According to Michael Ausiello of TVGuide.com, Gary Dourdan is leaving CSI: Vegas! He’s been a part of the CSI crew since the show began and now he’s announced that when his contract is up at the end of this year, he won’t be returning to the show. I, for one, am sad to see him go. I have always liked his character and, hey, he’s not hard to look at either! As I find out more details of his plans after leaving the show, I’ll let you know.
Meanwhile, the great news is that William Petersen has signed a contract to return for another year. And from what Ausiello tells us, none of the other cast members plans to leave just yet. So it’s been a tough year for the original CSI show, but hopefully, with the continued great writing and acting the show is known for, the show will continue to maintain its audience.
What are your thoughts about another CSI cast member leaving? How do you feel about the character of Warrick leaving the show? Leave a comment to let us know what you think!

I’m lost for words, Its very upsetting to see the season end the way that it did.(Warrick is the man)He was a bad ass. So what that he ran into some trouble along the way. No one’s perfect by all means..Warrick will be missed by many fans!
I watched the episode where Warrick dies from being gunned down. I was so sad I actually cried a little. I know it’s just TV but Warricks’ character was so lovable. I know he’s had his personal troubles in ‘real life’ but I wish there was some way all of that could have been worked out while he continued with the show. Catherine, Grissom, the whole team they were like the CSI FAMILY! Their characters complimented one anothers. Even Sara as boring as she was I miss her being on the show as well. I live for all the CSI’s but CSI Las Vegas is my favorite! It may be impossible but please please put Warrick back on the show please! Bring him back as a ghost that haunts the ‘mole’ that killed him. I WANT WARRICK BACK!!!!!
Warrick left because in real life in got into some trouble in Fl. So he is lookoing at jail time. It doesn’t bother me one bit about him or Sara leaving. Mostly Sara, didn’t like her from day one.
WARRICK LEAVING… IT’S SO…TERRIBLE, LIKE WHEN SARA WAS LEAVING…
BUT I HOPE SHE WILL COME BACK COS I REALLT LIKE HER, SHE IS A GOOD MATCH FOR GRISSOM…
HOPE THAT WILLIAM PETERSEN DON’T GO, COS CSI WILL BE BORING WITHOUT HIM…HE IS THE GREATEST ACTOR OF CSI…
REALLY GONNA MISS GARY DOURDAN…
AND FOR THE SCRIPT WRITER… GIVE A HAPPY ENDING FOR GRISSOM & SARA…
CHEERS TO ALL THE CREWS….
GARY DOURDAN, I’M GONNA MISS YOU SO…
TO ALL THE FANS & CAST OF CSI LAS VEGAS…
HI EVERYONE… I AM A BIG FAN CSI WHO IS WRITING FROM MAURITIUS…
JUST TO SAY THAT AM VERY SAD THAT GARY DOURDAN IS LEAVING THE SHOW, COS HE WAS A REALLY GREAT GUY…
AND HOPE THAT SARA COME BACK COS SHE IS A PERFECT MATCH FOR GRISSOM…
WILLIAM PETERSEN, DON’T GO OR ELSE THE SHOW WILL BE BORED WITHOUT YOU… YOU ARE THE GREATEST…
TO THE SCRIPT WRITER, GIVE A HAPPY ENDING FOR GIL GRISSOM & SARA SIDLE… THEY DESERVE IT…
CHEERS & GOOD LUCK,
FROM KAREN JERSIE LEUNG (A HUGE… FAN) OF MAURITIUS
I THINK THE PRODUCERS ARE CRAZY FOR LETING GIL, SARA AND GARY GO. AND TO REPLACE GIL WITH LAWRENCE UGH… CSI LAS VEGAS RATINGS WILL GO DOWN THE TUBE.. I WILL NOT WATCH 2009 SERIES. YOU MADE A BAD MISTAKE
I am SO pissed that they killed Gary off. My Mom turned me onto this show, and I’ve only watched it because of Warrick, he was by far the best on the show, (not to mention, he is seriously good looking, 100% pure sexyness). I think they should of thrown him in jail for a bit untill this trouble he’s in blows over, then had him come back. I, for one, won’t be watching the show anymore, only re-runs. As for Gary Dourdan, I hope he does well and gets help with his problems. Best of luck. =)
Get a grip. It’s just a TV show, albeit one I like a lot. But, if Gil goes, the show is toast.
I agree with chef 242. I honestly believe that Grissom is the key to the success of CSI vegas. I feel he was the best supervisor of the three series I just don’t see how it will be worth watching the series without him. I may have to stop at this season when it comes my DVD collection of CSI… :o(
We always watch all of the CSI shows and NCIS. They all have to be top rated so why ruin a good thing with all of Grissom,Sara, & Warrick gone we don’t even want to watch the show anymore. We love the other actors on the show but it’s not the same and our favorite is NCIS because it’s a great show and they make it funny too and we all could use a laugh these days.I hope it never changes.
i love C.S.I. im only 13 (14 on May 5th) but i have watched this show every Thursday since i was 10! i love it! yes there have been some changes, but its still the same to me. its the only C.S.I. i watch! i am doing C.S.I. for my 8th grade project. im working on it noe so bye.:)
It really stinks, these actors can’t be replaced! They make the whole show, the best!
Love the show and was sorry to see warrick ,gil, and sara go. Lawrence although I am not sure of his ability to contribute to the show, I wish him well and will continue to watch as a loyal follower.
On the flip side, please convey to Gary Dourdan that life is short seize the opportunity make his the best i can be without letting the outside pressures drag him down
have a wonderful life
