Warrick Brown (born October 10, 1970) is a fictional character on , played by Gary Dourdan.
Background
Prior to becoming a CSI., Warrick worked as a casino runner throughout his teenage years. He put himself through college working as a taxi driver, a bell captain at the Sahara, selling helicopter rides over the Grand Canyon, and a grave digger before finding his way to the LVPD and CSI.Biography
Warrick is the only member of the team born and raised in Las Vegas. To this day, Warrick has never met his father. His mother died when he was seven, leaving Warrick in the care of his maternal grandmother. He grew up in a strict household, and that meant he kept his position as a runner a secret from his grandmother. Warrick was quite literally born to live in Vegas. He loves the casinos, loves the action, loves the pulse of the city.Early in the series, Warrick had a severe gambling problem, one that even started to cross into his professional career. He once left a crime scene leaving a new CSI, Holly Gribbs, on her own so he could make a bet. Left without backup, the perpetrator of the crime Holly and Warrick were investigating returned to the scene and murdered Holly. Grissom was supposed to fire Warrick for this, but having already lost one CSI, didn't want to lose another.
He can move just as easily through the Clark County courthouse as he can through the Sportsbook at Hard Rock. To let off steam, he DJs at clubs run by his friends, and writes his own songs. Spending his whole life in the city means Warrick knows at least one person in most bars, clubs, and hotels there. He's connected, and he uses those connections to move between his worlds. He dated a lot of women in his early twenties, but the first time he fell in love, the woman broke his heart. He now looks at women with a cautious eye. Warrick knows how all the games are played in Las Vegas and is aware of the universal truth of the city -- only the house wins consistently because the odds are stacked against everyone else. Warrick's got enough of a rebel in him to challenge those odds, and is enough of a realist to know the only one watching out for him is himself, so he'll cut his losses to fight again another day if need be.
Warrick maintains a good friendship with fellow CSI Nick Stokes. Warrick becomes extremely upset when Nick is kidnapped and buried alive in the end of season 5, as he felt it should have been him to volunteer for the assignment that got Nick kidnapped. He pushed the team as hard as he could when investigating Nick's disappearance, not knowing what he'd do if he was unable to save his friend.
In Season 6 Warrick was found out to be married, much to the shock (and possible dismay) of Catherine Willows. Nearing the Season 6 finale, Warrick appears to have marital problems.
