Popdose: Sugar Water: The Second Coming … of David Caruso

Excellent piece. Your facts and your readings on Caruso are, for the most part, right on the money. Couple of counter points. No, David doesn't do cue cards. He's more than prepared in advance for every scene. Also, there are some health issues, although generally denied by David. His casting as Horatio was pushed by Ann Donahue. It took awhile for Anthony Zuiker to come around, due to David's bad press regarding NYPD Blue. Well done.

Thanks, Dojo. I'm glad to know Caruso doesn't use cue cards. I almost mentioned the deleted scene on the "Waiting for Guffman" DVD -- at least I seem to remember it being a deleted scene -- where Catherine O'Hara's character talks about how she's studied Robert De Niro's acting method, which in her opinion consists mostly of looking away from someone when you're speaking to them and then looking back at them when they're responding.
I'm sorry to hear about the health issues, especially if Caruso's movement has become restricted (except for all those moments where he says his pre-commercial one-liners and then walks out of frame). I just want to see the acting spark ignite the flame again, so to speak.

The flame-haired lawman’s acting flame may be almost out, but he entertains me nonetheless.
I THINK THAT SUMS IT UP NICELY. CARUSO GOT TOO COMFORTABLE WITH SUCCESS, KNOWING HE IS THE SHOW.
Then, around the third or fourth season, circa 2005-2006, Caruso begins showing his age: baggier eyes, a heavier frame, more noticeable jowls, etc. He turned 50 in 2006 — I’m not saying the change in appearance isn’t natural, but he definitely looks different. And once Caruso started looking older, he started making his character weirder —
I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT. IT HA BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR SOME TIME. EITHER CARUSO HAS LET HMSELF GO OR HAS SOME HEALTH ISSUES.
IN SUMMARY, I LIKE YOUR PIECE SINCE YOU POINT OUT THE SHOWS WEAKNESSES AND CARUSO'S.

It is a crime show turned comedy. And Caruso is the king of comedy. There are a lot of similarities with Jack Lord.

If Caruso's age is showing , might it be the result of starting a new family late in life? The baggy eyes more than likely stem from sleepless nights with an infant and a toddler in residence than anything health-related. Young children's sleeping habits have never been conducive to a full night's rest for an adult.
The posture could be health-related, but I think the baggy eyes, jowls, and heavier frame have more to do with the fact that he's in his 50s now, just as I'm in my early 30s and already have no hair left on my head. Getting older is a bitch. Good for him for not getting plastic surgery, though.

I like your critical view about Caruso's less than enthusiastic acting and the low quality of the show. Caruso's "decline" in looks has been dramatic. I have seen 50 year old who look a lot better. I have my theories about the reasons for that and they have little to do with children.

I agree that his young children are probably well taken care of by a nanny or three. It's just that his face seemed to fall so freakin' fast ...

Yes, it does. And if you have the one or other occasional date with J. Daniels your face is the first part of your body that gets affected.
RE: BOTULIN TOXIN. This litle poison is great if you have to do some work around your eyes or for small parts of your face. However, if you use it regularily you may wake up one day and notice that you aren't able to move a facial muscle again (It kills your facial nerves). N. Kidman is the best example.
If you want to have work done that is more of the lasting kind Dr. 90210 will have to do the work...

Well, whether or not he's had Botox isn't my concern. I just think his change in appearance over the last few years coincided with the change in his performance, but like I said, I haven't seen all the episodes.

"J. Daniels" is Jack Daniels, right? It took me 24 hours to get that. I thought J. Daniels was a Botox surgeon in Beverly Hills that you'd heard about.
Or maybe you're referring to Jeff Daniels from "Terms of Endearment." EVERYBODY knows he's a lush. Pass it on!

YUP. October 2006 Caruso's face looked really bad that some of us came to the conclusion that Caruso may have had a row of very intense dates with Jack Daniels, from Lynchburg, Tennessee. Many actors presumed dry relapse once or twice. I don't think Caruso is an exception.

I'd bet Caruso's been Botox'd. Most 50+ people I know have been and good for them. His eyes are looking less baggy than last year. Plastic surgery is so "out" in today's world.
rwcass
· 1 year ago
You think so? His eyes look about the same to me this season, but if I see tonight's new episode, I'll look more closely and we can compare notes in the morning.
So plastic surgery is out? What will become of Dr. 90210?
Kyra

Honestly, I think he had more done than just BOTOX especially around his eyes.

Interesting article--I enjoyed the pros and cons of what makes an actor tick. As far as looks--well, time is friend to no one. Throw in late nights with small children and I defy anyone to look fresh the next day! The comparison to Jack Lord is something I have also noticed. Even through, I always enjoyed "The Lord" in Hawaii Five-O--his acting was a bit *cough* stiff. But to this day, I still remember how much I enjoyed watching it.

