According to TV Guide, Gary Dourdan just told the producers of CSI that he plans to leave the series. Since the show began in 2000, Dourdan has played the character Warrick Brown.

This is the second major departure this season. As you might recall, Jorja Fox made her final appearance as Sara in November.

The article states:

Meanwhile, CSI execs aren't wasting any time searching for Dourdan's replacement. I'm told producers have put out a casting call for a new male series regular in his late twenties to early thirties to play Ray Santoro, a "handsome, smart and athletic" CSI who transfers from Henderson to join the graveyard shift at the Las Vegas crime lab.
