David Caruso, born in 1956 in Queens, New York, became a star in the ’90s and early 2000s with powerful TV roles. He began with small roles in films like First Blood and An Officer and a Gentleman, but his big break came in 1993 as Detective John Kelly on NYPD Blue. After winning a Golden Globe, Caruso left the show after one season, which led to a career slump.
His film career struggled, but Caruso made a dramatic return in 2002 with CSI: Miami. His role as Horatio Caine became iconic, solidifying his place in TV history.
Now, living a more private life, Caruso’s legacy in television remains significant.
