However, he made his mark two years later in the film An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), in which he played Topper Daniels, a “cadet who nearly drowned.” This performance is credited as the reason Caruso gained attention.
Throughout the rest of the 1980s, Caruso continued to appear in supporting roles in several other films, including First Blood (1982), Blue City (1986), China Girl (1987) and Twins (1988).) These supporting roles helped Caruso become a rising star in the film industry that decade.
Caruso plays a police officer in the crime thriller King of New York (1990) and Mad Dog and Glory (1993)While filming Hudson’s Hawk in 1991, he adopted method acting and refused to speak to anyone on the set because his character Kit-Kat was unable to speak after her tongue was bitten off.
In 2002, Caruso returned to television as Officer Horatio Kane in the NYPD spinoff CSI: Miami, his first successful acting role since NYPD. He is the first actor in the series to play the same character in three of the five CSI series.
He is notorious for his frequent one-liners at the start of each show, many of which involve him putting on his distinctive sunglasses midway through the show and leaving the screen when the main theme begins.