Lord, like Caruso, is fascinating to watch. I don't know why, but there you have it. And Lord, like Caruso, was in his late 40s when he started filming his CBS crime drama about sun, surf, and death.

Sorry, but I think you've got yourself a troll or sockpuppet. Be prepared for the onslaught. You may have to consider closing the comments. Some of us have seen as many as 200 comments from Caruso's stalker on a blog. BTW, I've posted a link from my blog. As an aside, neither David nor Liza employ a full time nanny. And, no, I don't think plastic surgery is out for some of the "Michael Jackson type addicts", but most wouldn't resort to that when there's so many new, less invasive techniques. The surgeons are just adjusting their focus (and their prices) to reap the harvest.

No nanny? Then Caruso's kids ARE making him lose sleep. Or they aren't. I'll stop my guessing game at this point.
Just curious, Dojo -- did you work on "CSI: Miami" or for Bruckheimer's production company? Or do you just read a lot about Caruso?

I like David. Period. I don't care how many bags under his eyes he has. I don't care what health issues he has. Everyone has health issues. It's part of being human. I would however care if they were life threatening, and even then, all I could do for him would be to pray. Aging is part of being human too. Not everyone can look like a teenager for all their lives. And even the ones who TRY end up looking like Joan Rivers!! I don't care if he's had plastic surgery or not. Botox or not.
Who cares?!
I like him. And I always will.
There are better things to expend brain cells on than wondering if he uses cue cards or not. If he's had plasic surgery or botox. If he's getting lazy or not.
I don't think he's getting lazy at all. All his co-stars have commented at one time or another that he takes Horatio very seriously. He's committed to keeping true to his character. That he's raises the bar and so on.
Dojo said it, he's well prepared ahead of time. Rex Lin said "He raises the bar. If you come to work, you had better be prepared! Because he knows his lines and he knows your's too!" That wasn't ment to be threatening either. It was ment to complementary of David and how well he's always prepared.
I don't understand why some can't just enjoy tv shows without picking them and their actors apart. And if you can't, don't watch! Simple.
And he didn't just 'quit' NYPD Blue.
I love you're work David. Keep up the good work. And, I'm looking forward to many many more years of Horatio.

To each his or her own, KRL. I'm not that interested in Caruso's appearance, honestly, but I did think it was worth pointing out that his appearance started to change as his character started to get more Walken-like. Judging by the first-season reruns I've seen, Caruso still looked fairly boyish at 46, and then suddenly he didn't look boyish anymore. But like I said, I haven't seen all the episodes, and A&E doesn't run them in order. Maybe the change seemed more gradual in the first-run episodes on CBS. Of course, female celebrities are under the microscope for their looks much more than male ones as they get older.
As for the cue cards, a friend brought it up and I thought it was a possibility. Now I know better. But I still think Caruso's gotten lazy as an actor. (That doesn't mean I don't find him entertaining to watch, though.) That's just my opinion, of course, and everyone's entitled to opinions of what they watch on TV as long as they don't just say "this sucks" without backing up their argument. Don't you agree?
In my post I said, "... he quit the show that had made him a TV star so he could become a movie star. Or at least that’s how the story is usually told." Within the context of what I wrote, you'll see that I don't think Caruso just up and quit "NYPD Blue." That's just how the story of his departure is usually told. I think he wanted to stay. But I'm sure many people who worked on that show have many different stories about what really happened. I doubt there's one simple truth when it comes to a situation like that.

Really enjoyed your piece. Having both pros and cons is refreshing. I agree with most of your analagies except one. I really don't get the comparison to Jack Lord. Of course I don't like Jack Lord. I was a kid when we watched Hawaii five-0 and thought he was old. Liked the show, just not him.
I believe that Caruso has brought Horatio to some very deep sentimental place. Although I prefer his Horatio of the first 3 seasons myself. I'm hoping he snaps out of it soon.

I thought I was so insightful and original last summer when I first noticed the similarities between Caruso and Lord's performances (and then their careers). Turns out I was waaaay behind the curve:
Plus there's one other blog that mentioned the connection last summer, but I can't find the address right now.
Another way the characters of McGarrett and Caine are similar is that their work is their life, and if they find love outside of work with a woman, the woman is usually killed within the episode or a few episodes later. It's as if God is saying, "Your work is the only thing you should love. Get back to your job, Job!"
I also think the Lord was bored on "Hawaii Five-O" after a while, just as I think Caruso is bored on "CSI: Miami" now. It'll be interesting to see if "CSI: Miami" runs for 12 seasons on CBS.
karonis2

Hmmm. Interesting points you bring up. I've often wondered if he could be bored, though I truely hope not. However, as little as Horatio is involved these days I would venture to guess he is. I would like to see this one last a while longer. 12 years, I don't know. I heard Caruso say in an interview that Ann Donahue has a 9 year plan for Horatio. Karonis2 --- Disqus <>

