A.J. Buckley

A.J. Buckley: (on CSI: NY co-star Gary Sinise) Gary's someone that prior to being on the show I looked up to so much, and I'm getting to know him now. He's just such an outstanding actor. Gary Sinise is Gary Sinise--he's just such a well-respected man. He's a family guy--family is so important to him--and yet he's so successful and always on point and always has a smile on his face. For the longest time I was so intimidated just being around him. He's such an intense guy when he's working because that's the character, and I was like, "Oh god, he hates me!" There's stuff he's done on stage in Chicago and stuff he's done as a director--I started renting all of his movies and just watching all of his stuff. They're just such great films.

A.J. Buckley: (on the 3rd season finale of CSI: NY, "Snow Day") It was great to do intense scenes with Carmine; I think he's such a great actor so to get to work with him on a script like that was really fun. And I actually had a lot of fun doing that. We both just said let's go for it.

A.J. Buckley: (on doing other projects, besides CSI: NY) CSI: NY has just been so great the producers have just been so amazing with allowing me to go and do [other things]. Right now I'm not in every episode. CBS has just been so cool to allow me to go to these other shows and films, which is great because it builds the profile of one of their cast members on the show. It works out for everybody.
