Emily Proctor Miami CSI

For the past three seasons, Emily Procter has helped make CSI:Miami a top ten staple for CBS. She combines her innate talent, beauty, and Southern charm into her role as Detective Calleigh Duquesne.
Though investigating crime scenes may not be as cutthroat an environment as the White House, audiences also know Procter as attorney Ainsley Hayes who she portrayed on the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning The West Wing for two seasons.
Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, Procter was no stranger to television before opting to make the move to Los Angeles. While still completing her degree in Journalism and Dance at East Carolina University, she worked as a weather anchor at WNCT in Greenville.
It wasn’t until she graduated and moved to L.A. that she began to garner some big screen credits including Leaving Las Vegas with Nicolas Cage and Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise. In 1998, Procter landed her first starring role in the critically acclaimed HBO telefilm Breast Men opposite Chris Cooper and David Schwimmer, with whom she later worked with on Friends. She has since co-starred in the New Line drama Body Shots.
When not filming, Procter enjoys interior decorating, performing with her new band, playing poker, and working with various charities for the homeless.
