Laurence Fishburne Exits 'CSI'

After two-and-a-half seasons, Laurence Fishburne is leaving CSI.

The Oscar-nominated actor's deal on the show was up and he opted not to renew it. He is expected to return to features full-time.

It was a major coup for CBS to land Fishburne as a successor to original star William Petersen who left the series in December 2008. But when he last renewed his contract for CSI last May, Fishburne only did it for one season.

After ten-and-a-half seasons as CBS' Thursday 9 PM anchor, CSI is moving to Wednesday 10 PM this fall. CBS and the CSI producers are yet to begin discussions about the show's future without Fishburne.
