Cannon Characters
* Detective First Grade CSI Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise): The leader of the CSI team. The death of his wife, Claire Conrad Taylor, in the 9/11 attacks troubles him to this day, causing chronic insomnia. It was also noted in the first season that he kept a beach ball in his closet that once belonged to his wife. He stated he was unable to throw it away because it contained some of her breath. He served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps, once saying that he had wanted to serve the country more than anything else in the world. He served in Beirut in 1983, from which he still bears a scar over his heart. Mac will protect three things at any cost: the honor of his country, the safety of his city, and the integrity of his lab. This is why he chose to fire Aiden Burn (see below) after she tampered with evidence. Mac has a close friendship with Stella Bonasera and plays bass guitar at jazz clubs during his off-time. This talent was discovered by Lindsay Monroe when she observed, during an investigation, that he knew how to hold the instrument. In season three, he is revealed to have been dating Dr. Peyton Driscoll, played by Claire Forlani. He also met the son that his late wife, Claire, had given birth to years before they met, only after the boy, now a teenager named Reed Garrett, was found to be shadowing Stella, thinking that she was Claire. In Season 4, Mac starts receiving mysterious phone calls at exactly 3:33 am. Later on, he also realizes that the phone calls come from a number known only as 333. To make matters worse, later on in Season 4, Mac receives a letter from Dr. Peyton Driscoll stating that she decides to stay in London and not come back to New York. In Ep. 05 ("Down The Rabbit Hole"), he seems to have sleeping problems and told Det. Don Flack about accepting Peyton's decision to stay in London. Taken by player Renea aka Mac Taylor
* Detective First Grade CSI Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes): absolutely devoted to her job due to her strong personality, determination and intelligence. She is a half-Greek, half-Italian orphan, who grew up moving throughout foster homes. She is very close to Mac, since they co-head the lab, and constantly worries about his physical and mental well-being. In episode 221 ("All Access"), Stella was held captive in her own home by her unstable boyfriend, Frankie Mala, and was forced to kill him. Because of her close relationship with Mac, she was mistakenly thought to be Mac's late wife, Claire, by Reed Garrett, a child that Claire had given birth to and put up for adoption before she had met Mac. In a season three episode Stella comes in contact with HIV positive blood. After waiting several months for the test results, Stella discovers she is HIV-negative using a viral PCR test administered by Adam Ross in the New York Crime Lab. The show used Stella's possible HIV infection as part of a public service campaign on CBS. In Season 4, Stella bumps into a man named Drew during a case in Ep. 2 ("The Deep"}. Drew seems to take a deep interest in her and ever since, keeps sending her gifts to her office and is later revealed to be Mac's 333 caller. Taken by Admin
* Detective Third Grade CSI Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo): arguably the most complex of the main cast. He grew up in a family under surveillance. Danny formulated his own set of hybrid ethics, blending the world of lawbreakers with the world of lawmakers. Danny had a short-lived career in the music business, and was at one time an excellent baseball player. Danny played all through school and college, and would have gone on to the majors, but broke his wrist in a fight, which ended his shortstop career. After that, he went to the police academy and graduated first in his class. Mac personally selected Danny to join his team, which is an honor and responsibility that Danny attempts to live up to every day. He does not trust people easily, as shown in episodes: "A Man a Mile", "Rain", and once again in "Hung Out to Dry". In episode 220 ("Run Silent, Run Deep"), Danny was implicated in a fifteen-year-old cold murder case. His brother Louie, who was involved with the infamous Tanglewood Boys, was severely beaten and left in a coma after acquiring evidence exonerating him in the case. By the end of season three, Danny has embarked on a relationship with his fellow CSI Lindsay Monroe.
* Detective Third Grade Doctor Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper): formerly a Medical Examiner with the NYC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME). He was a child prodigy who graduated college at eighteen, and by twenty-four he was a fully board-licensed surgeon. He had several years experience in the ER (episode 202, "Grand Murder at Central Station"). After losing two patients, he abandoned surgery in favor of the medical examiner's office. At the start of season two, Hawkes has moved from the autopsy room out into the field. In episode 311, "Raising Shane", Hawkes is arrested as the prime suspect in a robbery and murder, but the rest of the team, despite being removed from the case, end up proving his innocence through a seemingly-unrelated case.
