Tale of two actors in 'CSI' case
In his first public appearance since being fired from CBS' hit drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, George Eads called his dismissal "a misunderstanding." Meanwhile, sources said CBS was in talks with Jorja Fox, the other CSI co-star who was let go last week after what CBS executives characterized as their failure to show up for work as scheduled after they'd made demands for salary increases (HR 7/16). At the summer Television Critics Assn.'s press tour to promote TNT's biopic Evel Knievel, in which Eads plays the daredevil, Eads said he failed to show up for work July 15 because he inadvertently overslept. Eads got the ax shortly after he didn't make the 6:30 a.m. call time. Fox was pink-slipped July 14 after the network didn't receive a required signed document assuring that the actress would report to work as scheduled. Both Eads and Fox were said to be in a salary scuffle with series producers CBS Prods. and Alliance Atlantis when they were let go.
