Which actor played David Hodges on CSI?

Wallace Langham played David Hodges on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Hodges was introduced as a trace-lab technician and became known for his sharp, sometimes abrasive personality and deep knowledge of laboratory evidence.

Langham first appeared during the show’s third season, and Hodges developed from a recurring laboratory specialist into a main cast member beginning with season eight. His character often handled fingerprints, trace materials, and other delicate evidence that helped investigators connect suspects to crime scenes.

Viewers sometimes confuse Hodges with Greg Sanders, another CSI laboratory specialist played by Eric Szmanda. The two characters worked in similar forensic settings, but Sanders was primarily a DNA analyst and field investigator, while Hodges was especially associated with trace evidence and laboratory work. Langham later reprised the role in CSI: Vegas.
