William Petersen Talks About The Seventh Season Of ‘CSI’

With the seventh season of CSI premiering in Spain, the show’s star William Petersen discusses the relationship between Grissom and Sara (Jorja Fox), his character and the fear he feels heading into the new season.

In Petersen’s eyes, Grissom and Sara have had a special relationship since the series began, although they undertook it privately. It existed as a student-mentor bond, a mutual respect that has with time evolved into a strong physical attraction. “Personally, I am not interested in the lives of these characters. I am more interested in their jobs, but I understand the audience can be interested,” says Petersen.

For Grissom, Petersen explains, “The work is the most important thing in his life and for people who don’t think the same way, his decisions can be strange.” Until now we may have thought Grissom was ruled solely by his mind, but Petersen points out that Grissom in human and ends up guiding himself by the heart.

Going into the seventh season, Petersen confesses, “It gives me more fear than when I filmed the first delivery. I have more responsibility to the public now. We try not to bore the millions of viewers who look to us for something different.”
