Captain
<font color=yellow>Gary Dourdan</font> (Warrick Brown) recently sounded off on the quality of the writing on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Speaking with <font color=yellow>Ellen Gray</font> at Philly.com, Dourdan said the actors often make on-set alterations to the scripts when the lines don't quite ring true. "I change my lines all the time," he said.
Dourdan, who praised the leadership of <font color=yellow>William Petersen</font> (Gil Grissom) and <font color=yellow>Marg Helgenberger</font> (Catherine Willows) even went on to say that he and his CSI co-stars are "not painting by numbers. On our show, the actors are the actors and writers."
However, one recent episode did earn high marks from Dourdan. "Invisible Evidence", which was slated to air last week but pulled from the schedule at the last minute, sees Warrick Brown's evidence thrown out of court by a judge, who gives him and the rest of the Las Vegas CSI team only 24 hours to find new evidence to prove the suspect's guilt.
"I was really surprised, because the fellow who wrote it, <font color=yellow>Josh Berman</font>, in the beginning, we were on each other's s--- list," he said. Dourdan added that he and Berman, who serves as a supervising producer on CSI, had now put that behind them, and praised the Warrick-centric script. "I was smitten," he said.
