Backstory:
A trace specialist with a knack for brown-nosing, Hodges likes to believe it’s always his analysis that cracks CSI’s cases. He’s also very likely to tell that to anyone who will listen. He was “transferred” from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department for his disrespectful attitude, but he makes sure to mind his manners around Grissom--often a little too much. Sometimes arrogant, sometimes overly fawning, and almost always too sensitive, Hodges' biggest problem is that he just wants to be appreciated for the genius he believes himself to be. He's considered a minor nuisance by his co-workers, who tolerate him because of his skills at trace analysis.


Personal demons:
  • Hodges is the owner of several personal demons, including a miniature Satan, Beelzebub, and Darth Maul.
  • Somewhere in his high school brain, Hodges is threatened by the hip and very popular Greg (CBS's McDreamy), therefore he never misses a shot to insult the former DNA tech.

Defining Cases (or Episodes):
  • In "I Like To Watch" Sara catches Hodges preparing for his closeup.
  • In "Lab Rats" Hodges finds the crucial element that links all four miniatures.
  • In "Empty Eyes", when Hodges decides to answer the victims cellular phone, when her mother calls.
  • In ''You Kill me'' a board game Hodges is developing is introduced.

Deep Dark Secret:
  • Rumor has it he was transferred from the LA crime lab because his old supervisors had personal conflicts with him.
  • An explosion in the DNA lab put Hodges in the hot seat when it was discovered that he was handling the chemicals in that area before the blast.
  • Urinated on one of his professor's car door handles because that professor gave him a B on a paper and he felt he deserved an A.

Trivia:
  • Hodges belongs to 2% of people worldwide with a specific gene that makes him able to detect the smell of cyanide, a normally odorless poison.
  • He has a cat named Kobayashi Maru, which is a reference to a ship in Star Trek.
  • The college Grissom went away to for his entymology lectures was Hodges' alma mater. Username was "Spanky" in his course.
  • Loves classic television shows and board games that are based on them. He won the "Three's Company" board game in an online auction in "Lab Rats". A board game he enjoys (and played with Greg in one episode) is "The Dukes of Hazzard."
  • Actually can do some good investigative work at times and found a recurring theme in the models the miniature killer left.
  • This actor says, "I'm not an asshole, but I play one on TV."
  • Made a board game for which he recorded his co-workers working out crime scenarios.
