David Caruso: A Tale of Peaks and Valleys in Hollywood
David Caruso, born in 1956 in Queens, New York, rose to fame in the ’90s and early 2000s with intense TV roles. Starting with small parts in films like First Blood and An Officer and a Gentleman, his breakthrough came in 1993 as Detective John Kelly in NYPD Blue. Despite earning a Golden Globe, he controversially left the show after one season, leading to a downturn in his career.
Caruso struggled in film but made a stunning comeback in 2002 with CSI: Miami, where his portrayal of Horatio Caine became iconic. The show’s success cemented his legacy in TV history.
In recent years, Caruso’s appearance has changed, largely due to aging and stepping away from the public eye. While he’s now enjoying a quieter life, his impact on television remains significant, proving that comebacks in Hollywood are possible.
