This is soo AWESOME! If you haven’t signed the petition yet..I urge that you do!

It’s been a while since Adam Rodriguez’s departure from CSI: Miami has been announced, and up to now I’m still seeing some of you who don’t like the decision. Sure, he’s still around this season, and he’ll be around for roughly five episodes, but seeing him go to be replaced by Eddie Cibrian (and, to an extent, Omar Miller) hasn’t really sat well with you. “What [the show] needs to do is bring back Adam and get rid of Eddie,” one of you said. “He is just no good in this role.” And that was last week–there was, of course, a lot of reaction when the news of his departure first broke.

I’m not sure if you’ve spotted this petition created by Delko’s fans to have Rodriguez stay on CSI: Miami. (Well, I should’ve, right?) If you have, and you’ve signed it already, then you probably know that it’s been going on for quite a while now, with the folks behind it claiming over 1,900 signatures and counting.

I’m actually impressed at what they’ve done. They’ve set up a website, a Facebook page and a Twitter page, and each outline multiple stages in their petition. At the moment, they’ve sent letters to CBS, given away Twitter background graphics, and are now in their fifth stage, which is the Twitter page I mentioned earlier.

And all they want is to see Adam return. After all, he tweeted, “If you feel strongly, let them know what’s on your mind!” and he also hinted in several interviews that the decision to remove him from the show was a creative one, one that he did not choose. (To be fair, he did say he felt it was time for him to pursue other opportunities.) Those behind the petition noted that the departure of a “great asset to the show” would “put a dent in the show’s development”. Besides, the writers just made Delko and Calleigh an official item!

Then again, the storyline that’ll see Eric go is fully under way: he was saved from last season’s cliffhanger, has left the crime lab after issues were raised, and as of last night, has even gone against his former colleagues! As much as seeing a much-loved character go, I think everything’s set, and all I have fingers crossed for is a good ending for Delko’s story. And then there’s the option of him returning to CSI: Miami for guest roles, like what Khandi Alexander (whose departure still hasn’t been filled) and Sofia Milos have done. Delko might have left the crime lab, but surely he’ll still visit to, say, catch up with Horatio?

Still, it seems there’s a pretty good chance that the petition will yield good results, so if you want to join in, you can follow http://twitter.com/SaveEricDelko, which automatically gets your signature in. You can go explore from there, and who knows? Maybe this season will not be the last we’ll see of Delko.

Well tonight as you know Adam appeared on CSI for the episode “Delko for Defense” and on twitter tonight Adam responds to a fellow follower….

 
Then Adam tweets…
 

 
OME!!! Six more episodes of Adam on CSI! *dies* I am sooo excited! Thanks Adam for that awesome news!

Adam did an exclusive interview with TV Guide Magazine talking about leaving CSI and coming back for the next episode that is set to air tomorrow on CBS. This was posted a little before the site was opened. It is interesting read, check it out…

When Adam Rodriguez announced that his role on CSI: Miami would be limited this season, Calleigh Duquesne’s wasn’t the only heart breaking. So when we visited Rodriguez on set for his December 14 return to the show, we couldn’t help but ask if he’d even consider being reinstated as a full-time CSI. Here’s what Rodriguez said about leaving Miami, his current 10-episode stint and his future on the show.

It must feel great to be coming home?

Yeah, it feels great to be back. I hadn’t seen the crew and the cast in about two months. Gosh, they made me feel like a million bucks. Everybody clapped, they were just happy to see me. I was excited to see everybody. It was really nice.

Did you expect that?

No, I didn’t expect that. I mean, I was excited to see everybody, but to get that kind of welcome back, it was a great feeling.

Under what kinds of circumstances did you leave?

Totally amicable. We just got to a point where my contract was up. The network made some decisions that put me in a position where I had to make some decisions on my own. And my choice was to move on and see what else was out there. What was important to me was to make sure that I was able to come back and finish the character arc in a way that was satisfying for the fans. I had some lengthy discussions with [executive producer] Ann Donahue, and she was totally on board with that. I mean, really, she made it happen, because initially we were going to part ways the way that the season had ended, last year, which left everything incomplete. We made it a 10-episode arc, and Delko gets to come back and have this slow exit, that may leave room to continue to come back in the future.

