Q: What happened to William Petersen after he left "CSI"?
William Petersen, best known as Gil Grissom in CBS's procedural smash "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," was never a prolific screen actor. Deadline.com once called him "one of those highly selective actors who never wore out his welcome."
He seemed to take that to extremes with "CSI." He was so concerned with wearing out his welcome that he left the show early, and then mostly dropped out of the screen biz in favor of theatrical acting back in Chicago, where he got his start.
