David Caruso Looks Unrecognizable in Rare Outing After Retiring from Acting 12 Years Ago
David Caruso, the former star of CSI: Miami , was recently spotted in Los Angeles, and fans of the iconic actor might barely recognize him. Caruso, who is now 68, was photographed for the first time in over a year, and his appearance has dramatically changed since his days as the sharp-witted, sun-glass-wearing Horatio Caine. Known for his striking red hair and signature sunglasses, Caruso was seen sporting longer, flowing red locks and opted for regular spectacles, a far cry from the character’s iconic shades. This rare sighting took place as he worked at his art gallery, marking a significant contrast to his days of fame.

Caruso’s career has been full of notable milestones, from his breakthrough role as Horatio Caine on CSI: Miami (2002–2012) to his time on NYPD Blue , which earned him a Golden Globe Award. The actor became famous for his tough cop persona, sharp dressing, and his unique sunglasses routine, where he would dramatically put them on or take them off before delivering a witty one-liner. It became a signature of his, and even The New York Times once dubbed him “the most dedicated modern practitioner of glasses business.” His quick-witted style, however, was not the only thing that made him a fan favorite; his role as the tough, yet compassionate crime investigator helped CSI: Miami become one of the most successful crime dramas of its time.
Despite his immense popularity, Caruso decided to step away from acting in 2012 when the CSI: Miami spin-off was canceled. After appearing in all 232 episodes of the show, he felt it was time to leave fame behind. Following his acting career, Caruso briefly opened an art gallery in Westlake Village, LA, but it was eventually shut down. He also launched a clothing store in Miami, although his career in business never reached the same heights as his acting success. Now living off the fortune he accumulated during his years as a TV star, Caruso keeps a relatively low profile.
Interestingly, while Caruso has distanced himself from acting, he has kept reminders of his past career. A source close to the actor shared that Caruso has framed photos of himself in character, particularly from CSI: Miami and his film Proof of Life , displayed in his garage. It seems that while he may have left the limelight, he hasn’t completely forgotten his acting roots.
Though Caruso's acting career wasn't without its setbacks, including early film roles that earned him Golden Raspberries for Worst New Star, he managed to overcome those challenges and make a lasting impact. His personal life, too, has been as eventful as his career. With three divorces under his belt and a complicated romantic history, Caruso's life off-screen has been far from ordinary. His relationships have garnered as much attention as his acting, with some contentious moments making headlines.
Now, with his art career and business ventures taking center stage, Caruso seems to be focusing on a quieter, more introspective chapter of his life. Fans of his iconic role in CSI: Miami will surely continue to remember him for his unforgettable portrayal of Horatio Caine, but it seems that the actor himself has moved on from the world of crime-solving and stardom.
