George Eads
George Coleman Eads III (b. March 1 1967 in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American actor, best-known for his role as Nick Stokes on the CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
His father is Arthur Coleman "Cappy" Eads, his mother's name is Vivian Baker. George has a sister, Angela Eads, who works as an attorney in Waco, Texas. His stepfather, Dudley Baker, is a former gynacologist. He graduated from Belton High School in 1985. Eads is a 1990 graduate of Texas Tech University, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He headed to Los Angeles, California in a beat up pickup truck borrowed from his stepfather to pursue his acting career.
Aside from CSI, Eads has also guest-starred on ER, and has worked on several made-for television films, including playing Evel Knievel in the 2004 film Evel Knievel.
George also performed in the made-for-television movie Crowned and Dangerous with Yasmine Bleeth in 1997.
Eads was the subject of unfavorable publicity alongside fellow CSI: Crime Scene Investigation co-star Jorja Fox in 2004, when the actors allegedly wanted pay raises for appearing on the hit show. They were momentarily fired by the CBS network as a result, which prompted them to come back to work without their raises.
