George Eads sat down for a chat with CSI Files to discuss his time on the show and the many experiences he’s had as a result of his tenure on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” During the interview, Eads ruminated on his rare experience of watching so many of his fellow cast members move on from the series. All the same, he had a special reverence for Marg Helgenberger, who had just recently left the series at the time of the interview.
“I went to her trailer personally, one-on-one with nobody around, and we had … really heartfelt feelings of gratitude and that we’ll both miss one another,” Eads recalled. “So what you see on camera is not acting at all. It was acting for me to try not to blubber up.” While it’s only natural to have feelings about losing your working relationship and friendship with a co-worker after so many years, it sounds like Helgenberger’s exit hit Eads especially hard.
“I did all I could to not fall on the floor like a kid in a grocery store and just have a temper tantrum,” Eads went on. “I didn’t want her to leave. She’s a beautiful person.” While “CSI” has wrapped up for good now, the follow-up series “CSI: Vegas” continues to honor the legacy of its parent series to this day.
