Laurence Fishburn prime “CSI” suspect

Los Angeles,CA – Laurence Fishburn is in negociations to replace William Petersen as the star of CBS’ crime drama show “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” aka “CSI: Las Vegas”

The search for a new lead has been shrouded in secrecy, but sources say Fishburne is being heavily courted to play the new character, described as a doctor/scientist outsider to the CSI unit who has the same genetic profile as a serial killer but hasn’t previously acted on any homicidal impulses.

Fishburne, an Oscar nominee for “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” had been mentioned as one of the “CSI” producers’ top choices for the role, along with John Malkovich and Kurt Russell.
