Eric Szmanda – Then
Sometimes, when you have a show that is so dark and serious, it’s nice to add some levity to the mix. Greg Sanders, played by Eric Szmanda, was a great source of comic relief in a show built around murder and drama. Greg began as a recurring character, but by season three was a part of the main cast as a technician on the homicide investigation crew.
Greg was characterized by his deadpan humor but often irritated his superior, Gil Grissom. He started the show as a trainee but worked his way into being one of the better investigators on the team.
Elisabeth Harnois – Then
Morgan Brody, played by Elisabeth Harnois, stepped onto the show in season eleven. But as soon as season twelve was around the corner, she was one of the main roles. Brody came to the Las Vegas CSI unit from the Los Angeles Police Department, and despite having a relatively simple backstory, she did have a connection to Catherine Willows in her past.
Five years before Harnois worked on "CSI," she had an appearance on an episode of "CSI: Miami" as a separate character. After joining the cast, Harnois continued in the role of Brody to the end of the show and in the series finale.
Elisabeth Harnois – Now
Despite her early success as a child actress and her involvement in a number of commercials during her formative years, Elisabeth Harnois's career failed to attain A-list status. After the conclusion of her role in "CSI," Harnois gradually receded from the public eye, primarily featuring in small-scale TV movies.
Her most recent television movie was completed in 2019, marking a temporary pause in her on-screen appearances. However, beyond these projects, Harnois seems to deliberately maintain an exceptionally private life, shielding herself from the prying eyes of the media and allowing her personal world to flourish far away from the spotlight.
Eric Szmanda – Now
"CSI" has been the biggest project that Eric Szmanda has taken on so far in his somewhat spotty career. He has appeared in various television programs. But, truth be told, he remained relatively unknown as an actor. Since the show ended, he has had only two non-CSI-related projects that he has acted in.
Szmanda joined co-star Jorja Fox in a benefit to raise money for saving animals around the world from animal cruelty, and he also traveled to Thailand to speak with Burmese refugees. Hopefully, his acting career will bloom again after his crime-drama film, "Adverse" is released in 2020.
Wallace Langham – Then
Lab technician David Hodges, played by Wallace Langham, joined the team in season three, spending five seasons as a recurring character before he was promoted to the main cast in season eight. As a germophobic over-explainer, the character of Hodges was not exceptionally charming.
Langham described his character as a "pain in the (butt)" and a suck-up, but the role added narrative texture to the cast as a whole. Langham started off in the acting world in small roles in a bunch of '80s movies. Funnily enough, he used to be credited in acting roles as "Wally Ward." He has come very far since.
