David Caruso, born in 1956 in Queens, New York, became a TV star in the ’90s and early 2000s. He started with small roles in films like *First Blood* and *An Officer and a Gentleman*, but his big break was in 1993 as Detective John Kelly on *NYPD Blue*. “After winning a Golden Globe, Caruso left the show after one season,” which caused a career slump.

His move to films didn’t go well. Caruso’s film career “struggled,” and he disappeared from the spotlight for a while. But in 2002, he made a major comeback with *CSI: Miami*. His role as Horatio Caine became iconic, with his one-liners and sunglasses flip making him a pop culture legend. “Caruso made a dramatic return in 2002 with CSI: Miami,” and the show ran for ten successful seasons.

Now, Caruso lives a quiet life away from Hollywood. He hasn’t acted since *CSI: Miami* ended in 2012, but his legacy in television remains. As the article puts it, “Caruso’s legacy in television remains significant.”

From *NYPD Blue* to *CSI: Miami*, Caruso’s intense performances and signature style have left a lasting impact on TV history.
