CSI Files
Captain
<font color=yellow>Emily Procter</font> (Calleigh Duquesne) may have a great poker face, but when it comes to the topic of Miami's fame, the actress cannot feign indifference.
"I have to say I didn’t think we would experience the success that we have, that maybe it would be mildly popular, but to have the original audience be so generous about coming over and watching our show was surprising to me," Procter recently told the magazine Southern Vanity. "I did fly this summer, through three airports, and was recognized in all three. I live in such a bubble – I had no concept that I’d make a show and it would get seen and shared by so many people."
The show's success, however, has not changed Procter's self-perception, and though she lives in a bubble the actress is well aware of fame's possible backlash. "Women have a lot of weird battles that being a public person might worsen, like how will we feel about ourselves as we get older; how do we feel about our place in the world and how do we feel about having to juggle being an aggressive worker and kind woman. I was nervous about how this kind of career would affect all those things, but it hasn’t affected it much at all. It’s nice to know that a job doesn’t qualify who you are."
One thing CSI has been able to change in Procter is her views on the very world they represent on the show. "I used to feel that crime was completely haphazard, and now I see it very differently. I also feel more appreciative of the people who protect us. Those people work so hard and sacrifice so much for us…have such high character. They put their lives on the line for us. I’m continually impressed by their motivation."
