CSI: Miami (Crime Scene Investigation: Miami) is an American police procedural television series, which premiered on September 23, 2002 on CBS. The series is a spin-off of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

The series follows a Miami forensics team headed by Horatio Caine. Against a backdrop of simmering ethnic and cultural tensions, Caine's team probes cases similar to those of their Las Vegas counterparts.

The pilot episode was first broadcast in United States on May 9, 2002 as an episode of CSI and seven seasons have been aired in the United States. The series is produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis and CBS Television Studios.

On May 19, 2009, CBS renewed the show for an eighth season, which premiered in the United States on September 21, 2009 at 10:00 p.m. ET.^[1] RTÉ Two in Ireland broadcasted Season 8 from Thursday February 11, 2010 at 9pm and Channel 5 in the UK will broadcast Season 8 from June 2010.

Production

CSI: Miami is filmed primarily in the United States. Location shots are filmed in Miami-Dade County, Florida while indoor scenes are shot at Raleigh Manhattan Studios in Manhattan Beach, California. Some scenes, mainly outdoor, are filmed mostly in Long Beach, California, as well as portions of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. Beach areas of Downtown Long Beach are often used for other outdoor scenes: Marina Green Park, Rainbow Lagoon Park. The newly constructed high-rise condos there give the presence of being in Miami. The sculptured walkway paying tribute to the old Pike Roller Coaster can be seen in the background in the episode "Under The Influence".

Other locations of Long Beach are used such as the Naples district, where its canals and upscale homes with large boat docks and palm trees give a feel of Miami.

The building that's used in exterior shots of the Miami-Dade Police Department crime lab is actually the Federal Aviation Administration Federal Credit Union headquarters in Hawthorne (on Aviation Boulevard between Marine Avenue and Rosecrans Avenue).

Plot

A Spin-off from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami features an all-star ensemble cast including David Caruso, who plays tough melodramatic Police Lieutenant Horatio Caine, assisted by Southern Beauty, Calleigh Duquesne and their team, including Officer Tim Speedle who was murdered in Season 3, Officer Eric Delko, who departed in Season 8, but will return full-time in Season 9. Assisted by Dr. Alexx Woods, who suffered severe burn-out after working with the Dead, she left in Season 6, and is currently an ER Doctor. Lieutenant Megan Donner, Horatio's original partner left due to the job reminding her too much of her deceased husband. She only appeared for 10 episodes. Ryan Wolfe, a former patrol officer replaced Tim in Season 3, while Officer Natalia Boa Vista filled to void left by Megan Donner almost 4 years after her departure. Dr. Tara Price replaced Alexx, but was then herself arrested, and was replaced in turn by Dr. Tom Loman. Detective Yelina Salas and Sergeant Frank Tripp worked alongside the team together before Yelina left to become a PI, leaving Frank to be partnered with Horatio. Season 8 saw the arrival of Officers Jesse Cardoza and Walter Simmons, the former having worked with Horatio for 5 years as a Homicide Detective, and the latter transferring from Nightshift to replace then-departing Eric Delko. Gary Sinise, Melina Kanakaredes, Carmine Giovinazzo, Vanessa Ferlito & Hill Harper, from CSI: NY and Laurence Fishburne from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, have appeared on CSI: Miami as their CSI and NY Characters.

Characters

Main characters

The Main cast of CSI: Miami Seasons 1-8: (From L-R: Echikunwoke, Alexander, Milos, Togo, Procter, Caruso, Delaney, Rodriguez, Linn, LaRue, Cochrane, Cibrian and Miller

