In 2OOO, actor Gary Dourdan, now 45, landed a role on the new series CSI and his future couldn’t have been brighter. But in 2008 his contract was mysteriously not renewed on the hit show, and there were rumors of “personal problems.” Certainly he can be a scary guy – he’s been charged with battery against girlfriends more than once. After he left the show he was arrested several times for drug possession. Now he’s filing suit against Wells Fargo Bank, hoping to stop repossession of his Venice home because he hasn’t made payments. And it’s the second time this year that he has sued a bank for the same situation. A sad story, but evidently drugs have not been kind to the once successful actor.

HERE’S an interesting pair: While Hollywood was in the throes of the Oscars, Lindsay Lohan and former CSI star Gary Dourdan sat side by side at the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. It was purely coincidental, but if there’s a lull in the conversation they could always chat about their various drug incidents. And they have something else in common: these are the only two people visible in the audience who are wearing shades.

GARY DOURDAN: NO JAIL TIME, AND HE'S GETTING HIS CSI JOB BACK!

How lucky can a guy be? First Gary Dourdan was bounced from his CSI show and then on April 28 after Coachella, he was caught with a pharmacy of drugs in his car. He pleaded guilty to possession of coke and ecstasy and got off without a jail sentence. He must complete a drug program, but when he’s finished, ALL charges will be dropped. When the CSI people heard he was in a drug program they decided to give him another chance. If he completes the drug treatment they’ll bring him back next season. Some people have all the luck!
