Peterson flees crime scene
The case is closed for CSI’s leading man.
William Peterson, who’s played CSI bossman Gil Grissom on the CBS top-rated drama for the past ten years, has announced he’ll be leaving the show this season.
“Billy is leaving,” series executive producer Carol Mendelsohn confirmed in a recent interview. “But he will remain throughout the run of the series as an executive producer. And he will, whenever CBS asks, come back. I don’t think you’ve seen the last of Gil Grissom.”
Peterson will exit the show after this season’s tenth episode — and while the actor is apparently leaving with no drama or bad feelings, the same can not be said for his character.
“It’s all of a sudden becoming more difficult for him to do his job (on the show),” he told Entertainment Weekly. “What had been a sort of fun job for him to do, because he loved the solving of the riddle, has become ever more taxing and difficult.”
And with good reason: this season will see the return of the “Miniature Killer” (the serial killer who builds miniature models of her crimes, yeesh), and the addition of several new cast members, including the introduction of Grissom’s replacement.
Michael Ausiello at Enterainment Weekly has cracked the case and gives the full scoop.

He’ll be missed, but it makes sense from a story perepctive. Under his watch in the past few years, a cop whol killed someone filled for him during a sabbatical, a close friend nearly died, the woman he loved up and left, and then his protege gets murdered the same day he’s cleared of a murder charge. If I were Grissom I don’t think I’d want to stick around either.
