Adam Rodriguez

When a sports injury sidelined Adam Rodriguez in high school, his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player were put aside and he turned to acting. His break came when a friend of his father's helped Rodriguez win a guest-starring role on "NYPD Blue."

Rodriguez is also familiar to television audiences from his roles in "Brooklyn South," on CBS, and "Roswell." His additional television credits include "All Souls," "Resurrection Boulevard," "Felicity" and "Ryan Caulfield: Year One." He starred in the feature films "Bohica," "Let The Game Begin," "Love and Debate," "Cielito Lindo," "Take," "Impostor," as well as in Lionel Richie's video "I Call It Love" and Jennifer Lopez's video for "If You Had My Love." He was featured in People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue and in People en español magazine's "25 Most Beautiful People." He will be seen this year starring in Tyler Perry's new film "I Can Do Bad All by Myself," and also alongside Chris Klein and 50 Cent in the independent feature “Caught in the Crossfire.”

Rodriguez divides his time between New York and Los Angeles. His birth date is April 2.

Eric Delko

Delko is a first generation Cuban, having crossed the Florida Straits while still in his mother’s womb. Upon arrival, his Russian-born father changed the family name from Delektorsky to Delko, and christened his newborn son Eric. Delko is a natural athlete, having graduated with a swimming scholarship from the University of Miami. After accepting the fact that his dreams of Olympic gold would never be realized, he turned his attentions to the police academy – and to his father’s great disappointment – offered his skills to the MDPD underwater recovery department. Delko was Horatio Caine’s first appointment upon taking over the crime lab, having been impressed with the younger man’s skills during a bomb scare. Putting his buddy and colleague Tim Speedle’s death in perspective has been a challenge for Delko, whose initial response to the loss was to immerse himself in anonymous sexual encounters. Despite his freewheeling nature – his love of women, Miami’s non-stop nightlife and fast cars – he is an invaluable asset to the team, especially with his strong ties to Miami’s Cuban-American community.
