CSI: crime scene investigation

“Captain Jim Brass” (Paul Guilfoyle)

A seasoned homicide detective out of New Jersey, Brass spent three years on the LVPD force before being assigned to act as night shift supervisor for the CSI team. When the department was rocked by the on-duty death of rookie Holly Gribbs, Brass took the political fall and was transferred back to homicide while Grissom assumed the position of Supervisor. Relieved of his administrative duties, the Captain continues to work closely with CSI, where his broad understanding of law enforcement and forensics make him a perfect compliment to Grissom and his team.
