William Petersen

Petersen, who has one child from a previous marriage, married longtime girlfriend Gina Cirone in June of 2003. Recently he's been casted to play Marvin's voice in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. From 2000 to the present, Petersen has starred as Gil Grissom in the successful CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Although he has never married, he has been romantically linked to Rima Horton since their days at the Chelsea College of Art. Horton is a politician affiliated with the Labour Party. Hathaway is a candidate for Vice President following the death of the incumbent. He also "narrated" the song Bell on the album Tubular Bells II. In the 2000 release The Contender, Petersen played the role of Governor Jack Hathway. Rickman has recently been immortalised in a song composed by English musician Adam Leonard.

Instead, he worked on the 1987 made for TV movie Long Gone. In recent years he has come to the attention of a younger audience through his appearances as the apparently-villainous Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies. In a move perhaps indicative of his career choices, Petersen is alleged to have passed on a part in Oliver Stone's Platoon, as it would have kept him away from his family. He plays mostly period roles in British movies, while on the Hollywood screen he is typecast as the over-the-top villain. His film career began with a small part in the 1981 film Thief, and in 1986 he starred as Will Graham in Manhunter (later to be remade as Red Dragon). He made a particular impression as the male lead in the 1985 Royal Shakespeare Company production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and became known to television audiences playing the role of Mr Slope in the BBC's 1980s adaptation of Barchester Towers. After attending Bishop Kelly High School in Boise, Idaho and Idaho State University, the latter on a football scholarship, Petersen became a member of the Steppenwolf Theater Company. Since then, he has been a constant presence on the British stage.
