Career Highlights
Best known for his role as Special Agent David Sinclair on CBS’s long-running crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Ballard has built a diverse résumé over two decades. He broke out in the late 1990s with guest appearances on Buffy the Vampire Slayer before landing a starring role on ABC’s crime-math procedural Numb3rs from 2005 to 2010. His easygoing charm and solid screen presence have earned him roles in film, television and streaming series alike, including recent voice work in animated features and guest spots on hit streaming dramas.
From Panels To Parties: Convention Moments
The actor’s gratitude post follows a busy spring filled with fan engagements. Over the weekend, Ballard appeared at Hellmouth Con in Atlanta, where he joined Mara Wilson and director Ursula Burton on a 2pm VamPD panel. According to an Instagram post from the event, the trio signed autographs and shared behind-the-scenes stories from their spike-and-sparkle-soaked vampire comedy. Fans lined up for selfies and memorabilia, many of whom were delighted by Ballard’s down-to-earth approach and willingness to pose for every photo.
Just a few weeks earlier, Ballard took to his Stories during the African-American Film Fans (ABFF) Weekend in Miami. In a repost shared by Darrin Henson, he appears alongside industry staples like Keith Sweat and Fat Joe at Soho House Miami for the premiere of the film Twin Pillars. That post, tagged #ABFFWeekend, drew attention to Ballard’s ongoing support of Black creators and filmmakers, earning him praise from colleagues and fans alike.
Fan Love In Every Caption

The simplicity resonated: no filters, no promotional tie-ins, just an earnest thank-you to the people who have followed his journey.
In the comments section, longtime admirers celebrated Ballard’s authenticity. One fan wrote, “You made my childhood Thursday nights with Numb3rs—thank you for still being awesome!” Another commented, “This post just made my day. Sending love right back!” Even co-stars chimed in, with actor Graham Wagner leaving a string of heart emojis under the update.
What’s Next For Ballard?
