David Caruso was one of the great cautionary tales of television. If you leave a hit show too soon, you might end up like Caruso. Three years after leaving NYPD Blue, Caruso’s hoped-for movie career was washed up before it ever really started. When the actor was interviewed for the October 1997 issue of Movieline magazine, his reportedly out-of-control ego had been popped like a bubble. At the time, Caruso was hoping that a new TV show would help him get a foothold in show business. It didn’t, but five years later he would bounce back with CSI: Miami.

Even though the series was a hit, and he appeared in every single episode during its 200+ episode run, Caruso maintained his reputation as a diva, and has often been described as moody and neurotic by others who worked on the show.

Since then, he has effectively retired from acting.
