Archie Kao (Kai, Lost Galaxy) continued his recurring role on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" as he appeared in the thirteenth episode of Season 9. Archie appeared as his character of the same name in the episode "Deep Fried and Minty Fresh." The odd title of the episode refers to the two cases facing the CSI crew. One involves the death of two employees at a chicken restaurant and the other revolves around the death of a woman who swallowed a lethal amount of toothpaste. Archie is consulted by CSI's newest arrival Dr. Raymond Livingston (series star Laurence Fishburne) as he investigates the restaurant case. Livingston impresses Archie with his fluency in Chinese and Archie impresses him with his ability to analyze the surveillance cameras and pick up a license plate on a van outside the restaurant around the time of the murders. Kao appears in only one scene of the episode.
