CSI Files
Captain
The first full week of the November sweeps will also be a week of firsts for the CSI franchise, as CBS will be breaking new ground by airing a crossover between CSI: Miami and CSI: New York, and part one of a CSI: Crime Scene Investigation two-parter.
On Monday at 10:00pm, you'll be able to watch "Felony Flight," featuring a special guest appearance by CSI: New York's <font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font>. Here's how CBS described the episode:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Henry Darius, a convicted serial killer, confesses to an unsolved murder and is flown from New York to Miami to show the police exactly where he buried the body. However, as the plane flies into Miami, it crashes and Darius escapes. Now, as Darius begins a Miami killing spree, New York's Det. Mac Taylor, who put Darius away the first time, comes to help Horatio and the team track Darius down before he kills again.
</font></blockquote>This episode was directed by <font color=yellow>Scott Lautanen</font>, who has previously worked on Miami episodes such as "Whacked" and "After the Fall," but also New York episodes such as "Blood, Sweat & Tears" and most recently "Grand Murder At Central Station." The episode was written by CSI: Miami showrunner <font color=yellow>Ann Donahue</font>, CSI creator and New York showrunner <font color=yellow>Anthony Zuiker</font>, and <font color=yellow>Elizabeth Devine</font>.
The following actors will be making a guest appearance on "Felony Flight:"
<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Rex Linn</font> as Det. Frank Tripp[*]<font color=yellow>Eva LaRue</font> as Natalia Boa Vista[*]<font color=yellow>James Badge Dale</font> as Henry Darius[*]<font color=yellow>Lisa Canning</font> as Lydia Johnson[*]<font color=yellow>Grainger Hines</font> as Chief James Burton[*]<font color=yellow>JJ Dashnaw</font> as Dave[*]<font color=yellow>Tyler Denk</font> as Pete[*]<font color=yellow>Rhea Lando</font> as Sandy[*]<font color=yellow>Jackie Forge</font> as Felicia[*]<font color=yellow>Rick Kelly</font> as Ken Hastings[*]<font color=yellow>Peter Parros</font> as James Johnson[*]<font color=yellow>Damani Roberts</font> as Adam Johnson[*]<font color=yellow>Elaine Hendrix</font> as Joann Nivens[*]<font color=yellow>Michelle Page</font> as Kimberly Beaudreaux[*]<font color=yellow>Boti Bliss</font> as Valera[*]<font color=yellow>David Anders</font> as Brian Miller[*]<font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font> as Det. Mac Taylor[*]<font color=yellow>Charles Van Eman</font> as Club President[*]<font color=yellow>Jared Ward</font> as Officer #1[*]<font color=yellow>Louis Iacoviello</font> as Officer #2[*]<font color=yellow>Mesan Richardson</font> as Security Guard[*]<font color=yellow>Brendan Fehr</font> as Dan Cooper[*]<font color=yellow>Carlos Leon</font> as Vince Rossetti[*]<font color=yellow>Peyton List </font> as Alexa Endecott[/list]
Rex Linn, Eva LaRue, Grainger Hines, Boti Bliss, and Brendan Fehr will all be playing previously established characters. Besides, obviously, Gary Sinise, quite of the few of the other guest stars already have a previous CSI connection. James Badge Dale played Adam Trent in last year's original CSI episode "Committed," while a bit earlier that season Damani Roberts played Kevin in "No Humans Involved." Jeffey J. Dashnaw has worked on CSI: Miami as stunt coordinator, and also appeared in the fourth-season CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Coming of Rage" as Brian Haddick. Also on the original CSI, David Anders played Travis Watson in the third-season episode "Crow's Feet," and Elaine Hendrix played Harper Fitzgerald that same year in "Forever." Finally, you've never seen Jared Ward on CSI before, but you will soon be seeing him again, as his officer Camston is scheduled to appear again in "Urban Hellraisers."
