The number of veteran film actors guest-starring in this series is beginning to get impressive. In this episode, Ned Beatty, a very experienced and fantastic actor, guest stars "Dr. Dave," your friendly dentist (who happens to be a serial killer!!).
Beatty is riveting in his role, even though we don't see him until halfway through. That's okay because we have another screen star who makes his entrance, filling in for William Petersen. That is Liev Schreiber, who plays "Michael Keppler." The series star, "Gil Grissom" (Petersen), is back east on a four-week sabbatical and Keppler takes his place. I found him to be interesting, too, in a very low-key way. He's no "Grissom," but I know he's only temporary.
The story involves pretty, innocent "Jane Does" being killed, about once every ten years. This killer is disciplined! Eventually, clues lead to the aging dentist.
