I think this show should finish soon, maybe another season or two.

Definitely interesting choices. I would love either of them as a new character. Still sad that William Peterson is leaving though.

Do you think either of those guys would do a regular TV role?

They might. Especially a series like CSI. Look at Michael J. Fox? After he had a successful movie career he went back to tv.

It would interesting to see if they could get someone like them to star on the series....

No offense to either Malkovich or Fishburne, but they aren't exactly big movie stars any more.
