CSI: crime scene investigation

“Nick Stokes” (George Eads)

Equal parts charm and chops, Stokes was more than happy to take Warrick Brown on in a friendly competition to reach the level of CSI-3. With his 100th cleared case behind him, Nick is self-assured and focused, yet not above being teased by his colleagues by his revolving-door reputation with women. He's very serious about this job, and does it well, but Grissom still rides him to be better.

Born and raised in Texas, Eads’ immense fondness for playing “make believe” while growing up should have been a good indicator that he would not end up with a career in sales, which was his initial intention.

After high school, Eads entered Texas Tech, intending to make good use of his public relations major and the degree he had earned. He put in his time driving around Texas making sales cold calls, but when the opportunity to teach drama presented itself, Eads took the job at a local middle school in Waco. He eventually left teaching to enter an associates degree program in acting.

He worked to hone his acting skills, signed with an agent, and eventually made the move to Los Angeles in 1994 with the money he had saved doing commercial work.

Eads’ television film credits include The Spring, Broken Crown, The Ultimate Lie, and most recently, Second String, starring Oscar-winner Jon Voight, in which Eads played a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. He has appeared as a guest star on Strange Luck, as well as multiple episodes of E.R. Eads starred as the ill-fated “Travis” in the first episode of the Aaron spelling drama Savannah, but after the character was killed off, Eads returned to the series as Travis’ twin brother “Nick” for the remainder of the one-season run. He went on to star in the second incarnation of the series Grapevine.

Eads’ feature film credits include Only in America and Dust to Dust.

Eads resides in Los Angeles. His birth date is March 1.
