CSI: NY/Characters

The Whole Cast
A bunch of attractive scientists./cops. This is a CSI spin-off after all.

Mac Taylor
Retired Marine, Atonement Detective and 9/11 widower. He's the man in charge, though he occasionally has to deal with less than understanding higher-ups, for whom his Determinator personality can cause problems. His background is a mystery to most of his colleagues, even Stella, with whom he is close friends, but in the last few seasons it has been coming back to haunt him. He formerly dated Peyton, one of the medical examiners with a ridiculously bad British accent despite her actor actually being born in Britain. She has now left the show.
