‘CSI: Miami’ Ended 10 Years Ago: What Have the Stars Done Since?
CBS revived the flagship CSI show last year with CSI: Vegas, but it’s time to reminisce about the second-longest show in the franchise, CSI: Miami. The sun-drenched procedural debuted on September 23, 2002, taking fans of the original CSI out of Sin City and into the Sunshine State.
“We all felt Miami was the most happening place,” CSI executive producer Carol Mendelsohn told the Sun-Sentinel before the show’s debut. “Miami is so rich as a character. There is so much water. There are so many different cultures here all colliding. Its politics are so interesting. All that gives Miami an edge.”
CSI: Miami ran for 10 seasons and 232 episodes, airing its series finale 10 years ago now, on April 8, 2012. And in the intervening decade, the stars of the show have moved onto other projects, some of which are entirely off-screen. Here are updates on all 13 series regulars, starting with the surprising third act of CSI: Miami’s lead star.
David Caruso (Horatio Crane)
Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne)
Procter has popped up on screen a few times since CSI: Miami, narrating HBO Max’s 2020 West Wing special, for example. But now she’s focusing on Ground Breakers, “a nonprofit working to create positive identity opportunities for children, and additionally for adults in compromised circumstances,” according to her website.
Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko)
Rodriguez starred in the last four seasons of Criminal Minds, playing Luke Alvarez, seeing the CBS procedural through to its 2020 series finale. He also recurred on Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and Ordinary Joe, and he mentored the contestants of the HBO Max competition Finding Magic Mike.

More recently, she played Toni Morrison in the 2018 HBO movie Fahrenheit 451, recurred on SEAL Team, and played Contessa Carmilla De Mornay in an episode of What We Do in the Shadows last year.
Rory Cochrane (Tim Speedle)
