Today, he lives a much quieter life away from the spotlight. As he has aged naturally, fans who remember him from his television heyday may be surprised by how different he looks today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Queens, New York, Caruso was raised by his mother following his parents\u2019 divorce. He began his acting career with supporting roles in films such as <em>First Blood<\/em> and <em>An Officer and a Gentleman<\/em> before landing his breakthrough role as Detective John Kelly on <em>NYPD Blue<\/em> in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caruso earned critical attention for his performance, but his decision to leave the series after its first season became a major television story. Reports at the time linked his departure to contract and salary disagreements. Although his early exit was risky, it did not end his acting career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2002, Caruso returned to television as Lieutenant Horatio Caine on <em>CSI: Miami<\/em>. The crime drama became an international success and ran for ten seasons. Caruso\u2019s character became especially famous for his dramatic sunglasses moments and memorable one-liners, turning him into a recognizable pop-culture figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since <em>CSI: Miami<\/em> ended, Caruso has largely stepped away from acting and maintained a private lifestyle. Recent appearances reflect the natural effects of aging rather than evidence of a major health problem. For fans who remember him as Horatio Caine, his quieter life may be a surprise, but after decades in the public eye, Caruso appears to have chosen privacy over the demands of Hollywood.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Caruso was once one of television\u2019s most recognizable actors, thanks to memorable roles in NYPD Blue and CSI: Miami.
