Laurence Fishburne has after some negotiation been signed to appear on CBS new season of CSI.

Nobody is talking about when William Peterson, aka Gil Grissom will be leaving the show, (although he will be staying on behind the scenes it is reported )but Fishburne will appear as a regular on the highly watched series beginning this season.

CBS network announced today that Fishburn will be introduced in the ninth episode of this season, although he will not be portraying a CSI investigator, but instead a  college lecturer and former pathologist, someone who will be more involved with and focus on the motivation of the criminal than the methods they use.

“I am elated and delighted to be joining the cast of CSI,” Fishburne has stated. “I look forward to a wonderful collaboration with the creative and talented team of such a successful and distinguished show.”
