CSI: Vegas Season 2 Casts Two New Series Regular Characters
CSI: Vegas season 2 adds two new series regulars to the cast. Picking up the long-running procedural drama of the same name, the CSI revival took a different approach than the original by going in a more serialized direction. In season 1, which consisted of ten episodes, the Crime Lab faces a serious threat that puts the entire team at risk. This leads a group of investigators led by Maxine Roby (Paula Newsome) to turn to old friends — including Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) — with the goal of solving a case centered around former colleague David Hodges (Wallace Langham).
With the confirmation of CSI: Vegas season 2 back in December, it was also announced that Petersen would not be reprising the role of Grissom. Petersen’s exit was followed shortly thereafter by two more departures, as Fox revealed that she wouldn’t be coming back as Sidle, explaining that Petersen’s absence influenced her decision. Fox felt that Grissom and Slide were a united front, noting how it would be difficult to carry on with only half of the important duo. Mel Rodriguez, who played Hugo Ramirez on the CSI reboot, was likewise revealed to be stepping aside as a main cast member.
