LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Gary Dourdan, who co-stars on the CBS television hit "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," has been arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine, heroin and other drugs, police said on Tuesday.
Dourdan, 41, was detained by police in the desert resort town of Palm Springs, about 100 miles east of Los Angeles, after he was found asleep in the driver's seat of a parked car before dawn on Monday, according to a police press release.
The car had been parked on the wrong side of the street with the interior light left on, and Dourdan appeared to be disoriented and "possibly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs" when approached by an officer, the statement said.
The officer found substances believed to be cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy and various prescription drugs, as well as drug paraphernalia, police said.

Fame and Fortune for very little effort...
How come I’M never tested in this manner? ;)
“cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy and various prescription drugs”
I’m thinking that his mugshot won’t look so good!
I don’t watch CSI anymore because Marg Helgenberger & Co moved the plots so far to The Left, but as I recall the series from when I used to watch it, the irony here is that the character he plays is a supposed to be a guy who battles addictions.
Somewhat ironic. Just last night my wife and I watched the show. One of the subplots was that Dourdan (as Brown) was abusing drugs, uppers to get himself going, and downers so he could sleep. Another character, the one called Nick, noticed the problem and told him to get help. Art imitates life?
I mentioned to my wife how bad Dourdan looked, puffy eyed and washed out; but I thought it must be makeup given the nature of the subplot. I think maybe I was wrong.
True.
I don’t think even Visine would get that red out.
Truly a method actor!
I remember when Marg's character said she was pro-choice and Gil quoted some Bible verse and then Catherine got all huffy about it when she was the one who started it.
Yes, but Marg's HOT!
I've always liked William Peterson, especially in "To Live and Die in LA," and I really liked Gary D. in his part in "Alien Resurrection."
I have to admit that I haven't seen the current or last season of CSI because of my work schedule, but I LOVE the earlier seasons, in fact I've got the first 4 seasons on DVD.

Thank you. I don’t watch csi.
CSI isn't so bad. You're right, is NCIS. Mark Harmon's character in one episode stated that abortion-clinic bombers are just as bad a problem as Islamo-fascists. The men in the series are depicted as semi-silly, geeks or macho idiots while the women are all serious, wonderful feminist heroes.
GUILTY! LOL!
Me neither. I just googled his name, because I’ve seen the show occasionally, and wanted to know which cast member he was.
I think the quotation marks should be around the word “star”.
life imitating art? Didn’t his character melt down last season?
