[*]<font color=yellow>Adam Rodriguez</font> (Eric Delko) was one of the celebrities asked by the Chicago Sun-Times for his thoughts on St. Patrick's Day. "St. Patrick's Day should be a holiday because it's the only day out of the year where Rodriguez is an Irish name," he said.

[*]<font color=yellow>Brad Johnson</font> (Paul Newsome) told Zap2it he will soon be filming a pilot for ABC in Alaska, appropriately titled, Alaska. "I don't want to say CSI set in Alaska," he said. "This is about a guy who works for the state police. Because that country is so big and there are so few people, [the police] have to be pretty diverse. This guy's an investigator, and he's a cop, and it's a really well-written story."
[*]<font color=yellow>Nick Adams</font>, from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, criticised the portrayal of a transgender character in CSI's "Identity Crisis". He told the Sun-Sentinel the episode was about "an elusive criminal mastermind, a serial killer, where it's revealed that he had a sex-change operation from female to male, with creepy flashbacks and horror music behind it."

[*]<font color=yellow>Kurt Shearer</font>, deputy director of the major crimes division at the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, recently praised CSI's accuracy. "CSI is a really innovative show with a touch of Hollywood," he said.
