Main characters

  • CSI Detective First Grade: Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise): is leader of the CSI team. He was born in Chicago and even considered working for the Chicago Police Department. 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 major in the United States 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 lab." Mac has a close friendship with Stella Bonasera. Mac plays the 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 ("Stuck On You"). 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 two years before they met (and gave up for adoption), 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. Everything ends up having to do with an incident when he was a young boy. His friend's brother was beaten to death in front of him, and as he and his friend come to find out later, his friend's littlest brother witnessed the murder and holds Mac responsible for not saving his brother's life when Mac had the chance, making him the 333 stalker. 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 Episode 5 ("Down The Rabbit Hole"), he seems to have sleeping problems and told Det. Don Flack about accepting Peyton's decision to stay in London.
  • CSI Detective First Grade: Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes): is 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, due to the death of her mother in a traffic accident when Stella was just 2 years old ("Grounds for Deception") . Since they co-head the lab, she is very close to Mac, 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 season three 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. 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 Episode 2 ("The Deep"). Drew seems to take a deep interest in her and keeps sending gifts to her office. Drew is later revealed to be Mac's 333 caller. In the season 5 opener ("Veritas") she is seen chasing Joe and Joe later pushes her over a rail and gets away, but she is apparently strong enough to pull herself back up. hoi.............
  • CSI Detective Third Grade: Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo): 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 had his wrist not been broken during a game. 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 "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 embarked on a relationship with his fellow CSI Lindsay Monroe. He had a mental breakdown after the death of his neighbor's son, Ruben. Out of pain and guilt, he slept with Ruben's mother, Rikki. That night he thought that Lindsay Monroe was still mad at him because he forgot her birthday. She then told him that she was sad because he never came to her for advice or help or to just cry on her shoulder, then she said that she loved him and she had to let that go now. However, in episode 419 ("Personal Foul"), Danny begged Lindsay to come over to his apartment so they could talk things out. It was at this time that Anna Belknap became pregnant with her 2nd child in real life, and instead of hiding this pregnancy like she did with her first in season 3, the producers decided to write this development into Danny and Lindsay's storyline, making Danny the father of Lindsay's child. It is believed that on the night of "Personal Foul", Lindsay turned around and went to Danny's apartment to work things out, and it was on this night that Danny and Lindsay conceived their child. However, it wasn't until episode 509 ("The Box") that Lindsay revealed to Danny that she was pregnant and that he was the father. Danny is initially scared about the notion, but in 510 ("The Triangle") and 511 ("Forbidden Fruit"), it is clear that he is excited about fatherhood, as he expresses concern for Lindsay's well-being. In episode 510 ("The Triangle"), Danny proposed to Lindsay, but she turned him down as she felt it was the wrong time, and that he was just proposing because she was pregnant with his child. In 511 ("Forbidden Fruit"), Danny is obviously excited at the prospect of becoming a father because he puts his hand on Lindsay's bump, in order to feel the baby kick. As of 516 ("No Good Deed"), Danny is two months away from fatherhood. In episode 517 ("Green Piece"), Danny and Lindsay go to the courthouse with Stella and Mac to finalize their relationship and tie the knot. In episode 519 ("Communication Breakdown"), it was revealed that Danny and Lindsay are having a girl. The child is born at the end of 523 ("Greater Good"), and in episode 524 ("Grounds for Deception"), her name is revealed as "Lucy". Mac is named as the baby's godfather. In 601 ("Epilogue (II)"), it is revealed that Danny is confined to a wheelchair as a result of the shooting in the season 5 finale. He told Lindsay originally that the doctor had told him he had a 60% chance of walking again; however, it later is revealed to the viewers that his chances are only 10%. At the end of the episode, Danny is able to move his toes a little. In episode 603("LAT 40 Degrees 47'N/Long 73 Degrees 58'W), it is shown that Danny is getting ready for physical therapy. In episode 604("Dead Reckoning") it is revealed that Danny is doing physical therapy and getting closer to walking. At the end of this episode, it is shown that Danny is walking.
  • CSI Detective Third Grade: Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap): 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.
