Edward Furlong will have a recurring role on CBS' CSI:NY this season. He'll play Shane Casey, a young man who is somehow involved in the investigation of a serial killer. The description of the actual storyline makes me think the CSI writers have lost their minds: "where a serial killer uses trendy t-shirts as inspiration for his grisly murders." Do they mean those innocuous t-shirts from American Eagle, etc. that are either retro or don't mean a damn thing? How will a vintage Miami Vice t-shirt have a role in a murder?In case you're wondering who Edward Furlong is... he had a brilliant role a few years ago as Edward Norton's hateful younger brother in American History X, but you may also recognize him as a young John Connor in Terminator 2. Oh, and he was arrested in 2004 for freeing lobsters from a restaurant tank.
Furlong's first CSI:NY episode airs Wednesday, Oct. 11.

Don't forget his role in "Pet Cemetery"! I had a close friend in high school who was obsessed with Eddie Furlong, so I know this stuff.

I always think of Furlong as Pecker, from the John Waters movie of the same name. It's actually pretty good if you can get past the title. :D

Could this be Mac Taylor's new nemesis in the 3rd CSI NY season that creator Anthony Zuiker recently talked about in an interview? If so, that's pretty good casting. I find the idea of a much older, more experienced Mac possibly being foiled by a much younger, less experienced criminal mastermind very intriguing. Whatever Furlong's actual role will be, I look forward to seeing him on the show.
