Dourdan was born Gary Robert Durdin in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Sandy, a teacher and fashion designer, and Robert Durdin, an entrepreneur and agent for jazz musicians.
Dourdan is the fourth of five children.
When he was six, his 21-year-old brother Darryl died after falling from a balcony in Haiti while "doing research on the family lineage."
The case remains unsolved.
In his youth he moved with his family to Willingboro Township, New Jersey.
During that time, his interests included acting, music, and martial arts.
Later, Dourdan moved to New York City, and he worked as a doorman at a rehearsal studio.
Dourdan played in several bands in New York City in the early 1990s and acted in regional theatre in the New York metropolitan area.
He acted in music videos, including playing Janet Jackson's love interest in the video for her 1993 hit "Again," and had a cameo in the music video "Move the Crowd" by Eric B.. & Rakim.
Debbie Allen cast him as Shazza Zulu on A Different World, based on a tape of him in an avant-garde play.
He has two children: a son, Lyric, with Cynthia Hadden, and a daughter, Nyla, with Jennifer Sutton, whom Dourdan dated from 1995 to 2000.
Dourdan collects classic cars and was featured on Season 1, Episode 3, of Street Customs.
In 1996, Dourdan appeared in the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman episode "Never on Sunday" playing Ziggy, an assistant to Baron Sunday.
In 1997, he played Christie, the first mate and second in command of the spaceship Betty in the film Alien Resurrection.
He also appeared in the films Playing God and Thursday, and on television, he starred in the Dick Wolf production Swift Justice and played a recurring role on the series Soul Food.
Dourdan's most popular role was as a cast member of the series CSI, which debuted on October 6, 2000.
He played analyst Warrick Brown, who has a checkered past fraught with gambling problems.
By working in Las Vegas, the character uses his personal experiences to help his career.
Dourdan joined hip-hop artist DMC (of Run–D.M.C.) onstage at the Live 8 concert in Barrie, Ontario, and sang alongside Macy Gray at the 2005 Emmy Awards.
He is an alternative musician and a record producer.
In 2007, he played the character Cameron, the boyfriend of Rowena Price (Halle Berry), in the film Perfect Stranger.
In 2008, there was media speculation surrounding Dourdan's CSI contract negotiations with CBS.

In the Season 8 finale, Dourdan's character was shot and left for dead at the episode's end.

He was, however, charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
