It’s not easy being dead<\/a>. But, evidently, there’s quite a call for it on CSI<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The autopsy scene with Alexander proved a snap for Boye, who had experience as a body in a short film — and one other time “if you count when I was undead as a vampire in a high school play,” she said.<\/p>\n

What happened to Boye’s character before she got into Dr. Woods’ tender hands was a different matter. Boye rattled off what she faced during early morning shooting at a Los Angeles area botanical garden. “It was freezing and I die in this very skimpy lingerie,” she said. “And I’m dragged across the road and then vomited on and then buried and then vomited on again and then unburied and then laid out in a body bag in 40-degree weather,” she said.<\/p>\n

Despite that, and the head cold she ended up with, Boye called the experience “so much fun. … I don’t get icked out easily.”<\/p>\n

What she found difficult, besides trying not to shiver from the chill while lifeless, was a surprising empathy for her character. “I was laying there for so long and so exposed. There’s about 75 people standing around, and I’m just in my underwear, and I started to really feel like this dead body — which was very violated and very much forgotten about.”<\/p>\n

The makeup artists take a cooler, analytic approach: Given the inventive deaths the “CSI” writers dream up, they must figure out how to realistically render a variety of corpses.<\/p>\n

And how, sometimes, to make it a bit less <\/em>realistic …<\/p>\n
