Romy Rosemont already showed in some of the biggest TV shows before playing Jacqui Franco on “CSI.” These included “Murphy Brown,” “ER,” and “Ally McBeal.” She showed up in seasons three, four, and five of “CSI.” Jacqui was the fingerprint lab technician who became indispensable to the team.
Jacqui’s character was a serious one in both work and life, but she revealed a lighter side in the season three episode, “A Night at the Movies.” In this episode, she made a bet with Greg about who could process the results of a weapon quickest and, upon being declared the loser, agreed to wear a rather humiliating hat.
Alex Carter – Then
Louis Vartann, played by Alex Carter, came to "CSI" with a richer backstory than most homicide detectives. Carter had already starred in TV shows such as "Side Effects," "Due South," and "Black Harbour." Vartann was previously a detective for the homicide unit of the Las Vegas Police Department so he obviously didn't need much training.
He had battled alcoholism and managed to become very personally entangled in one of the cases. He eventually became quite close with one of the team leaders and, in season ten, particularly with Catherine Willows. Throughout the show, Detective Vartann appeared in forty-one episodes of "CSI."
Alex Carter – Now
Alex Carter, a talented actor, was born in Canada and now resides in California alongside his cherished family. Throughout his career, Carter has made significant contributions to both television and film. Even before, during, and after his involvement in "CSI," he consistently took on compelling roles in numerous TV shows and a handful of movies.
Known for his affinity towards crime dramas, Carter often found himself immersed in projects within that genre. Currently, audiences can catch him captivating viewers with his portrayal of Freddie in the enthralling series, "Stumptown." Carter continues to leave a big impression on the entertainment industry.
Romy Rosemont – Now
Though Romy Rosemont only appeared in 14 episodes of "CSI," she made appearances in plenty of projects before joining the cast, such as "Fringe" and "Brothers and Sisters." After "CSI," she found a sweet spot in her career as Carole Hudson on "Glee." Over the last few years alone, she has appeared on a number of prominent TV shows.
These include the likes of "A Million Little Things," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "How to Get Away with Murder," "Angie Tribeca," "9-1-1," "The Morning Show," "Grown-ish," and "You," to name a few! Rosemont's husband, Stephen Root, has also had plenty of success in recent times, appearing in hit HBO shows such as "Barry" and "Succession.
William Petersen – Then
The "CSI" franchise, more or less, does not exist without Gil Grissom leading the way on its source material. He appeared in every episode from the pilot through season eight, a nearly irreplaceable cast member. As the supervisor of the team, Gil went from witty and enthusiastic, to irritated and unapproachable due to the loss of his hearing.
Despite being the center of the show, he was eventually replaced by Lawrence Fishburne after retiring from the show in season nine but will never be forgotten by devoted fans. Before "CSI," Petersen was in movies such as "Thief," "Manhunter," and "Young Guns II."
