Gary Dourdan, the smoldering actor who plays investigator Warrick Brown on
CSI, has decided to leave the eight-year-old drama. According to an insider, the decision was a mutual one made by the actor and CBS/Paramount, the studio that produces the procedural drama for CBS. 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 that Dourdan, one of a handful of African-American men in leading, primetime roles, will reprise his role with occasional guest appearances in coming seasons.
Dourdan's decision to leave the show comes on the heels of
Jorja Fox's much ballyhooed departure from the series late last year ! With it seems all the original cast departing from the show,I wonder what is in store for this outstanding show and will it be as good with a different cast! I guess only time will tell what is in store for CSI ! What as fans of CSI do you think about some of the originals being gone and more leaving?
