Many people wonder what happened to celebrities who were once very popular but then seemed to disappear from the spotlight.
This is the story of an actor who was well-known at one time but is now 68 years old and looks quite different from how people remember him.
The actor we’re talking about is David Caruso.
If you watched TV in the 1990s or early 2000s, you might remember him.
David Caruso was born on January 7, 1956, in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. His parents divorced when he was young, and he grew up in a single-parent household. Despite these challenges, Caruso was determined to succeed.
However, Caruso’s time on *NYPD Blue* was short. He left after just one season due to reported disputes over his salary and creative control. This decision was criticized by many and is seen as a turning point in his career.
After leaving the show, Caruso tried to focus on movies but didn’t have much success. He appeared in films like *Jade* (1995) and *Kiss of Death* (1995), but neither of these movies did well at the box office.
In 2002, David Caruso made a major comeback with the show *CSI: Miami*, where he played Horatio Caine. His role on the show was very popular, and his character was known for his cool demeanor and memorable one-liners. *CSI: Miami* ran for ten seasons and helped Caruso cement his place in television history.
