Here's What The Stars Of The CSI Franchise Are Up To Now

If forensic science procedurals are your bag, then CSI is the franchise for you. The original Crime Scene Investigation spawned multiple spinoffs during its 15 years on air, including Cyber, Miami and NY, and another is now on its way. So some of its longest-serving cast members racked up hundreds of episode credits. But what’ve they been up to since the unit solved its last case?

40. Charley Koontz (Daniel Krumitz)

Charley Koontz was one of five actors who appeared in all 31 episodes of the shortest-lived CSI spin-off, Cyber. After bidding farewell to his character Daniel Krumitz, he’s guested on This Is Us and The Boys. He’s also appeared in the low-budget projects Captain Black and Hollywood Fringe and co-starred in short film Eat Your Heart Out.

39. Shad Moss (Brody Nelson)

The name Shad Moss might not mean much. But chances are you’re more familiar with his rapper alter ego, Bow Wow. After his ever-present stint as Brody Nelson on CSI: Cyber, the multi-talented star dropped several new tracks, appeared in TV movie In Broad Daylight and was cast as Twinkie in the ninth instalment of Fast and Furious. But Moss’ most memorable appearance has surely been as finalist Frog on The Masked Singer.

38. James Van Der Beek (Elijah Mundo)

For a certain generation, James Van Der Beek’ll always be mopey wannabe filmmaker Dawson Leery. Of course, the actor’s worked non-stop since Dawson’s Creek ended and in 2015 added CSI: Cyber to his resume with the role of Elijah Mundo. Following a year of crime investigating, Van Der Beek portrayed the titular DJ in What Would Diplo Do? He also showed up in hit show Pose, graced films Bad Hair and Downsizing and voiced Boris in animation Vampirina.

37. Patricia Arquette (Avery Ryan)

CSI producers achieved quite the coup when they persuaded Patricia Arquette to sign up for the Cyber spinoff in 2015. That very same year she picked up a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Boyhood. Sadly, though, Arquette’s awards success couldn’t prevent the show from getting the chop in 2016. But her own career’s gone from strength to strength thanks to roles in Escape at Dannemora, The Act and Severance as well as a voice part in Toy Story 4.