• CSI Level 3 Day Shift Supervisor: Lieutenant Horatio "H" Caine (David Caruso) is the head of the Miami-Dade crime lab, a former NYPD homicide detective, a forensic analyst, and former bomb squad officer. Horatio is known to be very protective of his team, often going out of his way to assist them when needed. He is an outstanding marksman, and does not hesitate to use deadly force. He also very often goes to extraordinary lengths to save evidence or a potential victim. His demeanor is serious, direct, and to the point. Horatio appears to have a good sense for how to communicate with children who have just experienced traumatic ordeals. Horatio uses the "stay-calm" approach while comforting victims, killers, etc. Horatio is usually seen wearing a pair of sunglasses. Horatio was briefly married to Marisol Delko Caine (Alana de la Garza); the marriage ended when she was murdered by a Mala Noche sniper in "Rampage." In "Dangerous Son," Horatio discovered that he has a sixteen-year-old son named Kyle Harmon (Evan Ellingson) (from an affair he had while working undercover, under the name of John Walden) The episode "In The Wind" revealed that Kyle is in Afghanistan. In, "Going Ballistic," Horatio is shot, and it is later revealed in the episode, "Resurrection," that he faked his death in order to stop a sale of illegal bullets. His formation of the team in 1997 is depicted in flashbacks in the episode "Out of Time," shortly after he became the head of the new investigative unit swiftly renamed CSI.
• CSI Level 3 Day Shift Assistant Supervisor: Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter) is a ballistics specialist. Calleigh's slight build, blonde good looks, and southern belle accent often lead others to underestimate her, but she is a brilliant and a dedicated scientist. Her father is an alcoholic attorney who has tried to rehabilitate himself several times. She follows the letter of the rules at all times. In "Ambush," a website seems to be stalking her and it is later discovered that the person behind it is Dan Cooper whom she was involved in catching for stealing deceased CSI Tim Speedle's credit card. In "All In," she is kidnapped and forced to help cover up a crime scene, but is later saved by her fellow CSIs. In "Smoke Gets in Your CSI's," Calleigh was rushed to the hospital for smoke inhalation when she and Ryan Wolfe escaped from a burning house with a dead body. In "Seeing Red," Calleigh shot Eric Delko, and in "Out of Time," Eric is in critical condition and a flashback occurs back to 1997 and Calleigh's first day on the job.
• CSI Level 3: Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo) was working as a police officer at the time he was hired for the lab virtually on the spot by Horatio Caine, who noted Ryan's immaculate care of his gun with approval, likely due to Wolfe having OCD. He first appeared in "Under the Influence" but did not become a regular cast member until "Hell Night." Ryan was replacing fallen CSI Tim Speedle, who died in the line of duty as a direct result of his poor gun maintenance. Ryan was impaled in the eye with a nail gun in "Nailed." At the end of the episode "Burned," Ryan was fired for being directly linked to a murder suspect and not disclosing it to the department. Seeking jobs as both a crime-scene expert, an expert witness for the defense, a firearms range technician, and applying to work as an ME Investigator while applying for reinstatement, he was later reinstated. In "Going Ballistic," Ryan receives a text message saying, "It is done," right after Horatio is shot and presumed dead. It is revealed in the seventh season premiere that he was asked by Horatio to assist in setting up Horatio's own execution, so he could go undercover. At the end of "Target Specific" and throughout the episode "Wolfe In Sheep's Clothing," Ryan was kidnapped and was forced by the Russian Mob to cover up a crime.
• MDPD Homicide Detective: Sergeant Frank Tripp (Rex Linn) is a Texas-born homicide detective who accompanies the team to the crime scenes. He has a good working relationship with all the CSIs. He is divorced with three kids, revealed in "Dispo Day." After passing the Sergeant's Exam in the beginning of "Dangerous Son," Tripp was required to spend some time in uniform on a patrol rotation, but soon returned to the homicide unit and plainclothes in "Guerillas in the Mist." Throughout the early part of the series, Frank and Horatio didn't get along very well, but recently they are often seen together at crime scenes. After Ryan Wolfe gets fired and later re-instated, Tripp and Ryan appear to be at odds. In "Chain Reaction," he gets Ryan to fingerprint a prison phone and tells him that he's his "favorite little dust monkey" in an attempt to insult him.
