Smith And Fishburne Are 'A Good Fit'

George Eads (Nick Stokes) enjoys working with the newest members of the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation cast.

Now that Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle), Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) and William Petersen (Gil Grissom) have left CSI, things have changed on screen and off. The remaining original cast members have been joined by Lauren Lee Smith (Riley Adams) and Laurence Fishburne (Dr Raymond Langston). Eads likes the atmosphere both actors bring to the set. "I think Lauren and Laurence, just are really cool people, they're a good fit," he told AOL.

"Laurence Fishburne's a dream," the actor said. "I feel like he raises our integrity level." Eads commented that Fishburne brings "a lot of humility" with him when he goes to work. Telling the older actor what to do is "like teaching Superman how to fly," Eads revealed. "But he said 'Hey, I came in to play, baby.' That's cool, I love it."

Eads also had good things to say about Smith. He mentioned an early morning shoot with the actress, remarking that she "had a great attitude." At the end of the day, Eads told her, "I miss Jorja, but having you here, not being a diva, not being insecure, just doing a good job and being a really sweet person … We're lucky to have you."

The actor said he's not planning to leave CSI any time soon, even with the "loss of innocence" his character has suffered lately. "I think it's more interesting to see how some people don't quit, and maybe that adverse circumstances and tragedy in [a person's life] help mold them to be an even more beautiful person," Eads explained. "It definitely makes him more of an interesting character. I think Nick's found a stillness. And I kind of like playing it ... so much more exciting and interesting than my own life. [Laughs] And they're getting excited about writing for me, and that feels good."
