood that often it’s more interesting to be mistaken than to be always right. The perfect policemen do not exist. Like human beings, we commit many errors and people are more identified with the ones that commit errors than with the ones that are always right.
- You say that because you are the only Latin character, bad things always happen to you. Did you feel some kind of discrimination from American industry of entertainment against Latins?
A.R.: - I think that yes, there is a difference between the native ones and the Latins. It seems that not only it’s because a cultural question, but also that in EE.UU there aren’t enough Latin scriptwriters or directors that can express our point of view. The Latin point of view that Hollywood transmits is based on the view of someone non Latin. That is the struggle that I always have in the set, where I have to make understand my point of view, that it’s different from theirs. At the present time, the acceptance of black people is bigger, but they had to fight a lot to make it happen. I do not believe that it is casual that almost no main character is played by a Latin.

 

That was awesome, Ratt. Thanks so much! Poor girl. You just join the board and we instantly put you to work. :lol: Thank you. We all appreciate your translations and bringing those articles to us in the first place.

 

that was a great interview thanks for the translations RATT i was look for some inerview from carmine but couldnt find any i come here and saw that so it was great so thanks again

CarmineFan love the pic cant help but love the hat our mister sexy hat man. :devil:

i dont no if u guys no this but carmine is going to be in a movie called This Is Not a Test its still filming.
were going to have more carmine

 

*puts up a hand* Also too, Hill Harper and Eddie Cahill will be in the movie too. Hill is one of the producers of the movie.

o.o.... >.> *sneaks back into lurking*

 

^^ I was just about to say that. It's so awesome that the three of them are in it! I'm so seeing that

:lol: Thank God...

And I don't know if this is good for you guys or not, but I looked up Sonya Walger (Jane Parsons) on IMDB and found out that she is from London, so yes that makes her English. I thought so too, her accent didn't seem Irish or Scottish.

 

I'm sorry gals but I'm going to have to contradict all of u in my opinion. I love fedoras and cute guys in fedoras. It's the swing era sensibility in me. I LOVE a cool cat in a zoot suit, fedora, and wingtip shoes *sigh*. I also love to swing dance (The movie Swing Kids is one of my all time favs). I think I was a 1930s skirt in a past life, along with a 1950s sock hopper, 1920s flapper, Renaissance maiden, Greek goddess, etc. :lol:

Being an art student I've seen a lot of quirky style and I've grown to really admire and respect it. It takes a lot of confidence to create your own style and wear it proudly.

Edited the links because I think this was what was stretching the page. --Top41

 

:lol: ^^ I'm glad that he has his own style, but c'mon!! Those hats are hideous. :lol:

 

Hey like I said, I figured I'd be of an opposing view but I love 'em *shrug*. hehe

Argyle sock? I think I missed something. Anyone have a copy of the pic u r referring to?

"I play a very very good bad guitar." (He might have meant "mean guitar" but I'm not sure)
Actually this question was asking him what kind of music he likes to play. The last part of the underground punk rock sentence was that he also knows how to play more formal stuff.

I went through and started translating the parts Kimmy wasn't sure of and when I was done I saw that Ratt had already done it. That'll teach me to read all the way through before I start typing a response. LoL Spanish is my first language, La Paz, Bolivia on my mom's side and Puerto Rico on my dad's so I'm more familiar with the South American dialect but the translations from Kimmychu and Ratt saved me a lot of work.

OT: Kimmychu your avatar is hysterical! :lol:

 

Er... It wasn't actually a picture, it was a rather crack-tastic conversation we had a little while ago that involved Carmine wearing one of the hideous hats and a single green argyle sock (not on his foot ). There was also talk of buying Girl Scout cookies and, if I remember correctly, being chased by the police...er, it was kind of strange, guess you had to be there. :lol:

I have to add to the love for Kimmy's avatar. :devil:

 

Mrs.G you don't want to wear diamond studs if you don't like them how they are get them remodelled by a jeweller, you live in California girl, show some bling :lol: :lol:

 

:lol: Oh my, the argyle sock, robe, police and girl scouts conversation. I thought that thing died a long time ago. That was just wrong, and the sad thing is that I do recall being quite an instigator in that conversation...

 

^ :lol: I'm not surprised.

But yeah, an argyle sock would be too small. The man would need like a cowboy hat or something :devil:.

 

Sorry, girl, when a guy cheats on me multiple times( ), my capacity for foregiveness wears thin. After kicking his sorry ass to the curb, any tokens of his "love" must permanently rot in the back recesses of my jewelry box. It's just a matter of principle. Sure I could have those sparkly studs converted into something else, but they're too tainted by bad mojo. :lol:
