He was a true heartthrob in a famous TV Series. Today at only 68, he looks unrecognizable

David Caruso, born on January 7, 1956, in New York, is known for his intense performances, with a career marked by both high points and setbacks. He began acting with small roles in shows like Hill Street Blues and films such as First Blood (1982). His breakthrough came in 1993 with the role of Detective John Kelly in NYPD Blue, earning him widespread acclaim and a Golden Globe. However, after just one season, Caruso left the show due to disputes over salary and creative control, leading to a downturn in his career.

Attempts to transition into film were unsuccessful, with movies like Jade (1995) and Kiss of Death (1995) failing at the box office. His career revived in 2002 when he starred as Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami, a hit series that ran for ten seasons and solidified his place in TV history.
