Wallace Langham as David Hodges
++Biography...
David Hodges is a lab technician who was transferred to the Las Vegas crime lab from the Los Angeles crime lab, where his superiors felt he had an attitude problem. While Grissom was on sabbatical, Hodges signed up for an online class that Grissom was teaching. Hodges plays an important role in the miniature killer case when he, with the help of his fellow lab technicians, whom he recruited, links bleach as a common factor in the killings. He is currently working on a board game called "Lab Rats" similar to that of "Clue" in which players try to use evidence to find out how a murder is committed.

Robert David Hall as Dr.Al Robbins
++Biography...
His date of birth is unknown but appears to be in his 50's.Medical examiner (coroner) for the Las Vegas Police Department. Works in close conjunction with Grissom's team, doing many of the autopsies. He's extremely good at his job.Little is known of his personal life, except that he walks with a limp and uses a cane. He does, however, have an affinity toward coffee; he requistioned his own coffee machine and makes macchiatos. However, it's his secret, and he wouldn't even let Grissom leave the autopsy room with the coffee mug.
He likes the rock music that the daytime coroner, Gary Telgenhoff, records on his off time. Catherine didn't care for it though...
He's mostly seen in the autopsy room, so is consequently garbed in smocks. Otherwise, he appears to wear normal street clothes, nothing out of the ordinary.Wears reading glasses for close-up work.

Jorja Fox as Sara Sidle
++Biography...
Sara Sidle, until recently, was an elements analyst at the Las Vegas Police Department Crime Lab. Born on September 17, 1971, in California, Sara Sidle grew up in a B&B run by her two hippie parents. Always analytical, Sara would present them with business plans and suggestions for the business.
Despite the hippie background, the Sidle home was abusive and violent. At the age of nine, her mother, Laura, killed Sara's father and was sent to a mental institution. Sara spent the rest of her childhood in the foster care system. It is said that she had a rocky start in the system, was unreachable and angry, and was moved around a lot in her first year. Despite these circumstances, or perhaps because of them, she focussed her energy on schoolwork. She graduated high school early, at age sixteen, and left for the east coast to attend Harvard on a scholarship, where she majored in Physics.
After Harvard, she moved back to Los Angeles, and began moonlighting nights at the county coroner's office. She eventually joined the LA CSI team and began working as a full time investigator. In 1999, she met Gil Grissom at a Forensic Academy Conference in California. Many years later, she admitted that she stayed behind to ask so many questions about archaeology because she was trying to get up the nerve to ask him to dinner.
In 2000, Grissom asked Sara to come to Las Vegas, where he was the LVPD Crime Lab night shift supervisor. One of his CSI's, Warrick Brown was under investigation after the death of newcomer Holly Gribbs, and Grissom needed Sara to run the internal investigation. Sara was met with a chilly welcome from the team, but she soon showed herself to be fair, unbiased and a talented investigator, and the team was happy to have her come on board permanently.
Sara's obsession with her work rivalled Grissom's, to the point that he became concerned for her. He mentioned that she barely slept, she read forensic journals or listened to her police scanner for fun, and didn't seem to like anything else. Despite the fact that part of Sara's increasing bitterness was based in their unresolved attraction, she took his advice to heart, and briefly dated paramedic Hank Pettigrew. This relationship ended when she found out that he had another girlfriend.
After this, Sara became increasingly more abrupt and argumentative, especially with Grissom, and seemed to be in a self-destructive spiral. In 2005, she was pulled over at a roadblock and was arrested for driving under the influence. Because the blood alcohol limit had so recently been lowered, she was not charged, but Grissom was informed. Shortly thereafter, she had a very public confrontation with Catherine, a senior CSI, which resulted in her suspension. This appeared to trigger Grissom to act, and he asked her to explain what was happening to her. Sara revealed her violent childhood and her mother's killing of her father, and that conversation seemed to turn a corner in their relationship.
In 2006, it was revealed that she was in a romantic relationship with Grissom that had obviously been going on for some time. Their fellow CSI's were kept uninformed until late 2007, when Sara was kidnapped by the Miniature Killer, and Grissom explained the killer's motivation as revenge to "kill the only person he ever loved." Sara escaped but was badly injured, and was found by colleagues Nick Stokes and Sophia Curtis. Upon returning to work, she moved to the Swing Shift, so she and Grissom could still be together without violating lab policy. While physically healing, Sara seemed to be increasingly ground down by the constant scenes of death and abuse that made up her daily life. At this point Grissom proposed marriage, which she accepted delightedly. This seemed to bring her out of her PTSD-induced depression, but only temporarily. A month later, Sara decided to leave her job at the crime lab after a series of emotionally harrowing cases, culminating in the return of a youthful murderer who had previously "run her in circles". In a tearful letter, she explained to Grissom that she had to leave to bury her ghosts.
Sara's character arc is a cyclical journey through personal darkness, and finally into the acceptance of genuine love and hope. At first she appears preternaturally energized and eager to please, but this facade eventually wears off, and her old scars revealed. She is unable to make any deep human connection, and sets herself up for failure when she attempts to, seeking approval from unavailable or authoritative men. it is only when she opens up her past story that she begins the long process of healing, and in doing so, she helps Grissom more than she seems to realize: he becomes much more comfortable and open himself. Sara's departure in the middle of Season Eight does not seem to be a return to her old pattern of running away, but a positive decision to revisit her past and come to terms with it, so that she can move forward.
Sara is occasionally heard from indirectly, as she and Grissom talk by phone, or her ex-colleagues ask after her. It is speculated that she will return in at least two episodes of the next season.

