As David Caruso stepped out in LA to run some errands, the actor seemed almost unrecognizable, 12 years after bidding farewell to his iconic role in the hit series CSI: Miami. For over a decade, he played the intense Lieutenant Horatio Caine in the popular police drama, which was a spin-off of the main CSI franchise. However, when the show came to an end in 2012, the 68-year-old decided to retreat from the limelight and retire from acting, shifting his focus to the world of art.
In some recent pictures, the star made a rare appearance in public as he went about his day in LA. Sporting a casual look, he donned a dark grey jacket, a black top, and khaki trousers, topped off with a straw hat, sunglasses, and American flag-adorned trainers, as he strolled into his art gallery. It's not often that we see David in the public eye, ever since he left Hollywood more than a decade ago and traded acting for the art world.
Despite being a familiar face on our screens for years, David has only been spotted a handful of times since his departure from the industry. He first appeared on the big screen in the 1980 film Getting Wasted, and then went on to star in several other movies like Kings of New York, Kiss of Death, Jade, Proof of Life, and Body Count. On television, he had roles in shows like Hill Street Blues, Crime Story, and H.E.L.P, before landing the lead role of Detective John Kelly in NYPD. This role brought him a Golden Globe award for best actor in a TV drama and multiple Emmy nominations, solidifying his success as an actor.
But it was his role as Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami that truly catapulted him to fame. He became known for his iconic one-liners and the way he would dramatically put on his sunglasses, quickly becoming a fan favorite. David stayed with the show for all 10 seasons and 232 episodes, before it was eventually canceled in 2012. And after that, he decided to step away from acting altogether.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, David reflected on his decision to leave the show in its second season due to contract negotiations. He admitted that he may have made a mistake, saying, "Young actors sometimes do very dumb things, and I was no exception." He also credited the creators of NYPD Blue, David Milch and Steven Bochco, for his successful career in the years since leaving the show.
Despite his absence from the spotlight, David's fans still remember him fondly for his unforgettable performances in some of the biggest TV shows.
