[*]Real-life criminalists and CSI consultant <font color=yellow>Daniel Holstein</font>, the inspiration behind the character of Gil Grissom, is trying to inspire UNLV students to join the crime scene investigation field.

And, a lot of our time is spent in the lab or searching for the needle in a haystack. Can you imagine going three hours looking for one print? That would be boring on television. It is for entertainment purposes, and that's the way you have to look at it."
