The Real Reason Gary Dourdan Left CSI
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" had a sizable run on CBS. The police procedural ran for 15 seasons, and as tends to be the case with any live-action TV show that runs that long, cast members came and went. It's hard not to have a soft spot for one character who was there from the start who left prematurely — Warrick Brown, as played by Gary Dourdan. It was a tragic end for such a beloved character, but the real reason behind Dourdan's departure seems to come down to a tale as old as time.
