During the forum, the actors answered questions from the public about how close the show is to real life investigations.
"CSI tries to be as real as it possibly can. Our writers take forensics very seriously. We do our best to portray the medium as accurately as possible.It seems like they caught on pretty good." said David Berman.
David is the actor who plays the part of David Phillips on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Workman said the capacity to analyze crime scene evidence in Nevada has not kept up with growth and now departments have such a backlog of cases, the ability to solve crimes is hindered.
