Tony Hawk Dies; Videogames Questioned.

[FriskyTanuki]

...or at least that's the plot of CSI: Miami tonight.

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is set to turn up on CBS' Monday night drama "CSI: Miami."
Unfortunately, Hawk is going to turn up as a corpse.

In the episode, set to air March 21, Hawk will play Jake Sullivan, a skater and video-game tester whom the CSI crew believes may have been murdered. This leads the team deep into the world of video-game production, which is apparently much scarier than previously thought.

One of the most recognizable figures in the history of extreme sports, Hawk has gone from skater to a brand name.

Although he has retired from competitive skating, after winning 10 career gold medals at ESPN's X-Games, Hawk continues to do exhibitions and demonstrations.

His video-game series is one of the most popular in the business, and his list of television guest-starring appearances includes "The Simpsons," "LAX" and "Complete Savages." The Tony Hawk Foundation donates more than $400,000 a year to setting up skate parks in low-income neighborhoods around the country.

For the season, "CSI: Miami" is averaging 19.06 million viewers a week.

Anyone going to watch?

:lol: When I saw the topic title I though Tony Hawk was really dead, and I was wondering why you also posted Videogames Questioned in the topic title.

I saw this commercial too! I thought it was a little morbid -especially with a figurehead like Tony Hawk.

Kind of weird to see him dead, but I think it's cool that he's out there doing new stuff.

 

[Scorch]

Yeah. I saw that commercial and I saw his face and how blue it looked and stuff.. creeped me out.

I wonder when the last time Crash made an actual topic instead of copying and pasting news was

I think you should chagnce the topic title, you had me scared shitless.

 

[gamefreak117]

phew.. for a second, I really thought that was for real, and I was thinking what a tragic loss it would be. :x

plot sounds interesting

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Nah man, the big thing for D-list celebrities is to star as corpeses. Local C-list Celebrities in Baltimore used to play corpses all the time in Homicide.

 

[Bann]

I wonder if his kids saw the previews...

About a year ago, Van Damme died on an episode of NBC's Las Vegas. He was playing himself though.

Didn't notice that, but it was a good episode of CSI on Monday. I still like Vegas better.
