Wow this is going to be a hankie ep for me. Grissom tells the team he’s leaving in 19 Down…

I’m going to miss Grissom-a lot but Lawrence looks like he’ll fit very nicely.

It’s the end of era and the beginning of another. We’ve got the first photos of Lawrence Fishburne as CSI’s Dr. Raymond Langston. We’ll first see Langston in 19 Down(9×9) when Grissom “secretly joins Langston’s class to gain access to an infamous serial killer, Dick & Jane Killer.”  

Earlier this year CBS, had this to say about the character: “Fishburne will play a former pathologist who is now working as an itinerant college lecturer, teaching a course in criminalistics. His focus is on understanding criminal behavior, how and why people commit acts of violence — tendencies he disturbingly sees within himself. In the course of a murder investigation, he comes into contact with the CSI team and ultimately joins the Las Vegas Crime Lab as a Level-1 CSI.”

The episode will air on December 11.
