Tavis Smiley: |
You've been [on CSI] since the beginning on the program. |
|
Robert David Hall: |
I joined on the fifth show of the first year. |
|
Tavis Smiley: |
Exactly. Were you originally supposed to be there as a permanent member of the cast? |
|
Robert David Hall: |
No, the first coroner didn't like the job as much and might have had a little trouble pronouncing the 10-syllable medical words, so God bless my father forcing me to take three years of Latin. (Laughter) He forced me, too. |
