"CSI" star Gary Dourdan has already been in the spotlight for his troubled personal life, but now he is drawing attention for different reasons. The "CSI" star filed for bankruptcy on Aug. 30.
According to TMZ which got a hold of the bankruptcy filing, Dourdan has just over $1.8 million in assets, but has $1.73 million in debt.
A large chunk, specifically $1,689,704, is owed to various banks, one of which holds his mortgage.
The "CSI" star claims his monthly disposable income is just $321, according to TMZ. He allegedly makes $14,883 per month, but $14,562 goes to bills. He "anticipates major acting roles" in the future, however, which will help him pay off his debt.
The bankrupt Dourdan filed an injunction on Aug. 30 to prevent Wells Fargo from putting his Venice, Calif., home up for auction, CBS 42 reported. That same day, he filed bankruptcy papers.
His financial issues first surfaced in 2010 when he was sued over credit card debt, according to CBS 42.
Dourdan has had legal woes for the past few years, he was arrested last year after a physical altercation with his girlfriend. Despite the trouble he's had finding a solid acting role, he says he has things lined up and is optimistic about crawling out from under all that debt.
