Gary Dourdan Leaves CSI
April 15, 2008 – 10:05 amPosted Under: celebs
I’ve been a loose take it or leave it fan of CSI. Gary Dourdan will be leaving CSI next month after his contract expires. The decision was mutual between Dourdan and producers. The May 15 season finale may be his final appearance on CSI. Producers are actively seeking, via a casting call, a new male series regular in his late twenties to early thirties to play Ray Santoro, a “handsome, smart and athletic” CSI who transfers from Henderson to join the graveyard shift at the Las Vegas crime lab.
CBS/Paramount would not confirm the date of Dourdan’s last episode, though it will likely occur in the next month since the actor’s contract expires this season. The insider says there’s a chance Dourdan will reprise his role with occasional guest appearances in coming seasons.

I don’t remember him being married to Roshumba but I do remember him being in that awful flick with Kenya Moore…movie was so bad he refuses to talk about it.

Really? Now you know I have to go to IMDB and scope it out!

I’m really not surprised. His role on the show diminishes each year.

No, say it isn’t so. I’ve been a fan of that show since almost the beginning.

Hey Nikki! You’re right, the few times I did catch it he wasn’t highlighted much.
Shelia, it’s sad isn’t it?
