Actor David Caruso, known for his long tenure on the popular television series "CSI: Miami," was recently seen in public, an uncommon occurrence since he stepped away from acting. Reports from a Super Rare Outing May 2025 described his appearance as notably changed from his days portraying Lt. Horatio Caine.
Caruso, 69, has largely remained out of the public eye since "CSI: Miami" concluded its run in 2012 after a decade on the air. Before that, he gained prominence in the early 1990s with roles on "NYPD Blue," for which he received a Golden Globe Award.
His departure from "NYPD Blue" after its first season led to a brief film career before he returned to television in the early 2000s with "CSI: Miami." His character's distinctive delivery and sunglasses became widely recognized elements of the show.
Following the end of the crime procedural, Caruso reportedly moved away from Hollywood and focused on business ventures. Public sightings of the actor have been infrequent over the past twelve years.
The recent sighting drew attention due to his perceived change in appearance compared to his last regular television role. Photos circulated online showed the actor with a beard and casual clothing, a departure from the sharp suits and clean-shaven look of his television persona.
This public appearance offers a brief glimpse into the life of a performer who chose to leave the spotlight after a successful career in television.
