Retired actor David Caruso has resurfaced after stepping away from the Hollywood spotlight following his hit show “CSI: Miami.”
The 67-year-old was photographed out and about in a rare appearance on Nov. 15.
During the rare spotting, the “NYPD Blue” alum sported a denim jacket, a black tee and gray sweatpants as he pumped gas and took a walk in San Fernando Valley, California.
The former actor’s hair was also grown out and parted down the middle.
The “Proof of Life” star appeared in good spirits and was seen with an unknown female companion.
The New York native began his career with an uncredited role in “Ryan’s Hope” in 1976, and went on to appear in dozens of projects, primarily in television.
In 1994, he won a Golden Globe for his work as Detective John Kelly on “NYPD Blue.”
The cast — which also included Dennis Franz, Jimmy Smits and Ricky Schroder — reunited for Entertainment Weekly in 2011.
Caruso is perhaps best known, however, for playing Lieutenant Horatio Caine on “CSI: Miami” for more than 230 episodes. The CBS drama was canceled in 2021 after 10 seasons. He’s yet to act since.
In 2002, Caruso spoke about the show’s early buzz, and if that created false expectations for the cast.
“You know, I think it’s an easy trap to fall into, if you get hooked by it. But the good news is in today’s world of so many options in entertainment, if you’re getting some attention, that’s a positive thing,” he told CNN at the time.
“Being a part of the ‘CSI’ family, was so effortless for all of us, it would be great if we could do the show for a while. I’d be very comfortable doing this,” he continued.
After his retirement from the limelight, he entered the art business and opened a gallery in Los Angeles’ Westlake Village.
Caruso was last photographed at Los Angeles International Airport. He was with his two youngest kids — Marquez, 18, and Paloma, 16 — at the time.
Caruso’s rare outing last month comes just weeks after his former “CSI” co-star, actor Evan Ellingson, was found dead.
Ellingson passed away at the age of 35 due to an accidental fentanyl overdose.
An autopsy from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s coroner then listed manner of death as an “accident.”
