Caruso Method In Action
CRACKED ON DAVID CARUSO:
While the Caruso Method is widely studied, little is known about the man. Like a grimacing chameleon, Caruso blends in with his surroundings. He is not just the star of a show that takes place in Miami. Caruso is Miami. He may have arrived as a pasty Irish Catholic, but you wouldn't know it from his girlfriend Liza Marquez, and their son Marquez Anthony (a name he presumably arrived at after his wife told him Enrique Iglesias was too obvious, and The Miami Sound Machine was not an appropriate name for a child).
When he opened a high end retail store in downtown Miami, rather than trading on name recognition, he gave it the tragically perfect name "Steam." The name so adeptly captured the spirit of Miami that the ad executive who named the city's WNBA franchise "The Sol" immediately killed himself in shame, at which point Caruso stood over his body, held his sun glasses poised between his fingers, and said, "May God have mercy on his Sol." Not his best work, but as Caruso would later explain, the room was filled with distracting sobs and cops yelling, "Why is David Caruso here?"






David Caruso was great on NYPD BLUE but was dogged by cast and crew for trying so hard. Dennis Franz advised that he needed to develop some short-cuts in acting for television , which advise Caruso put to use on CSI:MIAMI.Don't be surprised if he's amazing if he gets a decent movie.
ReplyNon-Caruso Character "Looks like he's dead"
ReplyCaruso Character *putting on sunglasses* "Not as dead as my acting career"
That was the funniest Cracked article in a long time! I love CSI, and David Caruso always manages to make me laugh just when the show is supposed to be the most dramatic. And the video with the one liner/sunglasses montage is just hysterical! Thank you, that made my night.
ReplyHow do you think The Who feels about their song being recognized more for being Caruso's punchline follow-up than anything else???
ReplyWait. Did they really have the camera pan around him kneeling in front of the Cristo Redentor?
ReplyWell, in light of the upcoming Mass Effect 3 release, have a one-liner:
ReplyGarrus: "Looks like a Quarian, he died of an infection after he was shockwave'd against a wall and his suit breached."
Shepard: "Well, looks like he... *puts sunglasses on* ...should have taken more anti-biotics."
Coroner: We found traces of semen in the vics ear.
ReplyCaruso: Guess that means she... *puts sunglasses on* ...heard her killer coming.
He told a guy to take off his jacket..nice and slow in this porn voice. WTF? Between him and the chicks with their boobs out, that show makes me LMAO.
ReplyDoes David Caruso actually act? I mean all I've ever seen him do is strike poses. Rather nice looking poses, but nonetheless, poses. You can predict which pose he'll strike in any given situation. Nice. The only time I saw a hint of acting ability was in 'First Blood', when he got the crap beaten out of him by the old fat sherif who lost his buddy to Rambo.
ReplyI have to say I am totally hooked on CSI: Miami. Caruso is a baffling character. Sometimes I wonder if there is an extra vertebrae in his neck that leaves his head permanently tilted to one side. Or if an acting coach directed a strange head angle to create character. He has another odd mannerism of almost flirting with criminals. And who decided this guy was good with kids and used every opportunity to put his tilted head up close and personal with any kid they can work into a story. I am creeped out as an adult by his strange demeanor. He would never be trusted by a child. He comes off as inappropriate with fragile kids in the middle of a traumatic experience! He is mesmerizing! I love the writing on the show and I also like that there is not a lot of silly plot between the principals.
ReplyThey forgot my favorite one-liner. "He must have had one killer date" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
