Big news, CSI fans!
Entertainment Weekly reports that William Petersen‘s character on CSI, Gil Grissom, will be gone by mid-season.
“Billy is leaving,” confirms the show’s executive producer, “But he will remain throughout the run of the series an executive producer. And he will, whenever CBS asks, come back. I don’t think you’ve seen the last of Gil Grissom.”
Petersen tells the mag, “I’m in a great place in terms of knowing that I’ll be more free to make choices. And I’m responsible enough to not do it in a way that would hurt [the show]. I want it to work for the writers, I want it to work for the cast, and, MOST importantly, I want it to work for the audience. I don’t want them to abandon the show.”
It’s always good to spread your wings a bit.
He has been on the show 8 years!! He’s made all the money he needs.
Now, the question is: does anyone care that he’s leaving the show???
