Grissom Walks Funny !?!
curmudgeon
Ever notice how his right ankle seems to be some how turned in ?
It gives him a sort of bow-legged limp.
Did he suffer from Polio as a child, or doe's he have a Club Foot ?

Well, I dunno about that, since the actor isn't going deaf, but he
certainly does walk funny. Sort of a rolling gait, with just a touch
of the clumsies.

English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow
words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways
to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

days as a football player in high school and university (?) didn't help
matters. He also played very physically challenging roles as an actor and
did most of his own stunts, resulting in some very "good" injuries to
himself. He once almost sliced off his own finger in a play where he was
having a knife fight with himself. He bandaged the finger and went back out
on stage.
"The show must go on!"
So, he's suffering for it now, hence the painful - almost shuffling - gait.
Marg Helgenburger (sp?) suggested he do Yoga to help with the pain and
apparently it's helping.

I don't think most reporters would ask him about this, but I would bet
it has something to do with all the sports injuries he had growing up.
He's broken lots of bones, etc., and he has said that his knees are
shot from the football. Some of us find it a cute walk...

Yeah. It is pretty damn cute. However, as young as he is, it might really be
a problem for him in a few years. I hope he is doing yoga. We don't want him
to debilitated to be active in shows and movies!

That's funny. I thought "yoga" immediately at the beginning of this post.
That's right. I heard Marg gets up mega early to get yoga in before work.

Petterson young. .... hmmmmmm ... I hope he's doing something if his
age is catching up to him and he has all kinds of aches and pains. If
he's not doing anything. I wonder how long his SO can take it. I
think there are other things besides Yoga that he can try. He still
has a good career BEHIND the camera to fall back on.

Well, young in the relative scheme of things. Since I'm on the cusp of 40, I
guess I see life differently now! Of course he has a great career behind the
scenes. I just want him in front of it too ;)

heavier than he used to be (see the movie "Manhunter"). If he does
have and back or other problems this could be affecting how he gets
around too.
Of course I shouldn't talk, I'm 35 and look like the Pillsbury Dough
Boy.

"old man" steps. Often indicative of bad knees or
hips.
I know I walk that way when I hurt.

I'm pretty sure he's put on weight since the first season. And he's
gained a *lot* of weight since Manhunter, which was, of course, 16 years
ago and at least some since "The Staircase" and "Gunshy", both 1998 and
both of which I recommend.
Now, aside from health reasons, I don't mind it, although I'm not sure
I'd like to see him in skimpy clothing. Well, I probably wouldn't mind
if he were in bed with me, because I find him extremely sexy.
I wouldn't call Marg Helgenberger skinny. Very shapely and, if I were
into women, much more to my taste. I'm kinda boggled by people (mostly
guys, I'm assuming) being turned on to women with 2% body fat. Sara is
pretty skinny, except for the pregnant look in the show before the
season finale. Nick isn't. Never really noticed about Greg and Warrick.
And Brass sure isn't skinny!

Pentagon hopes to stop terrorists in their tracks
WASHINGTON (AP) - Watch your step. The Pentagon is developing a radar-based
device that can identify people by the way they walk, for use in a new
anti-terrorist surveillance system.
Operating on the theory that an individual's walk is as unique as a
signature, the Pentagon has financed a research project at the Georgia
Institute of Technology that has been 80 to 95 percent successful in
identifying people.
If the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, orders a
prototype, the individual "gait signatures" of people could become part of
the data to be linked together in a vast surveillance system the Pentagon
agency calls Total Information Awareness, or TIA.
Conceived and managed by retired Adm. John Poindexter, the TIA surveillance
system is based on his theory that "terrorists must engage in certain
transactions to coordinate and conduct attacks against Americans, and these
transactions form patterns that may be detectable."
Poindexter's plan would integrate some projects DARPA has been working on
for several years, including research headed by Gene Greneker at Georgia
Tech.
At a cost of less than $1 million over the past three years, he has been
aiming a 1-foot-square radar dish at 100 test volunteers to record how they
walk. Elsewhere at Georgia Tech, DARPA is funding other researchers to use
video cameras and computers to try to develop distinctive gait signatures.
And the target doesn't have to be doing a Michael Jackson moonwalk to be
distinctive because the radar detects small frequency shifts in the
reflected signal off legs, arms and the torso as they move in a combination
of different speeds and directions.
The system could be used by embassy security officers to conclude that a
shadowy figure observed a few hundred feet away at night or in heavy
clothing on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday was the same person and should be
investigated further to see if he was casing the building for an attack,
Greneker said.
At a restricted facility, the technology could warn security officers that
an approaching person was probably not an employee by comparing his gait
with those on file. "And we now know how to detect people who are carrying
heavy packages, which could include a 25-pound bomb in a backpack," Greneker
said.

uncle was approaching me in the dusk. I hadn't seen him in years. His
silhouette and the way he walked it was a dead ringer for my dad and I
nearly fainted. Also, my nephew, who was raised with my mom and me and not
his dad (my brother) walks like my brother!

Greg seems to be the "nerdish" computer geek type. put him in a
swimsuit and I don't think there will be much drooling. he would be
the 180 degree opposite of someone like nick or the more famous Arnold
Schwartznegger.

all lean, perhaps not skinny as such.

Not that I've seen it recently, but I don't remember his walking with
that gait in the movie "The Skulls". I honestly thought it was
something that the writers asked him to do to make his character a
little softer.

I think you may be right. If you notice he also holds items very close to
his body as if he were protective or insecure. He almost has a Rain Man
type quality about him that is innocent and child-like.
Darrell Mayeda
In a way he is childlike, he spends most of his time either with bugs
or with evidence. He doesn't have much experience dealing with people
and his people skills do leave something to be desired.
