I loved those characters on the show, but man, they should NOT be asking for more money...
1. There are TWO spin-offs, one starting this coming fall
2. The second spin-off has done well
3. The third spin-off WILL do well with Gary Sinise
4. They OBVIOUSLY DON'T NEED you for the show to be successful...so why ask for more money? lol...
Anyways, i'm bummed these two are gone as it is...the Vegas show is still the best, and they were a huge part of it. Wonder how they are going to spin that...last season both were up for a promotion, one got it, now both are gone!
Interesting...

Heard on the radio that CSI will bring in the guys who replaced bo & luke duke...
If I asked for more money at my job and then didn't show up for work I'd be also be fired. Who do these people think they are, professional athletes?

And yeah, that guy was one of the hotties on the show... that sucks for the major CSI (female) fans. I wonder how they will right 'em out of the show...

Eads & Fox Returning to CSI? Source: Associated Press, E! Online
Wednesday, July 21, 2004
Both George Eads and Jorja Fox are expecting to still be part of the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation cast for the fifth season, stating their firings last week was one big misunderstanding. CBS reportedly let the two actors go for breach of contract. Reports said they had asked for more money to stay on the show.
Eads, who played Nick Stokes on the popular show, tells the Associated Press that the reason he didn't show up on-time the first day of filming was because he overslept. He hoped what he called a "big misunderstanding" with CBS and its chief, Leslie Moonves, will be resolved by the end of the week and he will be back to work on the hit drama.
"Yeah, definitely, I look forward to going back," he told a Television Critics Association meeting on Wednesday. He was on hand to publicize his upcoming TV movie Evel Knievel, airing July 30 on TNT.
Meanwhile, Jorja Fox, who played Sara Sidle, will for sure rejoin the show, says E! News Live. Fox was let go last Wednesday, it was said, because she had not met a CBS-imposed deadline pledging, in writing, to continue to report for work, ongoing contract hassles or no.
The actress was said to be "mystified" by her firing, because she believed she'd sent in her letter in time. E! said the Fox matter was ruled a misunderstanding, clearing the way for her return.
Shooting on the show's fifth season was to have begun last week, but cameras never got rolling.

'CSI's' Guilfoyle Chases More Clues Source: Zap2It.com
By Jay Bobbin
New York and Miami have their own "CSI" teams now, but the original Las Vegas squad hasn't lost any steam.
One person exceptionally grateful for it -- apart from every CBS shareholder -- is Paul Guilfoyle, one of the movie world's busiest character actors before finding steady employment as Capt. Jim Brass on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," the Thursday crime drama with an unflagging popularity that was reconfirmed by the airing of its 100th episode last month. More evidence is furnished by the Nielsen ratings, in which "CSI" remains a regular Top Five finisher.
Once the supervisor of the Vegas forensics team, Brass was transferred in the wake of a rookie's death. Now back in homicide, he still consults frequently with Gil Grissom (William Petersen), Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) and the other detectives who manage to distill murder clues from probing unlikely people, places and items.
"We're always trying to show authenticity," the pleasantly low-key Guilfoyle says in considering the show's enormous success. "The CSI investigators find the evidence while the other detectives process it. When people start commenting on 'procedural drama' versus other kinds of drama, I don't really know what that means. Our show does have a lot of procedures involved, but to me, drama is drama."
Although his films range from "Air Force One" to "L.A. Confidential," the Boston-born Guilfoyle claims not to have felt stifled spending most of the past four years playing just one part. "It might be harder for the younger guys who don't have 70 movies or 100 plays under their belts like I have," he reasons. "I still manage to do a movie every summer. I try to stay available for that, because I enjoy doing different roles.
"The interesting thing about a long-term television role is that over time, I've tried to utilize the tools of change and relationship development whenever there's the chance for that. One of the reasons I try to stay under the radar publicitywise is so people can still receive and accept me in other parts."
Some entertainment Web sites erroneously list Guilfoyle as the son of another Paul Guilfoyle, also a character actor, whose credits included such classics as "The Grapes of Wrath" and "Mighty Joe Young." The "CSI" co-star allows that "it's a unique name, but that actor was not my father. I don't know how that got twisted around." He's also cited often as the son of the other Paul Guilfoyle's wife, Kathleen Mulqueen, who played the title character's grandmother on TV's "Dennis the Menace."
"Big fans of hers ask me how she's doing, and I hate to take that away from them," the actor says.
Still, the confusion has placed Guilfoyle in amusing situations. "When I was a young actor doing my very first play, I was told 40 people from my fan club had shown up. I was just 19 years old, and it was a very small theater, only about 99 seats. The other actors were going, 'You have a fan club?' As I normally do when things get so convoluted, I just said, 'Yeah.'
"So there were 40 people, all of them about 65 years old, who came in a bus to see Paul Guilfoyle. I went out and talked to them, and they were chagrined to not see the Paul Guilfoyle they expected. I had to break the news he had been dead for about 12 years then, but they said, 'We'll be your fan club now.'"
Guilfoyle has admirers among filmmakers, too. He's been called to action by such prominent directors as Steven Spielberg (for "Amistad"), Ron Howard ("Ransom"), Robert Redford ("Quiz Show"), Mike Nichols ("Primary Colors") and Sydney Pollack ("Random Hearts").
"I've had a lot of success working with established directors," Guilfoyle reflects. "They made movies when every actor was a character actor, even someone like Jack Nicholson when he made 'Five Easy Pieces.' If you get an A-list actor and have to give him a lot of money, you don't necessarily have to fill the ranks the same way, so I've been fortunate."
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" only became more prominent en route to the fifth season it's currently in. Spike TV regularly runs repeats from earlier years, and DVD sets are available on the Paramount Home Video label -- plus there's the spinoff factor that has given CBS two more hit shows, "CSI: Miami" on Mondays and "CSI: NY" on Wednesdays.
Guilfoyle recognizes the realities of expanding such a successful franchise: "People seem to have to choose which show they like the best, and I'm glad many of them still choose to look at the original. I think the people who make a show are what really add to it."
