    Thank's for sharing this infomation with us, but actually [and I don't know how long you've been on here] but the poll from a ways back had the selection from 3 candidates, and they were John Malkovich and Kurt Russell and Laurence Fishburne and at the time I liked LF but couldn't see him on CSI, [boy have I changed my mind] but I choose Kurt Russell. Ths guy you mentioned was never a choice for this role as Dr. Raymond Langston. Here's an article from then, and the ex.producer Carol Mendelsohn and at the time Naren Shankar, [when he was still a writer on the show] said that "Laurence Fishburne, was at the top of their dream list" and how "he's a powerful & intense actor, with an incredible range":bolian:

    I didn't mention an actor, though, just what seems to have been the original character name.

    The name Langston, was chosen by LF, it's his son's first name. But anyway those were the 3 guys that were kinda of up for this choice role, but as the article said the one they did choose was the one they wanted.:bolian:

    Oh, ok. I think it fits better anyway...'Santoro' sounds Italian.

    That's kinda like on NY...Mac was named for Gary Sinise's son.
