Additional Information
Starring Gary Sinise as Mac Taylor, the head of the New York City crime lab, comes the sixth season series in executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer's CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) franchise. A Chicago native, Mac had gotten his police job as the result of his bravery under fire as a U.S. Marine; and like most of major CSI characters, he harbored quite a few personal demons, most of them stemming from the death of his wife in the Twin Towers on 9/11. Taylor's team of forensic specialists included Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes), an outspoken female cop who'd pulled herself up from a murky background; Don Flack (Eddie Cahill), Yonkers-born scion of a family of cops; Mac's protΘgΘ Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo; Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper), a Harlem native who'd graduated from college at 18 and became a licensed surgeon at 24; and flirtatious, streetwise forensic analyst Aidan Burn (Vanessa Ferlito).
