    What Can Rex Linn Not Do? This Guy Rocks! hide show

    I Loved Rex when i first saw him in the Movie "Cliffhanger" Co-Starring with the likes of Sly Stallone & John Lithgow (Another Talented & Great Actor) but yet he's on a TV Show Co-Starring with None Other Then David Caruso! Man! This guy's one Lucky Actor to be starring in movies or TV Shows with Those guys!

    I so Love his Character Det. Frank Tripp In CSI: Miami He's so hilarous Whenever he says to a Suspect "Come here you little Cracker!" or trys to talk about a CSI Gadget by calling a blue light-Do-hickey LOL. him and David Play off each other Great man! I'm Hoping he stays on the show for a long time!