• CSI Trainee: Natalia Boa Vista (Eva LaRue) is a DNA analyst who upon first arriving, was only allowed to work on cold or unsolved cases due to the restrictions of her federal grant. She escaped an abusive marriage before joining the department, when her association with a society for battered women was key to helping the team solve the murder of a woman. At the end of season four, it is revealed that Natalia is an FBI informant in the lab, assigned to help build a case against Horatio Caine and his team. Natalia was revealed to be the mole in the lab. In season 5, much to her distress, she discovered her abusive ex-husband Nick Townsend (Rob Estes) was out of prison when he served her with a restraining order and he was working for a private company that cleans up crime scenes. The two shared a tense relationship until Nick's murder, a crime for which Natalia was briefly considered the prime suspect. In "Darkroom," Ryan Wolfe finds a stash of photographed girls and Natalia discovers that one of the pictures is her sister Anya and DNA from a crime scene reveals that Anya is indeed one of the women that the CSIs are looking for. In "Tunnel Vision," Natalia was finally certified to carry a firearm and she shot a suspect in self-defense for the first time.
• CSI Art Theft Specialist: Walter Simmons (Omar Benson Miller) a Louisiana native and art theft specialist who transfers over from the night shift to join Horatio's team. His first appearance was in episode, "Bolt Action." He became part of the main cast in episode, "Dude Where's My Groom?."
• CSI Level 2: Jesse Cardoza (Eddie Cibrian) was a former LAPD officer, who transferred back to the Miami-Dade Police Department. In "Out of Time," a flashback occurs back to 1997, depicting Cardoza's departure from the Miami-Dade Police Department and transfer to Los Angeles, following in the conclusion of a case which led to Horatio Caine becoming head of the new investigative unit that became CSI. He returns in "Hostile Takeover," as a member of the team, taking Eric Delko's place. When he returns, the lab is attacked and he is taken hostage along with three other people, but he was rescued by Horatio carrying out the gunman's unique request in exchange for their lives. After that in the episode "Show Stopper" there was a discrepancy in department Hummer mileage log, Jesse first didn't explain the reason but after that in locker room he explained to Calleigh that he was following a woman and she was in danger,he said he was on an investigation in L.A. a woman was murdered and the killer was her husband but his lawyer brought him freedom, and the killer is now in Miami. After that he said the killer also killed his wife and that is the reason why he transferred back.
• CSI Level 3: Eric Delko (Adam Rodríguez) was a fingerprint and drug identification expert of Cuban and Russian descent. He was also the team's underwater recovery expert. In, "Shattered," Delko's job is endangered when he is arrested for drug possession, but it is discovered that the marijuana was for his sister, Marisol Delko Caine (Alana de la Garza), to ease the pain of her leukemia treatments, who was murdered by a Mala Noche sniper after she married Horatio Caine. In, "Man Down," while trying to rescue a woman kidnapped by escapee Clavo Cruz (Gonzalo Menendez), Delko was shot in the head by one of his henchmen and critically wounded. He survived and went back on the team, but suffered some memory loss. In, "And How Does That Make You Kill?," Eric told his psychiatrist's of his affection for CSI Calleigh Duquesne. In, "The DeLuca Motel," it is discovered that he has been staying in a motel because someone is following him. They found out that his real father is from Cuba and is trying to kill him. In, "Seeing Red," Eric was trying to help his father and is seen escaping a gun silo, only to be shot at by friend Calleigh. He survives and is shown waking up in a hospital room in "Out of Time." Actor Adam Rodríguez did not return full time for the eighth season and was replaced by former CSI Jesse Cardoza (Eddie Cibrian). Delko shows that he is leaving by telling Calleigh that he is going to leave the CSI team because life is too short. Before he drives away at the end, he gets a note from Horatio saying,"I'll always be here".^[2] On Friday 19 February Adam Rodríguez announced on his twitter page, his character will return to the CSI Lab once again as a series regular. ^[3]
• Medical Examiner: Dr. Tara Price (Megalyn Echikunwoke) was the day-shift medical examiner who replaced Dr. Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander) in the seventh season. Dr. Tara Price made her debut in, "Won't Get Fueled Again." She became part of the main cast credits in, "Bombshell." In, "Cheating Death," CSIs Eric Delko and Ryan Wolfe play a joke on her which almost results in the entire case being compromised. In the end of "Divorce Party," Tara is shown to steal a bottle of Oxycodone (an opioid analgesic medication) from a victim in the morgue and blames it on Julia Winston. Also, Horatio Caine has his son Kyle working as an intern for her after he gets into trouble. In "Dissolved," Ryan Wolfe confronts Tara about the stolen pills in her locker. When Julia takes the autopsy hostage because of what she did, Tara is arrested. Actress Megalyn Echikunwoke's image is removed from the main cast credits after "Dissolved."