Eric Szmanda as Greg Sanders
++Biography...
Lab technician Greg Sanders is the junior member of the Las Vegas CSI team. Several seasons he's trapped inside his lab, where he proves great ability and a sharp mind, but flirts with trouble when his playful 'puerile' side risks clashing in word or deed with Grissom's dry precision, or tempts him to engage in friendly rivalry with the other sleuths, especially fellow young men Nick Stokes and Warrick Brown. At least he is allowed, on a part time basis, to join the on the field, collecting evidence instead of always only having to analyze it.
In later seasons Greg took the field test and officially became a field man, he is no longer in his lab. He has proved to be a very insightful CSI and has been beneficial to the team. Although, like in the lab, he still has a knack for getting himself in trouble, in one episode entitles Fannysmackin he gets himself into quite a bit of trouble by trying to stop the beating of a man and ends up getting severely beaten himself. During this he accidentally hit one of the people doing the beatings and killed him. Greg eventually (though a few episodes time) got out of the trouble he was in and got back to a normal routine.

George Eads as Nick Stokes
++Biography...
Nick Stokes is a Level 3 CSI from Dallas, Texas. Born August 18, 1971, he is the youngest of seven children born to his father, a Judge and mother, a prosecution lawyer. Nick was expected to go into Law, and left the family fold to go into Law Enforcement instead, after taking his degree at Texas A&M University.
Nick is generally considered the most low-maintenance of the crew, with little drama in his life, and little need for attention. He is a solid, reliable worker and witness for the prosecution, but becomes driven to make a case stick when angered or appalled. Perhaps because he is easily taken for granted, the team is not at all prepared when he is kidnapped and imprisoned in a glass coffin, containing a camera through which his terror and agony can be watched. On shooting out the single light to save the battery that also runs oxygen into his coffin, he inadvertently lets in thousands of fire ants. He is found by Warrick and Grissom barely alive, but eventually makes a full recovery.
More than any other character, Nick represents the emotional heart of the series. He is deeply empathic and does not hide his feelings, especially from the families of victims of crime. He reveals that he was molested as a child by an uncle, which may explain in part his need to offer emotional comfort to those in pain - and to help put abusive criminals behind bars. His best friend is Warrick Brown, a fellow CSI, with whom he has a brotherly rivalry and affection.
Nick occasionally dates, and is friendly and attentive to the women in his life, but doesn't appear to be in any steady relationship during the series. In the final episode of the current series, he is shown considering asking out the waitress of the crews' regular cafe, but he is forestalled by gunshots outside.
