D.B. Russell (Portrayed by Ted Danson)

Russell's parents were itinerant folk musicians. He previously worked as a CSI in Seattle, Washington. He comes to Las Vegas as the new Night Shift Supervisor, since Catherine Willows and Nick Stokes were demoted as a result of Internal Affairs removing Ray Langston from the team. He is married to Barbara Russell, with a son Charlie who is a student and basketball player at Western Las Vegas University, and a daughter Maya who in turn has a daughter of her own Katelyn.


Russell first appears in the season 12 premiere as the new night shift supervisor, following Catherine's demotion.


Not a lot is known about Russell, except that d.b. may be short for "Diebenkorn" which appears on an envelope that is handed to him by Julie Finlay, the other new "temporary" member of the team.
