Henry Andrews (CSI)
Encyclopedia
Henry Andrews is a fictional character
on the TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
, portrayed by Jon Wellner
.
specialist of the Las Vegas Forensics Laboratory, who mainly deals with identifying toxic substances which have undergone human consumption. He has an impressive knowledge of lethal
substances, including, but not limited to: illegal drugs, alcoholic beverage
s, poison
s, and hazardous gases
(such as carbon dioxide
). He constantly exhibits a thorough understanding of the toxins' properties and effects.
He originally worked for days (as he mentions in the episode Iced) but kept 'getting moved around' by Ecklie. In the later seasons he is seen more frequently working graveyard, so it can be assumed he's acquired a permanent position there. In the episode Lab Rats he has a prominent role and an appreciable amount of screen time as opposed to his previous, short-lived appearances. Wendy refers to him as one of Hodges' "lemmings". It is construed that Hodges knows a fair deal of information about Henry's personal life, as the dialog below illustrates.
Henry: I have a lot of work to do.
Hodges: You mean IMing your Icelandic pen pal who thinks you look like Warrick Brown because that's the picture you posted?
Henry: How...?
Hodges: I just know.
Henry is unmarried, which he voices on several occasions. He offers to marry fellow lab tech, fingerprint analyst Mandy Webster, jokingly. He goes on to reveal that his grandmother lives in a retirement home in Boca Raton, Florida, where he is shuffleboard champion. He refers to himself as a lady killer amongst the senior citizens.
By season eight, the lab technicians have superficially formed a suggested rat pack, and provide a large amount of comic relief. Like in Lab Rats, where they take center stage, You Kill Me is focused around the group, with Hodges once again acting as their ring leader. In each of the scenarios, Hodges personifies Henry as neurotic and easily intimidated, which is a rather accurate portrayal. Henry admits to being frightened of Detective Jim Brass.
Henry often attempts to be comical or witty without avail, which is amusing in its own right. He is intelligent, friendly, and good-natured. On occasions he appears high-strung. He is analytical and digests information well, which helps him draw upon accurate conclusions and understand facets of human nature.
According to the season ten episode "Appendicitement" Henry's birthday is December 3.
Henry has also attempted to ask a date with Wendy Simms
a fellow lab technician, however Hodges fancies Wendy and tries to partly successfully attempts to stop him by mechanically damage his car. But this doesn't stop Henry as he hinted that Hodges wants to prevent him from asking Wendy out on a date. When Henry goes to his locker, his body literally gets stuck to it and accuses Hodges of putting glue all over his locker, when actually the real culprit is Wendy. She thought she liked Henry but realises that Hodges is who she wants, hence gluing Henry's locker in an attempt for him to cancel their date, in which he does. Wendy tries to confess to gluing the locker, but Hodges decides to takes the blame for her and this makes her realise that Hodges is the one she wants. This leads to her passionately kissing him.
