CSI Miami: B-lister central
Some casting decisions truly make us laugh. A few month ago we mused WHO could play HoCaine's illegitimate spawn's mother? A few renowned actresses came to our mind - Gina Gershon (dark and sexy) or Michelle Pfeiffer (blonde and sexy) came to our mind.
Since last weekend the cat is out of the bag and we are scratching our heads. Questions arise. According to the Hollywood Reporter ex-Showgirl Elizabeth Berkley (http://spoilertv-csi.blogspot.com/2007/11/elizabeth-berkley-joins-csi-miami.html) was the first choice of TPTB.
Mind you, we don't question Ms. Berkley's acting skills. However,Kyle's mother must at least be over 40. Maybe even close to HoCaines age. We know that in Miami people just don't age. But we remain very curious as to how convincingly the young and hot looking blonde can play the ex-nurse ex-undercover agent HoCaine fell for lock and stock 16 years ago.
There is one thing David Caruso and Elizabeth Berkley have in common: they are both B-listers. While Caruso has an impressive list of failures under his belt Ms Berkley's screen debut "Showgirls" turned out to be a career disaster.
We are ready to give Mrs. Berkley the benefit of the doubt. Our verdict will come after episode 12 when she will make her first appearance. And if it doesn't work out we are sure Paris Hilton wouldn't mind filling in...
