Character Bio | Actor Bio
Dr. Nigel Townsend is a quirky British criminologist/forensics expert who grew up in London. His mother died of cancer a few days after the death of Elvis Presley (she was a huge a fan). Nigel was not on speaking terms with his father for many years, but started communicating with him again. He mentions to Jordan that he regrets having had no contact with him for so long. However, relations with his father continue to be rocky. Nigel ran away from the Royal Navy, where he was a counter intelligence officer. Nigel is sometimes thought to carry a torch for Jordan because of his willingness to bend over backwards to help her solve a case at the risk of losing his job. When he was nearly deported, Nigel plotted a scam marriage to Lily Lebowski, a grief counselor at in the medical examiner's office, but Dr. Garret Macy stepped in, pulled some strings and saved the day. Nigel has amazing computer skills that often produce important clues. He is also known for his dry humor and knowledge of the most obscure random facts.
