Two of the stars of TV's top-rated show, CSI, have been fired, CBS 2 News learned Thursday.
George Eads and Jorja Fox, who play investigators Nick Stokes and Sara Sidle on the show, have both been fired.
According to one source, both were demanding more money from CBS.
On Thursday, Eads didn't show up to work, and Fox didn't provide the network enough assurance that she would return to work. Both were then let go.
Producers of TV's top-rated show were busy casting two new roles Thursday.
The stunning news comes on the same day CSI received four Emmy nominations, including one from best Drama Series.
CBS is not making any formal comment on the moves.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Maybe they can bring in Whoopi Goldberg?
Of course I know Jorja, but which one is George? I'm too busy looking at Jorja to notice anyone else. I'll miss her.
Not a clue who they are... I haven't watched CBS in over a year.
"Hey...Wow...Didn't you use to be on CSI?...Could you supersize my meal?"
They fired the two with passable southern accents? Damn!
Y'all must be deevastated!
Brilliant move by the actor & actress involved -- just ask McLain Stevenson, Wayne Rogers, David Caruso & Suzanne Somers.
Just give the blond on CSI Miami anything she wants, I'll chip in if needed.
Sigh.
Ethel dispised Lucy, Desi and the old guy who played her husband, she felt she was vastly underpaid...But she stuck it out!
Look where she is today...Dead...But famous!
David Caruso stars in CSI Miami, and Suzanne Somers is a mulit-millionaire selling exercise equipment and videos. I don't know about the other two.
But I disagree with you. CBS just jumped the shark by letting these two people go, plus they're killing the franchise by making two duplicates (CSI Miami and CSI New York). It's very hard to find the right people in a popular series, especially replacements. Viewers will ditch CSI in droves, nobody likes new faces.
Amen! Brother Ben!!! (drool)
Wayne Rogers is a quite successful investor. I see him quite a bit on FOX News, usually on Cavuto or one of the market news shows.
Yep..a drop dead gorgeous blonde who has a hot southern accent and likes guns...what more could you ask from a TV show????