• Medical Examiner: Dr. Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander) was a Miami-Dade medical examiner. Alexx began her medical career in New York as a physician and became a medical examiner with the CSI team after moving to Miami for personal reasons. She is a very emotional person, and is more of a "mother" figure for the CSI team, showing great concern for them. She also often talks to the dead bodies in a comforting and caring tone as she examines them. She is married with a young son and daughter with former husband Andrew Kalish, who was murdered in an episode early on in the series. In "Rock and a Hard Place," her son is named the prime suspect in a murder; this causes Alexx to rethink her job in the M.E.'s Office (and her place on the team as well as her friendship with the other CSI's), and she quits, saying to Horatio, "I need to spend more of my time taking care of the living." Horatio responds by saying that should she wish to return, her post would be open for her. Alexx returned in "Smoke Gets in Your CSI's" as a part time ER Doctor at Dade General.
• MDPD Homicide: Detective Yelina Salas (Sofia Milos) was a Colombian homicide detective frequently attached to CSI investigations, and the widow of Horatio's brother Raymond Caine. She later starts a relationship with IAB Sergeant Rick Stetler, Horatio's personal nemesis. After her husband Raymond was revealed to still be alive, she left with him and their son for Brazil, where they planned to keep a low profile for Ray's safety. She reappears in the fifth season premiere, "Rio." Horatio and Eric fly to Rio de Janeiro to hunt down Antonio Riaz, who murdered Horatio's wife and Delko's sister Marisol. While in Rio, Riaz kills Raymond Caine and is enlisting Ray Jr. into drug running in the shantytowns of the area. Yelina and Ray Jr. wind up back in Miami, and Yelina goes into business as a private investigator revealed in "Burned." In "Dangerous Son," Yelina investigates a suspect for Horatio, and she locates a birth certificate that reveals that the parolee is in fact Horatio's biological son. Yelina also returns for the seventh season premiere, going undercover to help Horatio capture enemy Ron Saris. She was kidnapped in the episode, "Seeing Red," but was rescued by Horatio.
• CSI Level 3: Tim "Speed" Speedle (Rory Cochrane) was a trace evidence and impressions expert; originally from Syracuse, New York, who worked for the St. Petersburg PD in 1997, and had a degree in biology from Columbia University. Speed was killed in the line of duty in, "Lost Son;" he had not maintained his firearm diligently and was shot by a suspect when it misfired during a shoot-out. The character was written out at the request of actor Rory Cochrane, who wanted to pursue a career in film and reportedly disliked the long, arduous shooting schedules for CSI: Miami.^[4] The actor later reprised his role as a hallucination of Eric Delko in "Bang, Bang, Your Debt." It was revealed in "Out of Time," that Jesse Cardoza knew Tim Speedle, who was working for the St. Petersburg PD in 1997, and Cardoza asked Horatio if he wanted him to be part of his new team.
• CSI Level 3 Day Shift Assistant Supervisor: Lieutenant Megan Donner (Kim Delaney) was Horatio's predecessor who went on indefinite leave from her job following the death of her husband. She briefly returned to work alongside Horatio, who had since been promoted to head investigator of the CSI unit, but later resigned, finding the pressure of the job to now be more than she could handle. Actress Kim Delaney's character was reportedly written out due to the lack of chemistry between her and Caruso.^[5]

Recurring characters
