David Caruso (born January 7, 1956 in Forest Hills, Queens, New York) is an American film and television actor. He is best known at present for his role as Horatio Caine on the TV series CSI: Miami.

The child of an Italian-American father and an Irish-American mother, Caruso attended elementary and middle school at Our Lady Queen of the Martyrs in Forest Hills, Queens, the same primary school attended by Ray Romano and Pia Zadora. He later graduated from Archbishop Molloy High School in nearby Briarwood.

His first film appearance was in the 1980 film Getting Wasted, in which he played the part of Henry. Caruso spent the better part of the next decade in supporting roles, appearing in such films as An Officer and a Gentleman, First Blood, Blue City, and China Girl. He was also a series regular on the television series Crime Story, which ran from 1986 to 1988. His breakthrough role came in 1993, when he landed the part of Detective John Kelly on the brand-new series NYPD Blue. After garnering much positive attention for his work on the show, Caruso famously left NYPD Blue the following year to pursue a career in film, but was unable to establish himself in the movie industry. Starring roles during that period were the crime thrillers Kiss of Death (1995) and Jade (1995).

In 1997, Caruso returned to television as the star of the CBS drama series Michael Hayes. It ran for one season of 22 episodes. He had a supporting role in the movie Proof of Life in 2000. In 2001 he had a lead role in the horror film Session 9. Since 2002, has starred as Horatio H. Caine in the popular CSI spin-off series CSI: Miami.

Aside from his acting career, Caruso is a co-owner of Steam, a clothing and furniture store in Miami, Florida. He has a daughter, Greta (born June 1, 1984), with his second wife, Rachel Ticotin, and a son, Marquez Anthony (born September 15, 2005), with his girlfriend, Liza Marquez. In 1994 (according to court record) ex-girlfriend Paris Papiro slapped him with a palimony suit. Caruso paid an undisclosed sum in early 1995. [citation needed]
