[edit] ?

Someone added to the article (since removed) "he is not married & has 2 kids", in contradiction of what the article already said. Seems like maybe the info in the present article is outdated (it says married, one kid) and this was intended as a valid correction. Everyking 01:26, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

He is either African American or he is Haitian or he is both African and Haitian. The sentence, as it is written, makes no sense. --Lorraine LeBeau 12:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phil Lynott

Could someone put something about gary being considered to play phil lynott in a biopic? I would do it but for some reason it won't allow me to alter any pages. I think someone frmo my house has been despicable scum and decided to make hilarious entries to various articles.

Added the info, with a citation to back it up. —Rotring 15:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] gary's role

i heard about gary playing phil lynott but im not sure if it's true

[edit] unsourced allegations

I removed the following statement, as it was unsourced and potentially libelous: "He often shows up late on the CSI set and usually quite impaired due to his strong affinity for smoking Marijuana. This caused such a stir and lapse in production that he was threatened with being fired from the show." - Feb. 1 2007

[edit] He is HAITIAN-AMERICAN!!!

He's said so himself and it was in EBONY magazine....I don't see what the problem is. I can't stand it when all blacks in the US are lumped together like that. Rex1932 15:35, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

The term Haitian-American would seem to require a citation. Possibly from the Ebony magazine article. Otherwise, he is simply an American based on his birthplace.--TGC55 (talk) 19:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Abuse of Photog

I don't know how to remove the two sources (8 and 9) documenting his attack on a cameraman, but seeing as both use such childish terminology ("douche" and "jerk") as well as expressing their desire that Dourdan be anally violated while someone whispers "oh nancy" in his ear, I strongly suggest they be removed, this seems like nothing more than a personal vendetta. 62.72.110.11 (talk) 16:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3 Felonies Filed

From the Boston Herald if anyone want to add. Gary Dourdan of “CSI” fame was formally charged with felony drug possession yesterday [May 7, 2008] following his April 28 arrest in Palm Springs, Calif. Three felonies were filed in all, for possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy. Dourdan’s arraignment is set for May 28. He faces probation and possibly a drug treatment program, a spokesman for the local district attorney said. The TV criminal scientist is expected to depart the popular CBS show this season.

[edit] Leaving the show note is incorrect and possibly libelous

The last line in the first paragraph under the "Career" heading states,"...that Dourdan is leaving the show because of alleged drug abuse." However the reference [3] given does not at all support this statement. Also, this statement directly contradicts the statement from the CSI main page. The link behind the reference [3] (see http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Ausiello-Scoop-Mystery/800037798) discusses a "mole" but still does not verify that Mr. Dourdan's leaving was due to drug use. This statement appears to be unverifiable and possibly libelous and should be removed. I am new to Wikipedia and not sure how to make the change to the main page.
