Sam Braun was a character on the television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He was portrayed by actor Scott Wilson. He appears in the episodes Burked, Inside the Box, Assume Nothing, Jackpot, No More Bets, Grave Danger: Part 1, Grave Danger: Part 2, Kiss Kiss, Bye Bye, Built to Kill: Part 1 and Built to Kill: Part 2.
Braun is the owner of several casinos including The Rampart (later demolished and replaced with the Olympus), Tangiers, Whiskey Town, and Pikes Gambling Hall. In Inside The Box he is arrested for murder but the case is later thrown out in Assume Nothing because instead of following protocol, Catherine tests her own blood against an unknown at the crime scene. He is revealed as her father through this event also.
In Built to Kill: Part 1 Robert O'Brien, an associate of Sam's commits suicide after Sam cons him and his partner Joe Hirschoff out of 20 million dollars. Later in Built to Kill: Part 2 Catherine Willows' daughter Lindsey is kidnapped by Robert O'Brien's brother. After Lindsey is rescued, Willows visits with Braun outside of a casino. While they are having a conversation Joe Hirschoff shoots Sam Braun twice in the chest. As Hirschoff turns to run he is shot and killed by Braun's bodyguard. Braun collapses into Willows' arms and dies moments later. He is confirmed dead in Double-Cross when Willows lights a votive candle for him.
