CSI: Miami

CSI: Miami is a spinoff of the popular CBS network series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Like the original CSI, CSI: Miami is a police procedural about a team of forensic scientists. It is set in Miami, Florida in the present. Filmed in the United States, the series has been exported to over a dozen countries worldwide.

The team investigate mysterious and unusual deaths to determine who killed them and how, and also solve other serious crimes such as rape.

The main characters include the head of the Miami-Dade crime lab, Horatio “H.” Caine (played by David Caruso), a forensic analyst. Caine's primary team includes:

Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter), ballistics specialist; originally from Darnell, Louisiana, she is fluent in Spanish and has a bachelor's degree in physics from Tulane University.
Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez), fingerprint and drug identification expert; a Miami native with a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Miami, fluent in Spanish and Russian. Delko typically acts as the team's frogman when the situation arises.
Timothy "Speed" Speedle (Rory Cochrane), trace evidence and impressions expert; originally from Syracuse, New York, with a degree in biology from Columbia University, Speed is killed in the line of duty in the third season premiere, "Lost Son", when his sidearm malfunctions during a shoot-out.
Alexx Woods, M.D. (Khandi Alexander), Miami-Dade coroner. She has an eccentric habit of talking to the dead bodies as she examines them, usually as a way of giving them comfort in death.
Yelena Salas (Sofia Milos), a homicide detective frequently attached to CSI investigations, and the widow of Horatio's brother.
Kim Delaney appeared as Megan Donner during the early part of the first season, but her character was written out due to the lack of chemistry between her and Caruso.