This is an excellent, unbiased read. Thank you. Caruso is always at his best when he shares scenes with actors such as DeNiro, Crowe, Franz, Gossett and others known for their acting skills. He seems to pull himself up to their level. He does the same for directors like Hackford and Friedkin. When the "star" is on his shoulders, he becomes complacent and set in his ways. He needs someone to challenge him. There was a time (after Season 3) when I thought Horatio could become a spin-off sometime down the road. Now I think that the last episode of "Miami" will see our hero giving his life for the city he loves and protects. When this day comes, I hope Caruso will gracefully slip into those roles once embraced by the late, great actor, Burgess Meredith.
Regarding his looks, no doubt babies and toddlers make one sleep deprived. But it has always been my observation that smokers start showing facial lines earlier than their non-smoking counterparts.

Caruso was also a character on Hill Street Blues--an Irish gang leader, if I recall? I was such a huge Blues fan that I was almost hysterical with fan love when NYPD Blue came out. At the time it was one intense show--with the three seconds of nudity! at the end of many episodes, whoooo-eeee--but now it seems kinda quaint. When Caruso left, it started one heck of a slow decline into oblivion until Jimmy Smits' long protracted death from the mystery heart condition that was well nigh unwatchable. After that...it was over for me.

good old IMDB--he indeed was the Irish gang leader...my memory did not fail me from TV watched 25+ years ago:
"Hill Street Blues" (7 episodes)
1. Presidential Fever (17 January 1981) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann 2. Politics as Usual (21 January 1981) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann 3. Can World War III Be an Attitude? (24 January 1981) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann 4. Personal Foul (25 March 1982) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann 5. Heat Rash (14 October 1982) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann 6. A Hair of the Dog (25 November 1982) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann 7. Ba-bing, Ba-bing (20 October 1983) - Shamrock Leader Tommy Mann

Yep, Caruso was the leader of the Shamrocks gang, according to what I've read. I never saw him on "Hill Street," though. I watched the entire first season of "NYPD Blue" in my senior year of high school, then lost track of it in college and didn't see Caruso's final episode until sometime last year on TNT.

Excellent article - very fair look at this show and the main character. After seeing many interviews with David, it is very clear that he is IN on the joke and has a complete understanding of the type of character he has created. If the character wasn't so different and memorable, everyone wouldn't be talking about it (good or bad)
Does he do that many interviews these days? I'm wondering if people are so interested in his personal life because he doesn't talk to the press that much. It's a good way to keep people guessing about you, if nothing else.

I'm a huge "CSI: Miami" fan - well, I'm a fan of all the CSI shows.
My roommate hates Caruso, but I think he helps make the show. Partly because that voice sounds creepy even when it's supposed to sound reassuring.
He's so overly sympathetic to every single character - goes to all the funerals, goes out of his way to help people find sisters or children, or whatever. All with his creepy voice.
He has to be in on the joke. Just like R. Kelly.

If Caruso were to ever leave the show or he was fired, I would hope that his final episode would reveal Horatio having hundreds of children's bodies buried in his backyard. Yeah, it's morbid, but he loves children and he's got that creepy voice, so you connect the dots.

Interesting comparison, especially since a lot of people would automatically compare Caruso to William Shatner rather than Leonard Nimoy because of the ham-fisted acting style. (I, like Ben Stiller, find Shatner's style endearing, especially before he got all ironic about it in the mid-'80s starting with that time he hosted "SNL.") Incidentally, Caruso appeared on an episode of "T.J. Hooker" in 1983.

Hmm... I just read this article, and it is very interesting... He probably enjoys the fact that the show is highly succesful and I think it's somehow normal. In my opinion, Horatio Caine's character is much more interesting -in general- than the ones from CSI and CSI:NY. It has much more style and since Caruso has played in NYPD Blue, he definetly knows how to handle such a role. I personally love the show, I haven't watched ALL of it because here in Greece it shows on TV the 3rd Season (currently), but I have checked out many videos on Youtube, and I don't think there have been so many changes in his character. I don't mind about the appearance, to me he's very good-looking. OK, he could be somehow better but I like him anyway. And I don't think he's arrogant at all, like some people say. Even if he is, he deserves it, because he's now VERY famous, and rich. If I was in his position I'd be worse, perhaps. I think he's very OK, and I don't understand why some people are so offensive towards him. P.S: I liked Jade, and whenever I watch it I cannot find something bad that would be an "excuse" for some people to criticise it this way. Maybe it is what he said, that people thought negatively of this film because he had left NYPD Blue before, and he was considered "the bad guy"... But nevermind, the man's a very good actor, and I think he is very handsome. Who cares about the wrinkles so much? Everybody's gonna have them one day anyway!
