Rugged and athletic, this Texas-born actor has worked almost exclusively on the small screen. He was just shy of 30 when he landed his first major gig on the short-lived prime-time soap Savannah. After a memorable guest stint on ER during which he made out with Carol Hathaway, Eads starred on another ill-fated series, Grapevine, but CSI is what made him big — although not big enough to land him on magazine covers. Despite CSI's popularity, the handsome brunette has maintained a fairly low profile, even when he and costar Jorja Fox were briefly fired from the show during a 2004 contract dispute.George Eads Fast Facts:
  • Member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, Texas Epsilon chapter.
  • Was so popular in the series premiere of Savannah as the murdered Travis that producers brought him back in flashbacks, and eventually as the twin brother of his original character.
  • Was fired from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and then rehired (along with costar Jorja Fox) in 2004 following a reported contract dispute.
  • Part owner of the Cinespace complex in Los Angeles.
  • "Evel [Knievel] was a true superhero," he told TV GUIDE in 2004 as he promoted a TV movie about the daredevil's life. "He appealed to that sense of adventure in all of us, the part that wishes we could laugh death in the face, but we can't."
