Conrad Ecklie is a recurring fictional character on the television series CSI played by Marc Vann,
He is a former dayshift supervisor who became Assistant Director of the Crime Lab in season 5. He is known for his strict regulations and sticks to them at all times. He also appears to be quite ambitious and career-minded, and a vigorous self-promoter. Ecklie and Grissom have a very rocky relationship throughout the series, mainly stemming from Grissom's perception that Ecklie was more concerned with advancing his own prestige and power rather than being a fair investigator. In several episodes city leaders can be seen praising Ecklie, especially when he is promoted to Assistant Director much to Grissom's chagrin. Ecklie, in his pursuit to spite Grissom, split the CSI team in the middle of season 5. But in season 5 finale "Grave Danger", he set aside their personal differences and helped the team locate and rescue Nick Stokes.
Grissom's animosity toward Ecklie is shared by several other members of the night shift, including Sara Sidle who was nearly fired for insubordination when she yelled at Ecklie in a moment of anger. Catherine Willows, though not an admirer of Ecklie's, has criticized Grissom on several occasions because his indifference to office politics has allowed Ecklie to advance beyond him.
