Billy Petersen Talks Returning to "CSI" -- EXCLUSIVE

“I didn’t think there was any reason for it to go on this long,” says Petersen as "CSI's" 14th season renewal was announced on CBS.



He is also surprised that Gil Grissom continues to pop up on the show.

“I didn’t even know he married Sara!” Petersen tells EW. “I found out later on. How nice! That was never my intention for Grissom. You are in the hands of puppeteers, and after a certain point you aren’t sure what’s going to happen to your puppet.”

The most recent shout-out occurred last month in an episode titled 'Forget Me Not'.



That’s why Petersen isn’t so keen about the idea of returning to the show if and when it finally signs off CBS.

“I didn’t want it to be like he’s back, he’s not back,” Petersen continued. “It should be a clean break, leave when you’re supposed to. It’s like breaking up with a girlfriend. If you keep calling her every month, you’ll never move on!”
