Watching CSI

Who knew he was Rasta? I did know he was high during last summer’s press junket. From Philly.com:

Gary at the Grammys

West Philly native Gary Dourdan, of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” confesses his love for weed to Philadelphia magazine’s Rich Rys in May’s Exit Interview. Dourdan says he has an appreciation for the herb because he’s a Rastafari. “Everyone I know smokes weed,” he says, adding that “Everybody thinks I’m the guy who knows where the good weed is.” Do you? Rys asks. “I actually do,” says Dourdan.

Bit of the Joey Lawrence Interview from CTV.

CTV.ca: Tell me a little about the character you played on the show, Clay Dobson.

Lawrence: Whatever goes through the mind of a serial killer — that’s what this guy is all about. By day he’s very reserved and very confident and works at an architectural firm, and by night he turns into this monster and preys on young women. It’s not something I can relate to but he’s very dark and disturbed and it was really interesting to go there. It was a cool character to play
