David Caruso, a name that was once everywhere, has largely stepped out of the spotlight. Now 68 years old, his appearance has changed significantly since his TV days.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Queens, New York, Caruso had a challenging upbringing, raised by a single mother after his parents\u2019 divorce. Despite this, he pursued acting, landing early roles in *Hill Street Blues*, *First Blood* (1982), and *An Officer and a Gentleman* (1982).<br \/>\nHowever, it wasn\u2019t until his role as Detective John Kelly on *NYPD Blue* in 1993 that he gained widespread recognition and a Golden Globe nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Caruso\u2019s decision to leave the show after one season, due to reported disputes over salary, marked a turning point in his career.<br \/>\nAfter struggling to make a mark in film, Caruso found renewed success with *CSI: Miami* in 2002. His portrayal of Horatio Caine became iconic, and the show\u2019s ten-season run solidified his place in TV history.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, fans have noted Caruso\u2019s appearance has changed since his *CSI* days. However, this seems to be part of the natural aging process. Since stepping away from acting, Caruso has embraced a quieter, more relaxed life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opinionview71.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2272-240x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opinionview71.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2272-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/opinionview71.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2272.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us wonder what happened to once-famous celebrities.
