George Coleman Eads III (born March 1, 1967) is an American actor, best known for his role as Nick Stokes on the CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
George was born in Fort Worth, Texas and grew up in Belton, Texas, 130 miles south of Fort Worth. His father is Arthur Coleman "Cappy" Eads, and his mother is Vivian Baker. George's stepfather, Dudley Baker, is a gynecologist. George graduated from Belton High School in 1985 and from Texas Tech University in 1990, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. To pursue his acting career, he headed to Los Angeles, California, in a pickup truck borrowed from his stepfather. George has a sister, Angela Eads Tekell, who is an attorney in Waco, Texas.
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 co-star Jorja Fox in 2004, when they were fired, allegedly over contract disputes. Eads was reported to be hours late for work on the first day of filming for the fifth season, claiming to have merely overslept, and Fox had allegedly failed to submit a letter to CBS confirming that she would be on time for shooting. The disputes were resolved in just over a week, and the two were rehired by CBS; however, neither actor's salary (reportedly US$100,000 per episode) was raised like the rest of their co-workers. It was also reported that of the two, Fox was approached first to resume her contract with CSI - but she refused until Eads was rehired as well.
Personal quotes
On his character Nick Stokes: "I got a lot of recognition from that role. I mean, like, I'd be in a Burger King getting a burger and the girl at the window goes, 'Hey, you're the guy who kissed Julianna Margulies on ER'."
"Many forms, sizes and colors, I think there are heroes in sports, in life...It would be cliché to say my dad, my granddad. I think I'm a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes."
"Another challenge? Getting up at 6:30 in the morning to go act. It's not fun acting that early in the morning or acting at 4 A.M in the middle of the night or in the morning when you're really tired. That's a challenge. What a luxurious problem to have."
"I think people would be suprised at how much we curse when we screw up. I'm like somebody with Tourette's Syndrome."
"Oh every day I fight for the integrity of the character and where I want it to go. Sometimes I think the writers are better at writing story than dialogue, or maybe I just understand the character better than they do. But they do allow us to collaborate. I just go to see Nick's apartment after 43 episodes, and I had to tell them to get rid of some stuff."
