Laurence Fishburne as Ray Langston

Laurence Fishburne is an Emmy-Award winning and Oscar-nominated actor from Augusta, Georgia. His debut on CSI as Professor Ray Langston was in the ninth episode of this season, '19 Down,' which aired December 11, 2008.

Professor Langston does not seek out the CSI team himself and, in fact, has no official connection to law enforcement whatsoever. It all comes about when Grissom attends a very unusual college seminar in which Professor Langston has set up a two-way camera feed with a notorious serial killer: on one side is the packed classroom, on the other side is Nate Haskell, the infamous "Dick & Jane Killer," taking questions from the students about his crimes. But Grissom's real interest is far more than academic -- he's actually in the seminar "undercover," pretending to be a visiting faculty member.

Why? Because couples in Las Vegas are being murdered again, and in the same pattern as the previous victims of the Dick & Jane Killer. Somehow Nate Haskell is working with an accomplice, reaching out from behind bars to continue killing. Grissom needs to find out how he's doing it and as quickly as possible, but unfortunately for Grissom, even the best cover gets blown eventually. Despite Langston's resentment when he realizes that he and his class have been used, he and Grissom must find a way to work together in order to catch the accomplice and put a end to the Dick & Jane Killer's rampage once and for all.
