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.
