Those Close to Gary Dourdan Express Concern
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, those close to Gary Dourdan have been concerned before the latest incident. ”We have been worried about Gary for some time,” a member the show’s production team told the the newspaper. ”It’s just a shame that he wasn’t able to get the help he needs before this happened.”
Actor Robert David Hall spoke with Newsday.com on Wednesday about the troubled actor’s arrest.
“I actually worked with him yesterday, and everybody was moving on. It’s real hard to get work done when your’re so close to the end of the season .”
He also talked about the support Gary has from the cast and crew. “Almost to a person, I’d say ninety-nine percent of the cast and crew are very hopeful that Gary will be OK, and we love him deeply.”
When questioned about Gary’s departure, Hall didn’t have a concrete answer. “He wants to do other things,” Hall said. “That’s the speculation…You and I and the majority of other people would say, why would anyone leave a hit show but everybody’s different. I can’t comment on why Gary and CBS are parting company, but I was told he has dreams of doing other things. He’s a generous, soulful guy. I read the same stuff you do. I just know him as the guy who gave me a big hug yesterday. The cast and crew want the best for Gary.”
There’s still no official statement from Gary’s camp. He’s due to be arraigned on May 28th. Let’s keep Gary in our thoughts.