Two days after "Felony Flight," that episode's story will get its conclusion in the CSI: New York episode "Manhattan Manunt," from which you can expect the following:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>After escaping capture in Miami, serial killer Henry Darius travels to New York with a college student as his hostage in order to steal millions from her family's vault. Upon arriving, Darius kills a group of students in cold blood and leaves clues specifically for Mac of his whereabouts. Meanwhile, while in NY to assist on a case, Horatio is served with a subpoena when the newly appointed DA names him a suspect in an old murder case.
</font></blockquote>"Manhattan Manhunt" director Rob Bailey has no experience with CSI: Miami, but has previously helmed New York episodes such as "Crime and Misdemeanor" and "Corporate Warriors," and the original CSI's "No Humans Involved." The writing team for this episode is exactly the same as for "Felony Flight," consisting of Anthony Zuiker, Ann Donahue and Elizabeth Devine.
Below is a list of "Manhattan Manhunt" guest stars, some of which you will recognise from "Felony Flight:"
<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>David Caruso</font> as Horatio Caine[*]<font color=yellow>Robert Joy</font> as Dr. Sid Hammerback[*]<font color=yellow>Michael Gross</font> as Tom Endecott[*]<font color=yellow>James Badge Dale</font> as Henry Darius[*]<font color=yellow>Kat Dennings</font> as Sarah Endecott[*]<font color=yellow>Evan Parke</font> as Albert Grafton/Big Al[*]<font color=yellow>Peyton List</font> as Alexa Endecott[*]<font color=yellow>Carlos Leon</font> as Vince Rosetti[*]<font color=yellow>Robyn Lively</font> as Secretary[*]<font color=yellow>Rick Hoffman</font> as Dr. Miles Feldstein[*]<font color=yellow>Alicia Coppola</font> as Carmen Cavallo[*]<font color=yellow>Kandis Erickson</font> as Paige[*]<font color=yellow>Andrew St. John</font> as Dalton[*]<font color=yellow>Samantha Lockwood</font> as Samantha[*]<font color=yellow>Lisa Canning</font> as Lydia Johnson[*]<font color=yellow>Brian Lloyd</font> as Window Washer[*]<font color=yellow>Alan Marco</font> as Subpoena Server[*]<font color=yellow>John Dalesandro</font> as Maitre'D[*]<font color=yellow>Damani Roberts </font> as Adam[/list]
Besides recurring actor Robert Joy, special guest star David Caruso, and "Felony Flight" guest actors James Badge Dale, Peyton List, Carlos Leon, Lisa Canning and Damani Roberts, there are five other guest stars who have previously worked on the CSI franchise. Kat Dennings played Missy Wilson in the fourth-season CSI episode "Early Rollout;" Rick Hoffman appeared as Bruno Gomez in the second-season Miami episode "Bait;" and Alicia Coppola (no relation to the famous director), played Dr. Susan Hillridge way back in the first season of the original CSI, in "Justice Is Served." In the first season of CSI: Miami, John J. Dalesandro played a reporter in "Simple Man," and finally Andrew St. John appeared as Daniel Kleiner last year in Miami's "Murder In A Flash."
On Thursday at 9:00pm, CBS will be airing CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part One," which the network has described as follows:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>A routine traffic stop turns into a wild police chase through the streets of Las Vegas, resulting in the death of a police officer. When all is finished, the crime scene stretches for miles and the CSIs face an avalanche of ballistic evidence in order to find the real killer of the police officer who died on the scene. Grissom fears the officer may have been the victim of "friendly fire" and not the drug criminals they were chasing.
</font></blockquote>"A Bullet Runs Through It, Part One" was directed by <font color=yellow>Danny Cannon</font>, his second episode this season after "Shooting Stars." The episode was co-written by showrunner <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelsohn</font> and <font color=yellow>Richard Catalani</font>, who works as technical advisor on the show and has also worked on episodes such as "Who Shot Sherlock" and "Compulsion." The two also wrote next week's conclusion to this episode, which was directed by <font color=yellow>Ken Fink</font>.
