Who Are You?

Those who wonder who the man behind the voice that opens each of the CSI shows is, will soon have the opportunity to see him in a guest starring role on the original CSI. The voice is that of Roger Daltry, lead singer of the rock band The Who. Three of The Who’s more popular songs serve as the opening themes for the franchise. “Who Are You” is the theme of the original CSI, while “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Reilly” serve as the opening themes for CSI:Miami and CSI:NY, respectively.

The details of Daltry’s role on CSI are being kept under wraps by the show’s producers, who call it “a surprise role that will keep viewers guessing.”

Not only can Daltry sing, he can act as well. Acting since the 1970’s, his portrayal of the title character in “Tommy,” the film adaptation of The Who’s rock opera, garnered him a Golden Globe nomination. More recently, he completed filming on the History Channel series “Extreme History.” His theater credits include "A Christmas Carol" and "The Wizard of Oz."

The Who, who received their first record deal in 1965, are currently touring to support their new album, “Endless Wire,” which will be released October 31.
