“We meet Adam’s character, Luke Alvez, in the field doing what he does, which is be a team leader on the [FBI] Fugitive Task Force,”
tells showrunner Erica Messer. “He ends up having this great action-y scene, where you really get to see him shine.”

Thanks for starting the new thread!

You're welcome.

I'm pretty excited about his character, Adam seems like a chill dude so I'm sure the character will be a nice addition to the team.

Yeah, Adam left CSI Miami temporarily. It happened during the show's 8th season. He still appeared in about half the episodes though. His character left CSI a little less than halfway through the season but he still appeared on the show. His character temporarily had a different career. He returned full time for season 9 and was on for the last season as well.

Here's an interview with Adam when he re-joined the show in season 9. He mentions that he and CBS wanted different things which is why he left.

I always liked CSI Miami and was happy to see he was hired for CM . CSi Miami has reruns /marathons weekly on WE Channel

**jls2971** · 09-07-2016, 07:47 PM

Yeah I loved CSI Miami. And as I've said before Delko was probably my favorite character on the show.

CSI Miami is criticized for being over the top and cheesy but I still loved it.

Logan · 09-07-2016, 08:58 PM

One of my former mods and she used to mod a CSI board ( since closed ) loved the show .
I am a fan of David Caruso and the Science behind solving the crime . That show had two very attractive women detectives / actresses . Eva Laru played a detective on criminal minds season nine ..

**jls2971** · 09-08-2016, 10:34 AM

I didn't watch CSI: NY, so I can't really compare it to the other two CSI shows. Oh wait, there was CSI Cyber too but I didn't watch that either.

I watched CSI and CSI Miami. I liked both and I liked that they were different. They both solve the crimes using forensic evidence. What I liked about CSI Miami was they made their show a bit different by making it a bit more "action-y". The CSI's on that show had a bit more of a cop feel to them. The show had a bit more flash, but I was fine with that because it made it a bit different than the mother ship. Plus, it was set in Miami, I think the tone of the show worked

David Caruso and I share a birthday! I know he's been in other stuff but I've only really seen him in CSI Miami. I have heard he was difficult to work with though. He gets a lot of heat but I liked him and his character on CSI Miami.

Logan · 09-09-2016, 08:21 AM

David Caruso the actor got heat cause he left movies to do TV .Then left TV to go back to movies . He at the time was a big name actor to go to TV full time . Adam , I had seen Magic mike 1 ,didn't realize it was him in the movie .. He looked so different ..

He is almost the perfect fit for the show , already played a FBI Cop for 8+ seasons on TV ,easy to jump back into a role where you have to "shoot chase bad guys"

Musidora · 09-09-2016, 06:33 PM

CSI: Miami was super cheesy but I loved it. I've always liked David (and the Miami team) more than the original CSI team. I don't remember when I stopped watching the show but I remember liking it a lot.

Adam surely will fit right in with CM crew.

**jls2971** · 09-09-2016, 06:56 PM

Yeah, I liked the Miami team. But I also liked the team on the original CSI.

I watched CSI Miami for its entire run. It started when I was 10 and that's when I started watching it (I swear I'm not a psycho

). It ended my sophomore year of college.

I started watching CSI when it came out. I was 8 (again, I swear I'm normal

). However, I think I stopped watching regularly around season 8 or 9. That's also around the time the original team started getting mixed up and people were leaving.

I did, however, start watching CSI a bit again when it was on after Criminal Minds. I thought it was still pretty good. I think they should have kept CSI on after Criminal Minds on Wednesdays. I think that was the best Wednesday night schedule for CBS. Survivor, CM and CSI all got good ratings. When they moved CSI, its ratings weren't as good and CBS had a hard time finding a successful show to put Wednesdays at 10.

But yeah, I liked that for the most part, the CSI Miami team remained the same, with only a few changes here and there. The original CSI had a lot more changes.

That's My Girl · 09-10-2016, 04:59 AM

I never watched CSI but he's pretty much the only face I remember from it with the main girl in another CSI (don't know their name

).

I am excited how they'll portrait him
