Casting for CSI: New York is probably about to begin, if it hasn't begun already. I've seen buzz around the internet--just who will these two leads be?

My guess (and it's probably a fairly safe one) is that one lead will be male, the other female. I also assume the man will take center stage--like <font color=yellow>William Petersen</font> does on CSI: Crime Scene Investigations, <font color=yellow>David Caruso</font> on CSI: Miami, <font color=yellow>Dennis Franz</font> on NYPD Blue, and <font color=yellow>Vincent D'Onofrio</font> on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. All the men are strong leads, charismatic and intriguing in each in his own way. So who can carry CSI: New York in a similar manner?

How about <font color=yellow>Kyle Secor</font> of the late, excellent Homicide: Life on the Street. Secor's character, Tim Bayliss, began as an eager young detective and gradually grew into a man of quiet, steely determination, willing to face his demons (which included sexual abuse as a child at the hands of an older relative) and even cross the line in the name of justice. Secor and fellow castmate <font color=yellow>Andre Braugher</font> stood out among a stellar cast. Braugher is currently on Hack, but here's hoping Secor is available. For those who missed him in Homicide, he recently appeared in the CSI episode "Butterflied" as a committed, intelligent surgeon. Secor would be the perfect lead for CSI: New York.

And who could take the role of the leading lady? My suggestion would be for CSI: New York to take a page from Law & Order and snatch one of Angel's notable guest stars. Law & Order added <font color=yellow>Elisabeth Rohm</font> a few years back; CSI: New York would do well to consider <font color=yellow>Alexa Davalos</font>. Davalos played Gwen Raiden, a young woman who possessed the power to manipulate electricity, a power that allowed her great freedom, but also kept her isolated from other people, since she couldn't touch another human being without possibly killing them. In just a few episodes, Davalos showed an impressive range and a knack for brining a spunky, intelligent, strong character to life. Angel's loss could be CSI: New York's gain.

Tonight, CBS will show a brand new episode of CSI: Miami entitled "Blood Moon". Here is TV Guide's description of the episode:<ul><blockquote><font color=yellow>A cigarmaker is found in his store tied up, beaten, mutilated, and murdered with a chaveta, a cigar-making tool featuring a rounded blade. The investigation leads Horatio to a group that helps Cuban refugees. Across town, a 25-year-old man is gunned down while withdrawing money from an ATM, but the motive doesn't appear to be robbery since the cash he withdrew is left behind.</font></blockquote>[/list]

On Thursday, CBS will air CSI: Crime Scene Investigations new episode "Suckers". Here is TV Guide's synopsis of the episode:<ul><blockquote><font color=yellow>Grissom investigates a twist-filled case in which a priceless 17th-century Japanese samurai sword is stolen from a Vegas hotel. In the northern part of the city, Catherine and Warrick probe the death of a woman who appears to have been bitten by a vampire and her blood consumed by her attacker.</font></blockquote>[/list]
