CSI: Crime Scene Investigation<\/em> star William Petersen was hospitalized while filming the new CBS spin-off, CSI: Vegas<\/em>, on Friday. Petersen, 68, fell ill on set and told the director he needed a break, but an ambulance was later called to take him to a nearby hospital, his representatives told TMZ<\/em><\/a> Sunday. The actor is playing Gil Grissom, the same character he played for the first nine seasons of CSI<\/em>, in the new series.<\/p>\n

After Petersen asked the director if he could take a break, it became clear he might need medical attention. He was rushed to a nearby hospital out of an abundance of caution, his rep told TMZ<\/em>. It’s not clear what the health emergency was, but his representative said the actor was working long days for the past 12 weeks while filming CSI: Vegas<\/em>. This might have been a case of exhaustion or overexertion. Petersen has since been released from the hospital, but it is not known if he has resumed filming.<\/p>\n

Petersen was the face of the CSI <\/em>franchise during its first nine seasons, and he made later appearances in a Season 11 episode. He also guest-starred in the feature-length finale, “Immortality” in 2015. Jorja Fox, Wallace Langham, and Paul Guilfoyle are also returning for the new CSI: Vegas<\/em> series. Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria, Mel Rodriguez, Mandeep Dhillon, and Jamie McShane joined in new roles.<\/p>\n
