    There is a cool and calm demeanor to Gary or is it Warrick? The acting is so good I tend not to differentiate the actor from the character. Anyway, a question keeps popping in my head, how is CSI going to be without Warrick and will the replacement live up to it? He sure left some awfully big shoes for the replacement to fit into and CSI being one of my top shows leaves me scared as to if the replacement will actually live to the bill coz the team with Warrick Gary was a formidable cast. Since I rarely say this bout a dude, here it is...I will miss Warrick on CSI. Am out...

    Dourdan a great actor; Warrick not so great a character. hide show

    Gary Dourdan has proven to be a great actor in his role as Warrick Brown on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in earlier seasons, but as he stepped up to the plate for seasons seven and eight, he began to lose his edge. While Dourdan is a good actor, his character Warrick has become less-charming. After working his way through his gambling problems, he has begun to sink into drugs, alcohol, and women. Warrick has become one of my least favourite characters, with thanks to the writers. Breaking Warrick's character down and burning him out did lead him to his situation in the season eight finale, which is understandable. I suppose we will just have to wait for the season nine premiere to get a better look at Dourdan's role in the show.

    Gary, you are the Denzel replacement. He has nothing on you. If you ever have to play him, you would be perfect i really love the way you handle yourself on tv. You walk so smooth that the grass doesn't move. Keep up the good work! hide show

    CSI would not be if it was not for Gary. I know he is a very sexy man and his eyes will make you forget your own name. I know that if i ever meet him in person, i really think we could hang out because he is very down to earth like me. Denzel!! watchout. Don't worry Gary you got Denzel beat in my books and this is the very first time i have ever written a review or lusted after any movie/tv star really!But i had to speak up because now i only watch CSI because of you.

    Born in Philadelphia Gary Dourdan had always wanted to be an actor from a very early age. He now stars as CSI Warrick Brown in hit CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigater. He enjoys anything musical from saxophone to piano and can play a wide variety of musical instruments. He has two children with his ex wife Roshumba Williams. A Boy- Lyric and a girl- Nyla. This guy is a good actor and I hope he is involved in some good storylines for up and coming episode s of CSI!

    MMMMM!!! Just how low can you unbutton bro? hide show

    Georgeous, sexy, fun loving and green eyes that you could get lost in. Gracing the scenes of CSI with shirts open dangerously low, flashing that smile that would light up any room and all you wonder is why isn't this man given stronger story lines.

    The first season of the show when Warrick Brown tackled his gambling problems displayed undeniable talent that has yet to be recalled. His character has aged and matured so predictably that you are left to wonder if this is after all CSI Las Vegas. In the city of glaring neon lights, gaming rooms at every corner and the ever present undertones of mystery and deceipt you have to admit the corpses have a more interesting storyline.