* Detective Third Grade CSI Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) (Season 2–present): worked as a CSI for three years in Montana and finally realized her dream of moving to a big city like New York. Her Northwestern work ethic and willingness to roll up her sleeves and tackle any job is a welcome addition to the team where she is quickly put through rookie training by Mac on their first case. Excited and always willing to learn, Lindsay offers a fresh perspective to the lab, rarely hinting at the dark and devastating secret that originally motivated her to dedicate her life to being a CSI. She often does little experiments with science and the evidence, which has endeared her to Stella and Mac. When she first came to New York, she was typically given all of the dirty jobs, like sifting through tiger dung ("Zoo York") and recovering evidence from a pool of lubricant ("Trapped"). Because of her roots, Danny affectionately calls her "Montana". For the majority of season three, Lindsay kept Danny at arm's length while she tried to deal with the memories triggered by the secret from her past, but after the events of "Sleight Out Of Hand", she allows herself to get close to Danny, and they consummate their relationship in the season three finale, "Snow Day".
* Detective First Grade Donald "Don" Flack (Eddie Cahill): comes from a long line of law enforcement officials. He bridges the gap between old-school NYPD and the new generation of CSI. He is a witty homicide detective who has very little patience with the "bad guy", and his techniques are sometimes considered somewhat borderline, though effective. He is good friends with Danny, and is always willing to lend an ear to Danny's problems ("On The Job"). Flack has to arrest his former police mentor, Gavin Moran, when it comes to light that Moran had concealed evidence in episode 117 ("The Fall"). During the season two finale, Flack was severely injured in a bomb explosion, and ended season two still in a coma. As of the season three premiere, he is fully recovered and back on duty with CSI, chasing down suspects with all of his previous endurance. Flack is very protective of his "guys", sometimes to a fault. In "Consequences", he was reluctant to help Mac when evidence seemed to point to one of his men as the killer in a case Mac was working. Flack was ordered to hand over his notebook, in which was details of a drug bust in which some of the drugs disappeared, over to Mac, which caused some serious tension between them for a brief period of time. By the end of season three, the tension had dissipated, and Flack steadfastly supported Mac when the latter was questioned about the death of serial killer Clay Dobson ("...Comes Around").
* Detective Third Grade Jennifer "Jen" Angell (Emmanuelle Vaugier): a detective who sometimes briefs the CSIs at their crime scenes. Mutual interest between her and Flack has been hinted at. She has four older brothers and her father is a detective sergeant.
[edit] Former characters
* Detective Third Grade CSI Aiden Burn (Vanessa Ferlito): Aiden was a Brooklyn native who had the ability to adapt to new situations very quickly and had a love and drive for her job similar to that of Sara Sidle on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She was dismissed from the team in season two, episode two ("Grand Murder At Central Station") after becoming obsessed with a rape case concerning her friend and considering planting evidence to implicate a suspect, D.J. Pratt, who had allegedly raped the same victim previously (the victim did not seek to press charges then). She did not actually plant the evidence, but broke the seal on an evidence packet containing one of Pratt's hairs. Because of this, Mac felt he had no choice but to fire her to preserve the integrity of the CSI lab. Aiden agreed with Mac's decision because she did not know if she would resist the temptation in the future, but before leaving, managed to extract a promise from Mac that he would get Pratt for his crime. After her dismissal from the crime lab, Aiden was apparently working on getting her private investigator's license while she was trying to find evidence that would conclusively tie Pratt to the rape case. In the penultimate season two episode, "Heroes", she was lured, ambushed, and brutally murdered by Pratt and incinerated inside a stolen car after having shadowed him for months. In the heat of the moment, she left behind critical evidence that she knew would help her former colleagues close in on Pratt. Aiden's murder devastated Mac and the rest of the team, particularly Danny, to whom she was especially close (at one time, she joked that she was way out of his league).
