The male version of Shelley Long when it comes to career choices, David Caruso hasn't exactly struck it big on that beckoning movie career after leaving "NYPD Blue" lo these many years ago. However, he did eventually strike out laterally (at best) to land on "CSI: Miami," where he has become a cult hero for his brutally cheesy one-liners.
At this point, it is hard to tell whether he is aware of his caricature and has simply adopted a delicious, Christopher Walken-style ability to poke fun at himself and turn the idea of being himself into a running punchline. Caruso attempts to build drama with these incredibly awesome pregnant pauses that would make Jim Rome jealous, and the fact that he fancies himself a "serious" actor only makes them that much better:
"Yes ... he does, Frank ... I ... (puts on sunglasses) ... am going to ... beat the wave .. (meaningful eye contact, something dramatic reflected in sunglasses) ... to Miami ... Frank ... (strides away purposefully)."
Enjoy …
