Gilbert Arthur "Gil" Grissom, Ph.D. is a fictional character on the CBS crime drama ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'', portrayed by William Petersen. Grissom was a forensic entomologist and the night shift supervisor of the Clark County, Nevada CSI (forensics) team, investigating crimes in and around the city of Las Vegas. He was the show's protagonist from seasons one to nine, when Petersen left the show as a regular, and was replaced by Laurence Fishburne as Raymond Langston, M.D.. He appeared in 198 episodes. ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'' producer and writer Carol Mendelsohn considers Grissom the center of the show,〔(Chicago Tribune "Solving the mystery of the 'CSI' finale shocker" ) par.19 approx. Retrieved on 2007-10-22.〕 and in the first seven years of the show, he appeared in every episode, with the exception of "Hollywood Brass", from season five, "Gum Drops" and "The Unusual Suspect" from season six, and "Sweet Jane" and "Redrum" from season seven. In late season six, it is revealed that he has become romantically involved with subordinate CSI Sara Sidle. Grissom has received positive responses from critics, ranking number 82 on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters list, along with Catherine Willows. He was ranked at number 9 on Sleuth Channel's poll of ''America's Top Sleuths''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://magnum-mania.com/Lists/Americas_Top_Sleuths.html )〕 AOL TV named him one of TV's Smartest Detectives. Grissom's final episode as a regular drew over 23 million viewers. Although Petersen did not return to the show as a regular, he did reprise his role twice. First, for an uncredited appearance in the season eleven episode "The Two Mrs. Grissoms", and then again in the series finale. The first return was kept secret until CTV accidentally leaked the promo; since then, most copies have been pulled. He was present at the end of the season thirteen episode "Dead Air", voice only, on the phone with Sara. This appearance was uncredited. When Petersen returned for the final episodes of the show, "Immortality", it was his first on-location (but not on-camera) appearance since his departure. == Creation and development == Anthony E. Zuiker, who created the show, loosely based Grissom on real life Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department criminalist Daniel Holstein.〔 Zuiker was "fascinated" by Holstein, who, like Grissom, kept maggots and pig's blood in his refrigerator. Holstein works as a consultant for the show. Zuiker originally named the character Gil Sheinbaum, but after he became part of the cast, William Petersen requested the name to be changed, Petersen and Zuiker decided to rename the character "Grissom", after astronaut Gus Grissom, of whom Petersen was a great admirer.〔 The name Gil came from one of the actor's hobbies, fishing. In 2000, CBS had bought the pilot script from Zuiker, and Nina Tassler, CBS's head of drama development, passed it on to Petersen, who had a pay or play contract with the network.〔 Petersen has said that many TV shows were offered to him over the years, but he "didn't want to get locked down".〔 However, he was impressed with the complexity of Grissom's character, and he decided to audition. It was the second time Petersen portrayed a forensic scientist, having portrayed Will Graham in the 1986 film ''Manhunter''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gil Grissom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
