Dissecting CSI's Success Story November 17, 2005 CBS Last season couldn't have been more traumatic for George Eads' character, Nick Stokes. He almost died after being buried alive. "For me, it's becoming clearer, as the season goes on, how he's changed," Eads says about his character. "But the evolution, the maturity of a man, I think, is measured in how he handles himself in adversity. I think he has a sense of calm about him." And perhaps the outward manifestation of his maturity is the moustache. "I simply, kind of, didn't shave my upper lip the couple of sessions," he says. "And then I just didn't realize so many people were paying attention. If it was up to me, I'd keep it. But it's not. And there are reasons that Nick grew it that are reasons other than why I did. But I'm going to leave that up to the fans to think for themselves what those possibilities would be. I know why."
