Will Laurence Fishburne act in the same CSI genre as this annoying ginger? (Warner/CBS Image)

Badass Laurence Fishburne is in talks to take over where William Peterson, who played Gil Grissom, left off on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Yes, CSI: Miami's David Caruso might have a run for his money when it comes to who can put on a pair of sunglasses better than him. Could it be possible for another actor to be cooler than a ginger in sunglasses?

If Fishburne takes the role, he will play a new character described as a doctor slash scientist who has the same genetic profile as a serial killer but hasn't acted on any homicidal impulses. Kurt Russell and John Malkovich have also been under consideration.

Yeah, yeah, John Malkovich, Kurt Russell and Laurence Fishburne are good actors and all, but can they walk and put sunglasses on at the same time? Caruso thinks not.

    Fishburne the best to replace peterson. Really?
    Not to me. He is a powerful actor but I would prefer someone unknown. Larry brings so many roles with him.
    I would also prefer a female to challenge Catherine.
    She needs someone to go toe to toe with her.

    WE'll see. maybe I'll have to give up another show.
