Full Gary Dourdan Biography
Gary Dourdan (born Gary Durdin, December 11, 1966 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American actor, widely known for portraying Warrick Brown on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Dourdan and his family moved to Willingboro, New Jersey when he was in his youth. At this time his interests included acting, music and martial arts. Later Dourdan moved to New York City and worked as a doorman at a rehearsal studio where he met some of Manhattan's promising young artists.
Green-eyed Dourdan got his first break when Debbie Allen cast him as Shazza Zulu on A Different World based on a tape of him in an avant-garde play. He had a recurring role on the Showtime series Soul Food until he nabbed the part of Warrick Brown on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He was also the host of a BET Spoken Word show entitled the Lyric Cafe.
Dourdan was briefly married to Roshumba Williams, and he has a daughter, Nyla and a son, Lyric from other relationships. He recently joined DMC on stage at Live 8 at Park Place in Barrie, Ontario, and also co-sang the lyrics to the theme song of The Jeffersons at the 2005 Emmy Awards.
He is currently set to play Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott, on a biographical film on the latter's life.
He played a small part in the episode Never on Sunday (Lois & Clark episode) in the TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
While getting his acting career off the ground, he modeled mens clothing for Marithe and Francois Girbaud. He appeared in many of their print and catalog pieces.
It is a well-known fact that Dourdan appears to be of tall stature on television, but in real life, he is below average height. This was parodied on a episode of Reno 911!.
TMZ.com reported on July 17, 2007: "Clad in leather biker gear, Dourdan violently grabbed our photog outside Hyde, who the actor had mistaken for another guy, and slammed him to the pavement several times, sending his head bouncing into concrete over and over again -- all while his camera continued to roll." Subsequently, Dourdan and his entourage returned to the scene and chased the photog, forcing him to flee in a cab. |
