Quentin Tarantino Takes on CSI
By Craig Tomashoff
TV Guide: How did CSI's producers finally persuade you to do the show?
Quentin Tarantino: They said, "Do you have an episode in mind?" So I described it. My thing was a member of the team getting kidnapped by a mastermind and being buried alive, so the team has to find him or her. In less than an hour, we had it all talked out. And it was so good, I thought, "I have to direct this!"
