Actor David Caruso was once one of television’s biggest stars, known for roles in NYPD Blue and later CSI: Miami. After gaining fame as Detective John Kelly in the 1990s, he left NYPD Blue following reported disputes over salary and creative control, a move many saw as a setback to his career.
He later returned to success in 2002 as Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami, where his calm style and memorable one-liners made him iconic. Since stepping away from acting after the show ended, Caruso has stayed out of the spotlight. Now 68, fans are surprised by how different he looks today, though there are no reports of health issues—just the natural effects of aging after years away from Hollywood.
