Rex: (being on CSI: Miami) I didn't start off the show. I was hired on the sixteenth episode, and not even as a regular. I was hired for one episode. They liked David Caruso's and my chemistry together. My agent called and said they wanted me for one more episode. That turned into nine in a row in the first season. In the second season I did thirteen, and in the third season I did nineteen. And then last year, they finally stepped up to the plate and signed me on as a regular. It's been fantastic.

Rex: Well, first I must say I love to cook. Growing up in Texas subjected me to a lot of outdoor cooking. Through the years I've been fortunate enough to meet and cook with many talented chefs.
