Captain
CBS has released the official plot, creative staff & guest cast information for the two new CSI episodes airing this week.
First up on Monday at 10:00pm is CSI: Miami's "Killer Date." Here's what you can expect from the episode:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Horatio's life is changed forever when he learns important information about his deceased brother. Horatio must now figure out what to do with this information about his brother, Raymond, and whether or not to tell Yelina. Meanwhile, the team investigates when a woman is murdered at a crowded bar after she's approached by a female employee of a service that helps men pick-up women. Also, when Delko loses his badge after some reckless behavior and it's used in a crime, he must locate the badge before it's used again.
</font></blockquote>This episode, which was originally known as "Death Bed," was directed by <font color=yellow>Karen Gaviola</font>, who this season also helmed Miami's "Pro Per" and "Crime Wave," and crossed over to New York to direct "Tanglewood." Writing duties were shared between <font color=yellow>Elizabeth Devine</font> ("Lost Son," "Crime Wave") and <font color=yellow>John Haynes</font> ("Pro Per," "One Night Stand").
CSI Files' own <font color=yellow>Kristine Huntley</font> was present during the filming of part of this episode. Photos from one of the episode's locations can be found in her Miami set tour report.
The following actors will be making a guest appearance on "Killer Date:"
<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Natashia Williams</font> as Kim Burton[*]<font color=yellow>Rick Peters</font> as Robert Smith[*]<font color=yellow>Lisa Brenner</font> as Gabrielle Marinelli[*]<font color=yellow>Sandra Prosper</font> as Linda[*]<font color=yellow>Jason Hill</font> as Mickey Shanigan[*]<font color=yellow>Rex Linn</font> as Det. Frank Tripp[*]<font color=yellow>Rob Swanson</font> as Officer Torino[*]<font color=yellow>Lindsey McKeon</font> as Noelle[*]<font color=yellow>David Lee Smith</font> as Rick Stetler[*]<font color=yellow>Leslie Odom, Jr.</font> as Joseph Kayle[*]<font color=yellow>Jon Bernthal</font> as Harry Klugman[*]<font color=yellow>Brian Poth</font> as Tyler Jenson[*]<font color=yellow>Boti Bliss</font> as Valera[*]<font color=yellow>Yvette Nipar</font> as Lucy Raleigh[*]<font color=yellow>Max Martini</font> as Bob Keaton[*]<font color=yellow>Al Vicente</font> as Clint Roster[*]<font color=yellow>Stephen Tobolowsky</font> as Don Haffman[*]<font color=yellow>Andrea De Oliveira</font> as Patti Welborn[*]<font color=yellow>Frank Alvarez</font> as Randell Welborn[*]<font color=yellow>Shelli Bergh </font> as Paula Muro[/list]Rex Linn, David Lee Smith, Leslie Odom Jr., Brian Poth, Boti Bliss, Stephen Tobolowsky and Shelli Bergh all have more or less frequently recurring roles on CSI: Miami. As of this episode, they will be joined in the recurring cast club by Max Martini, who once before played Bob Keaton on the show, in last season's "Big Brother." Of the actors, three have made a previous appearance on one of the CSI shows. Rick Peters was Jerry Walden in the original show's "Scuba Doobie Doo," back in the second season; Lisa Brenner that same season played Kelsey Fram in "Bully For You," and Andrea De Oliveira appeared as a waitress in the original CSI's third-season premiere, "Revenge Is Best Served Cold."
On Wednesday, CBS will be repeating the CSI: New York episode "Til Death Do We Part," which originally aired on the 16th of February. In this episode, Mac and Danny investigate the deaths of a bride who collapsed moments before her wedding. Although the team is anxious to perform an autopsy on the bride, Dr. Hawkes is impeded by the victim’s father, who requests that the body be blessed by a rabbi first. Meanwhile, Stella, Aiden and Det. Flack discover the handless body of an ex-con at a Staten Island monastery that is rumored to be haunted by monks who were once murdered there.
A day later, at 9:00pm, CBS is scheduled to air the new CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Hollywood Brass." Here's the network's official synopsis:
<font color=yellow><blockquote>Captain Brass travels to Los Angeles and requests the assistance of his former colleague, LAPD Captain Annie Kramer, when his estranged daughter Ellie calls for help after her friend turns up missing. When the woman is found dead, Brass turns to Warrick, who is in Los Angeles for a CSI convention, to help him and the LAPD track down the killer.
</font></blockquote>"Hollywood Brass" was directed by <font color=yellow>Bill Eagles</font>, making this his third CSI episode after "Formalities" and "Nesting Dolls." The episode was written by CSI showrunner <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelsohn</font> ("Viva Las Vegas," "Swap Meet," among others this season) and <font color=yellow>Sarah Goldfinger</font> ("What's Eating Gilbert Grissom?," "Nesting Dolls").
As this episode focuses primarly only on Brass's story and doesn't seem to have any sub-plots, the list of guest stars is smaller than usual for CSI, and omits the many recurring characters that the show has featured this past season:
<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Nick Searcy</font> as Sheriff Burdick[*]<font color=yellow>Teal Redmann</font> as Ellie Brass[*]<font color=yellow>Lindsay Beamish</font> as Dakota[*]<font color=yellow>Richard Gross</font> as Officer Kirk[*]<font color=yellow>Donna Murphy</font> as Annie Hutchings[*]<font color=yellow>John Wynn</font> as David Kim[*]<font color=yellow>Matt Glave</font> as Matt Glazer[*]<font color=yellow>Karina Logue</font> as Dr. Supulveda[*]<font color=yellow>Molly McDowell</font> as Teenage Girl[*]<font color=yellow>Johnny Sneed</font> as Mark Piccone[*]<font color=yellow>Joel Polis</font> as Judge Peters[*]<font color=yellow>Eric Allan Kramer</font> as Vic Leonard[*]<font color=yellow>Michael Kenneth Williams</font> as Ronnie[*]<font color=yellow>Don Dowe</font> as Uniform[*]<font color=yellow>Brian Leckner </font> as Earl[/list]
The biggest surprise in this list is that the role of Captain Brass' daughter has been recast. Ellie Rebecca Brass was featured once before on CSI, in the second-season episode "Ellie," where she was played by then–26-year old actress <font color=yellow>Nicki Lynn Aycox</font>, but for some reason Ellie will now be portrayed by the Gilmore Girls' <font color=yellow>Teal Redmann</font>, seven years younger than Aycox. Redmann previously appeared on CSI: Miami's "Murder In A Flash" as Sarah Mitchell.
Three of the other guest actors have a previous connection with the CSI franchise. Nick Searcy was Jack Seeger in the first-season Miami episode "Dispo Day," while earlier that season Richard Gross appeared twice on Miami, playing a gardener in both "Breathless" and "Slaughterhouse." Johnny Sneed appeared in one of the first episodes of CSI: New York, playing Aaron Moreland on "American Dreamers."
