Jim Brass (Born January 3, 1953) is a fictional character from the CBS Television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, portrayed by Paul Guilfoyle.
Background
Brass spent 20 years working his way up to homicide detective in New Jersey. He transferred out of Homicide and out of New Jersey 10 years ago and came to Las Vegas. He eventually came to run the CSI department, more as an administrator than as an investigator. Brass has stated that he would want Gil Grissom's CSI Team to investigate his murder. Brass served in the United States Marine Corps.
Brass used to have Grissom's job as the supervisor of the CSI team. But after Holly Gribbs was murdered, he lost his position to Grissom. Brass was then given the position as a homicide detective, usually serving as the legal muscle for the CSI team and the one who does most of the arresting and interrogating of suspects. He's usually the one to draw his gun and doesn't like it when his CSIs try to take dangerous matters like arresting suspects into their own hands. He also gets on gun-hating Grissom's case for not drawing his firearm, even in appropriate situations.
Brass also has an estranged daughter, Ellie Rebecca Brass, who's not biologically his but she doesn't know it. As he explains it to Warrick in the episode Ellie: "Call it the milk man. Ellie doesn't know."
In a the episode A Bullet Runs Through it he tries to counsel Det. Curtis who believes she may have accidently killed another officer in a chaotic shoot out with a gang of drug dealers. He later is stunned and guilt ridden to realize that it was actually him that shot the officer. Later at the officers funeral, his widow approached and when he tried to explain how sorry he was she told him that she'd forgiven him already.
Brass was recently shot by William Cutler, but survived because Grissom, who holds his power of attorney, gave permisson for him to undergo surgery.
