Rory's portrayal of Tim Speedle on CSI: Miami was just spectacular even if it was only for about fifty episodes. Rory played a character who's personality and dry, sarcastic humor made him memorable. It's been three years since Rory left CSI: Miami and fifty more episodes, but I believe that I speak for almost every Rory Cochrane and Tim Speedle fan out there when I say the show just isn't the same without the constant dry humor and sarcasm that he brought to the show. And as a CSI: Miami episode made after the third season premiere appears on Rory's credit page, fans begin to hope.

I really do wish that he had stayed on Miami, and not left. He was my favorite and still is, even though he is dead. When he played Tim Speedle I really liked the show and now it seems like it is slipping. He gave it this unexplaianble glow, that I wish had gone on longer. I think that Tim Speedle was an excellent character on the show, and now well...it is very different from when the show first started. It is sort of depressing to think that he left the show to work on a movie career, that hasn't really taken off.

I only know Rory Cochrane from his role as Tim Speedle on CSI: Miami. That's pretty much the only show he was starring in according to his 'appearance' list. And his acting out this role wasn't really good, by the way.

He always had this pissed-off attitude about him. I don't know whether this was Tim Speedle's personality or Rory Cochranes. Either way, this made him totally unlikeable. Whenever he was talking to a (supposedly) suspect, spectator, or witness he had this kind of I-dont-care-what-you-think-cause-Im-a-CSI look on his face.

The summit of his annoyance was the episode 'Wannabe' in Season 2:

He interrogated this little (btw harmless) wannabe CSI. Throughout the whole time he talked to the guy in a condescending manner. Then, the next day they had to show up in court. In the elevator Horation told Speedle that the little geek wouldn't be coming. To which Speedle excruciatingly annoying replied: "Why? Does he want us to pick him up?" But it turned out that he was found dead. At the end of the episode, however, Speedle was portrayed as the only one who ever believed in the little geek and that he had a special relationship with him. What in the world???

All in all, I think Rory Cochrane is heavily overrated. I have to admit that I'm glad that the writers decided to kill his character off and replace him with Ryan Wolfe, who is way cooler, IMO.

I think that Rory is awesome. He was great on CSI:MIAMI and I was sad when he was killed off of it. When I saw Lost son I cried and my sister made fun of me but she just didn't understand how sad it was. He was never going to be on Miami again and that was what was so sad. He is very hot and was my favorite character, actually he still is even though he is dead. The new guy (Ryan Wolff) on CSI:MIAMI is cool but I love Speed and no one could replace him. I wish that they could have an episode where his murder comes up and they all have to deal with it. That would rock. Rory is awesome and was great in his role of Tim Speedle, AKA Speed.
