CSI fans have been flipping out for weeks since they learned that they will be losing their beloved Gil Grissom, as William Peterson will be leaving the show to pursue stage acting opportunities. The search for a replacement has been a closely guarded secret that has left fans searching for clues. Well we’ve got your red pill right here. It looks like The Matrix star Laurence Fishburne will be bringing some of the Morpheus mystique to the popular prime time show.

We think Larry is a great fit for the head CSI sleuth. Hell…CSI copies most of their special effects from the Matrix anyway. We also feel confident that Laurence will have no problem filling Gil’s shoes when it comes to cheesy one liners. In fact, we realized you can pretty much take any single Morpheus quote, replace the words “Neo” with “Nick” and “The Matrix” with “Las Vegas”, and you will end up with a perfect CSI quote. Hell, most of them are perfect just as they are. Here are a few examples.

“If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain”

“The body cannot live without the mind”

“The Matrix Las Vega is a system, Neo Nick. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save.”

“I’m trying to free your mind, Neo Nick. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”

“Death can come for us at any time in any place.”

“Welcome to the desert of the real.”

Welcome to The Matrix Las Vegas, Morpheus.
