The screenshot was taken from the Season 8 episode "Cockroaches." <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Figurefour|Figurefour]] ([[User talk:Figurefour|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Figurefour|contribs]]) 12:45, 30 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Welcome figurefour! Your screenshot is of ''CSI'', which is a trademarked show. Wikipedia only uses copyrighted images when its impossible to acquire a free one, in this case its pausible that someone will take a picture of Dourdan and release it ino the public domain (like it happened with [[Jorja Fox]]).

== status of the character of Warrick Brown ==
in the finale episode of recent CSI, Warrick Brown was shot on right side of the neck that passed thru left side... does it mean he will be out of CSI future episodes? meaning he will die? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/125.60.243.107|125.60.243.107]] ([[User talk:125.60.243.107|talk]]) 03:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Main page says presumed dead. Jorja Fox was written out in much the same way (I remember the whole furore well, don't comment on THIS if you don't know what I am on about please) and yet Sara is back in series 9...however, if you see [Sara Sidle]'s page, the line "The character will return for Season 9 when she hears the news about Warrick Brown's death." is ominous with regards to Warrick's survival. Feel free to draw your own conclusions, as that is all we can do until the episodes are aired. We've seen people come back from the dead in the past in a whole heap of shows, and perhaps (for instance) Warrick was aware of who the mole was and it was an elaborate sting to pull him out of hiding and into the spotlight (while wearing a bulletproof vest)...obviously that went hideously wrong, but perhaps he was rushed to hospital directly afterwards. As I said above, that's just conjecture, but until the conclusion is aired there is no answer to the question.

Was he in Alien Resurrection? It looked like him. [[Special:Contributions/217.205.224.155|217.205.224.155]] ([[User talk:217.205.224.155|talk]]) 11:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
== Music ==
I just saw him live on French TV singing and playing the guitar. It was pretty cool. He also speaks some French, but with a heavy Haitian accent. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.72.92.4|84.72.92.4]] ([[User talk:84.72.92.4|talk]]) 19:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Race = mixed ancestry?? ==
I've noticed how the article seems to try really, really hard to avoid any mention of race or ethnicity. Is it just because his clearly African-ancestry hair and his no less clearly European-ancestry vivid green eyes have everyone stumped? Or does Gary himself avoid the topic?

== Dourdan's real name??? ==
We have it listed as "Gary Dourdan" but according to MSNBC, it is Robert Gary Dourdan. Unless there is a source saying otherwise, we might want to consider moving this article. [http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/24373001/ here's the link to MSNBC]---'''[[User:Balloonman|<span style="color:purple;">Balloonman</span>]]''' ''[[User talk:Balloonman|<b><sup><small>NO!

== ''Fire''? ==
I noticed that Redbox is now carrying a movie called ''Fire'' starring Dourdan. Anyone have info that could be added to the article? [[User:GoingBatty|GoingBatty]] ([[User talk:GoingBatty|talk]]) 02:45, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

== Content and image removal ==
Based on a report at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&oldid=960609151 the edit warring noticeboard] I've reverted the repeated restoration of the mug shot as primary image and the section titled "Legal issues" for the following reasons:
:*The image is a BLP violation. Per [[WP:MUG|policy]] ''"images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light. This is particularly important for police booking photographs (mugshots), or situations where the subject did not expect to be photographed."''
:*The section titled "Legal issues" was sourced solely to TMZ. The reliability of [[WP:TMZ|TMZ is questionable]], and therefore discussion regarding its use to support disputed content in the article should be discussed prior to the content being restored. If better sources can be found to support the inclusion of the content in a manner that is not [[WP:UNDUE]], then the information can be included.

== Another poor image ==
I removed [[:File:Gary Dourdan Berlin (lightened crop more).jpg]] from the article as, while free, it falls below the standard expected of images, especially for a [[WP:BLP|BLP]]. The image is blurry and the subject has their eyes closed and appears to be grimacing. Per [[MOS:LEAD]] point 1: ''"Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see."'' This image is not "the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works". In addition, [[MOS:LEAD]] point 1 states: ''"Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic"''. We don't need to use a substandard image just because there is one available and image use is covered by [[WP:BLP]].-- [[User:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">Jezebel's '''Ponyo'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span>]]</sup> 16:40, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
