    After playing the character Gil Grissom for so many years did members of your family and close friends sometimes say "what did you do with Billy?". In other words did the character sneak up in the things you did in your personal life?

    Good luck with your theater work :thumbsup:

    Best wishes,

    Hello Mr. Petersen, thank you for Gil Grissom and CSI. I have a three-part question.

    1) Who was your favorite guest star on CSI? And who would you still like to see on CSI?

    2) What subject matter was deemed too racy or sexual by the censors or CBS?

    3) Who was your favorite villian and why? (Paul Millander was my favorite, with Lady Heather a close second).

    Billy,
    What was your view on the relationship with Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard)? Would you have liked to see a relationship started?

    Hi Billy.
    I will miss Grissom, have seen CSI from the start and enjoyed every minute. GRISSOM IS CSI, without him...NO!! We saw that with the spin offs, (does Horatio own a lab coat?)
    When are you going to write your memoares? Will there be a CSI MOVIE?
    GooD Luck Billy! I hope to see moore of you.

    Hi Billy,
    Thank you very much for all:
    Csi, Gil Grissom and ..... the fable (GSR)
    You are a very nice person and a great actor.
    You and Jorja are fantastic and give us a dream:
    a true love story so different between other love story because Gris and Sara are the very special persons, romantic,true, natural, simple in other word the GSR is "the true love".
    It's very good to see this story building day after day in the Csi's seasons.

    What's your feeling about Grissom and Sara?

    Grissom told Sara that "sex without love is pointless...."
    What really means for Gil Grissom the words "Heather... would you stay" ?

    Good luck Billy.....and I hope to see you again as soon as.

    What, if anything, do you think the criminal justice system, from police to the courts, can do to help stem the CSI effect? Do you believe more funding and better technology is the answer or are there more material changes that need to be made to the way we bring criminals to justice?

    In the battle of wits between your character Grissom and Dexter, who would win?

    Your thoughtful approach to acting, using your intelligence with the right balance of emotion(much like a good teacher), is what got me hooked on CSI. Any chance you might direct films in the future, and what genre would you apply yourself?

    Dear Mr. Petersen.

    With Grissom leaving I want to thank you for all your hard work on the show, infront and behind the camera. I wish you all the best for the future.

    After these nine years, how do you feel the CSI experience has been for you? Anything you regret, wish had been different or simply wouldn't have changed for anything?

    Should you ever visit Sweden I'd be happy to treat you and your lovely wife to lunch. (If I have offended you, I appologize.)

    Blessings to you and yours.

    Hi Mr. Petersen, Thank you for giving us nine great years on CSI! The show is going to be totally different without you. You are one of my favorite actors!

    1)What is one of your most memorable moments about being on CSI?
    2)Are you planning on doing any movies?

    I already asked a question earlier, but screw it, I have another.

    Mr.Petersen,
    Are you satisfied with how the character Grissom leaves the CSI? Do you think its an ending that Grissom would be happy with?

    Thank you :D

    Any idea if this Q&A is going to appear in a future issue? There was nothing in the cover special a few issues ago. Hopefully, this wasn't scrapped.

    ricker23: I was wondering the SAME thing. I have the two 'big' editions of TV Guide (The "Goodbye Grissom" and the one with Billy/Marg on the cover) and no fan questions are in there...I really hope the idea didn't get scrapped, either....it was so cute and I can't imagine that, if BILLY himself asked for it, that the magazine would turn him down after approving it...*sigh* I'll keep my fingers crossed. <3 you Billy ;)
