Gary Dourdan, star of the mega-hit CBS show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has lost his job on the show due to an ongoing battle with drug addiction.  Producers of the show cut the actor loose after his April arrest for felony possession of heroin, ecstasy and cocaine.

The arrest marked the bottoming-out point of a great actor who has struggled with drug addiction for years.

Production of television shows such as CSI are extremely expensive and as such the producers have little patience for anything that could jeopardize the show, such as a star with a drug problem.

While losing his high-profile position must be devastating, one can only hope that it pushes Dourdan closer to drug rehab and receiving the help that he needs.  Hollywood is a forgiving town, and those who are able to get their lives back on track can find themselves with more acting work than they know what to do with in no time!
