David Caruso was once one of television’s biggest stars, especially during the 1990s and early 2000s. Best known for his roles in NYPD Blue and CSI: Miami, the now 68-year-old actor looks very different from how fans remember him.
Born in Queens, New York, Caruso started with small roles in films like First Blood and An Officer and a Gentleman before landing his breakout role as Detective John Kelly in NYPD Blue in 1993. Although he became a huge TV star, he left the show after one season amid reported disputes over salary and creative control.
After unsuccessful movie attempts, Caruso made a major comeback in 2002 as Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami, a role that turned him into a television icon for ten seasons. Since leaving acting after the show ended, he has stayed mostly out of the spotlight, and fans recently noticed how much he has naturally aged over the years.
