On 'CSI: NY,' the audience knew I was a really good guy, and I caught the bad guy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing that attracted me to 'CSI' is that these guys are always professional, but underneath, it's teeming with a heavy shadow. Maybe even some decadence and some weirdness with certain characters! And that always intrigued me as an actor.
I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually.
Most of my stuff before CSI was kind of the jerk boyfriend, so I thought this was one of those deals, where these two have a thing going on, so we had a scene where they make out.
The lesson of 'CSI' is: No matter what horrible things happen, nice policemen will turn up and fix everything and return it to the status quo.
I wasn't ever a bad guy, and I was never arrested or anything like that, but I was a wild boy in many respects.
I was really good at being a bad guy; I like that role. Not being bad to people - just talking bad.
In most shows, there's usually a hero or a protagonist, and even if there are multiple heroes or protagonists, most shows try and make it so you really always know who's the good guy and who's the bad guy.
I played a nerdy guy on 'CSI: NY' for nine years. I want to be bad for a while. I want to be really, really bad.
I was really good at being a bad guy.
I didn't grow up watching detective shows. I've never even seen an episode of 'CSI.'
