You're a forensic investigator, how would you like to be a real forensic investigator?
That's one of the things I've alluded to and no thanks! What they have to deal with on a daily basis is insane. We don't have to deal with the smells; we're here in Hollywood where the blood tastes like peppermint. It's easy to meet death on TV!
So are you saying that you couldn't deal with all that gruesomeness if it was for real?
Maybe you could deal with one of the crimes that maybe wasn't as gruesome and it was just the body, but what if you have to deal with the smell of a dead body. What if you have to go to like three homicides in a row in a day where it's one after the other. Then you think about doing that week in and week out. So I try to think about what it would do to them personally to be a public servant and to have to deal with some of the stuff they have to deal with.
