Khandi Alexander Leaving CSI Miami
TV Guide reports another cast shake up. CSI Miami original cast member Khandi Alexander is set to depart. CBS declined to comment but Ausiello insists that Khandi had “had some, um, issues with a certain aspect of the show and leave it at that, K?” CBS is said to be looking for a new medical examiner. This one will be male. I wonder who’ll they’ll cast.
Khandi started out as a dance and choreographer. Her stage credits include Dreamgirls and Chicago. She even choreographed Whitney Houston’s road show for four years. She came to my attention as Fran in the miniseries The Corner. With her talent there’ll be no shortage of work. Good luck Khandi. We hate to see you go.

csi was one of my favorite shows. not anymore. I will not watch the show without Khandi Alexander. she was very talented and i enjoyed her. also lilly-white shows are unrealistic.

Couple of things. Khandi chose to leave CSI Miami for whatever reason. Even with her gone the cast is not all white. There are two Latino cast members and we have no idea who will replace her.