Below is the enourmous guest cast list for "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part One:"
<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>David Berman</font> as David Phillips[*]<font color=yellow>Louise Lombard</font> as Sophia Curtis[*]<font color=yellow>Alex Carter</font> as Detective Vartann[*]<font color=yellow>Wallace Langham</font> as Hodges[*]<font color=yellow>Gerald McCullouch</font> as Bobby Dawson[*]<font color=yellow>Nestor Serrano</font> as Detective Ortega[*]<font color=yellow>Jose Zuniga</font> as Detective Cavaliere[*]<font color=yellow>Brennan Elliott</font> as Sergeant Carroll[*]<font color=yellow>Colby French</font> as Office Davis[*]<font color=yellow>Steve Ryan</font> as Sergeant Adams[*]<font color=yellow>Daniel Bess</font> as Officer Bell[*]<font color=yellow>Scott DeFoe</font> as SWAT Commander[*]<font color=yellow>Lamont Thompson</font> as SWAT Officer[*]<font color=yellow>Ty Upshaw</font> as Officer #1[*]<font color=yellow>Conor O'Farrell</font> as #1: Ty Upshaw[*]<font color=yellow>Mitchell W. Fink</font> as Paramedic Fink[*]<font color=yellow>Noe Gonzalez</font> as Neighbor #2[*]<font color=yellow>Jose Rosario</font> as Tomas Castillo[*]<font color=yellow>Cynthia DeCure</font> as Rosa Cerna[*]<font color=yellow>A Martinez</font> as Danilo[*]<font color=yellow>Brenda Canela</font> as Mrs. Torres[*]<font color=yellow>Ashlyn Sanchez</font> as April Torres[*]<font color=yellow>Barry Sigismondi</font> as Officer #2[*]<font color=yellow>Sophia Santi</font> as Stuckey’s Mother[*]<font color=yellow>Seth Michaels</font> as Stuckey’s Brother[*]<font color=yellow>Tom Warden</font> as Himself[*]<font color=yellow>Laurie Fortier</font> as Nancy[*]<font color=yellow>Tonyo Melendez</font> as Man[*]<font color=yellow>Bre Blair</font> as Tracy[*]<font color=yellow>Diana Carreno</font> as Hooker[*]<font color=yellow>Josh Sinisterra</font> as Geraldo[*]<font color=yellow>Larry Mitchell </font> as Officer Mitchell[/list]
David Berman, Louise Lombard, Alex Carter, Wallace Langham, Gerald McCullough, José Zúñiga, Conor O'Farrell, Mitchell W. Fink, Ty Upshaw and Barry Sigismondi will all be playing previously established recurring characters, although the characters of the last two actors have never received a name. Considering the size of this guest cast list, it's not surprising that many actors have a previous CSI connection. Nestor Serrano played Edward Hinkle / Frank in the first-season original CSI episode "Double Cap;" Scott DeFoe played a SWAT leader in the third season's "Inside The Box;" and Lamont Thompson was a line-up officer in "Bloodlines." Tom Warden has appeared as himself on the show twice before, and Laurie Fortier played both Janine Wood in the third-season CSI episode "Let The Seller Beware" and Halle Lockhart in the third-season Miami episode "One Night Stand."
In addition to these three new episodes, CBS will be repeating two CSIs during the CrimeTime Saturday block. On Saturday at 8:00pm, the network will be airing New York's "Supply and Demand," in which a college student is beaten, shot to death and his apartment ransacked in what appears to be a drug-related hit, and the team must track down his killers. After examining the evidence in the murdered student’s apartment, the team finds traces of pure, unprocessed heroin and discovers that the victim had a female roommate who is now missing. Meanwhile, Stella’s aggressive interrogation tactics with a witness threaten her police badge.
Following that episode, CBS will be showing the original CSI's "Snakes," in which a dead baby rattlesnake is found in the throat of a decapitated female head, and the CSIs are thrust into the dangerous world of narcocorrido, a Mexican music/lifestyle underworld that glamorizes violence and brutality. Meanwhile, a body is found in the front seat of a handicapped van in a casino parking structure where Sofia and Greg find evidence that the shooter may have been confined to a wheelchair.
