ALERT: Hill Harper To Appear On 'Entertainment Tonight'

CSI Files

Captain
Entertainment Tonight will be taking CSI: New York star <font color=yellow>Hill Harper</font> (Dr. Sheldon Hawkes) on a visit to a real-life coroner's office on tonight's edition of the show.

"During research, [I've] been able to go to the Chief Medical Examiner's office in New York," Harper told reporter <font color=yellow>Kevin Frazier</font> in a preview available on the ET web site. "I believe these forensic pathologists, these medical examiners are heroes. [...] I learned that these people care. They care about the individuals that are in that room, they care about their families and they are trying to figure out what happened to the individual and try to make the life of the family better."

In the lab, Harper and Frazier were met by Dr. <font color=yellow>Lisa Scheinen</font>, who quickly took over from Harper after it turned out his forensic methods were decidedly television-centric. "All these are things that we use on my show," Harper said, while holding up a scalpel high in the air. "When I'm on my show, I pick up things and I look at them like this, because that's the way you do it, right?"

"No, that's so that the camera can see - we tend to look more down," Scheinen responded, while leaning over where normally the body would be. Despite this gaffe, Scheinen said she liked all three CSI shows, even if they sometimes paint too rosy a picture of the forensic profession. "I watch them all, and I find them very interesting. [But] is not glamorous. Sometimes the bodies are smelly and messy and no one thanks you like a surgeon who saved a life."

More from Harper can be found in the full preview, while the actual CSI: New York segment can be seen on Entertainment Tonight this evening. To see when the show is scheduled to air in your market, head over to this page on the official ET site.<center></center>