You keep using words like exit and closure, and I think everyone is still hoping that there’s a chance that you might come back for good?

It’s hard to let go. So if there’s a way to work it out for everybody, it’s something that I’m certainly open to.

Did absence make the heart grow fonder?

I missed everybody for sure. I missed being here. Creatively, it’s been very satisfying to get a chance to step out side of the CSI world and go and do something [different]. Especially something as completely opposite as Ugly Betty. This is very morbid and dark and dealing with death in every episode, and trying to bring justice to something. And Ugly Betty is completely about love and comedy. It’s whimsical. So for me it’s been a great gift to get the chance to go and do that kind of thing. It certainly reawakened a desire to explore other avenues as an artist. That is going to be hard to give up now that I’ve had a taste of that after so many years. I’m open to finding a way to do it all. And hopefully we can do that.

This is not a new article but it is an article that came out before this site opened. It is a really good that talks a lot about Adam personally and that’s why I wanted to post it.

Adam Rodríguez’s Detective Eric Delko may be vanishing from “CSI: Miami” in the upcoming eighth season, but the Cuban/Puerto Rican actor is reappearing everywhere else, it seems.

“‘CSI’ was an amazing opportunity to develop my career,” the Yonkers-born Rodríguez said over the phone from Los Angeles. “I’m ready to explore any kind of [good] projects down the road on TV or the big screen.”

So far, it’s going according to his plan.

The 34-year-old with striking looks can currently be seen opposite singer Mary J. Blige and Taraji P. Henson in Tyler Perry’s dramedy “I Can Do Bad All by Myself,” which opened Friday and was the highest-grossing film of the weekend.

He’s also joining ABC’s “Ugly Betty” for the upcoming season, premiering Oct. 9. He will play an old flame of Betty’s sister, Hilda, TVGuide.com reported.

And he’s in three films yet to be released: the Latino thriller “A Kiss of Chaos,” “Let the Game Begin” (with Stephen Baldwin) and “Caught in the Crossfire,” a police corruption drama with rapper 50 Cent.

“It’s not a secret that Latinos work harder,” said the actor, who splits time between L.A. and New York. “I’ve been working hard and waiting. Patience and hard work are paying off.”

In “I Can Do Bad All by Myself,” Rodríguez plays Sandino, a Mexican immigrant looking for work who ends up entangled with April (Henson), a hard-drinking nightclub jazz singer forced to care for her sister’s three misbehaving children.

“I’m so excited about this film,” he said. “My character in the movie becomes a hero in a beautiful way. The cultural aspect came up very natural for me.”

When he’s not acting, Rodríguez likes to write poems and play guitar. He says music holds a special place in his life, something that attracted him to sharing a film with R&B queen Blige.

“I’ve been a fan of Blige’s work for years,” he said. “The music really plays a key role in the story, and that made even easier the connection for me. We had a genuine bond.”

Today, his main passion clearly is acting, but that was not always the case. In his youth, he hoped to play professional baseball, until he suffered a spinal injury.

“The injury made clear that the dream of becoming a baseball player was intercepted,” he said. “When I turned 19, I said to myself: ‘I’m going to take acting classes and dedicate myself to this passion.’”

Though he says he has been enjoying the Hollywood life, he misses the city. “I feel at home when I’m there,” he said. “If I’m in New York, you’ll find me hanging out with my friends and spending time with my family,” he explained.

“One thing is for sure: The Latin food and the music” — he likes Marc Anthony and Gilberto Santa Rosa — “will be included.”

I apologize but the LOVELY pictures of Adam from Adam Rodriguez Connection were removed. They felt they should have been personally asked to use them and being properly credited for the pics was not enough. So instead of dealing with childish drama over pictures because thats what it is pictures, I have removed them.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
