David Caruso Apparently Just Moody Because of His Fugitive Austrian Stalker

3:50AM Defamer Hollywood | Scratch an egomaniac and you’re sure to find a sensitive soul just a sincere hug or two away from a healthy, humanitarian lifestyle. At least that’s our read on ginger terror David Caruso, whose tyranny on the set of CSI: Miami can only come from a place of haunted concern for something larger than himself — say, perhaps, upholding the dramatic tradition of sunglasses-removal, or, if we are to believe the civilian investigation to which we were tipped this morning, the whereabouts of a fugitive stalking suspect he (and reportedly the FBI) might prefer to see located sooner than later.

David Caruso: ‘What Should I Do? I Am A Grown Man With Red Hair.’

11:44AM Mark Graham | Exactly one week ago today, we ran a fairly innocuous item about David Caruso’s effusive bullying of a young director on the set of CSI: Sunglasses. Unbeknownst to us at the time we posted it, this item would generate a tremendous amount of feedback from you, the Defamer community. In particular, we received one incredibly detailed recollection of Caruso’s on-set behaviour from a commenter with the nom de plume of OnSetSnitch. While we normally don’t make a practice out of reprinting comments verbatim, this one is so full of Grade-A juice that we felt compelled to share it with a wider audience. With that, please enjoy this unfortunate (yet hilarious) tale of what it’s like to work with the likes of David Caruso on a daily basis: It’s taken me a bit of courage to actually fess up to what I’ve seen on the set of CSI:Miami, but I actually worked there for two years and saw first-hand almost 50 episodes being filmed. Caruso is without a doubt, the most tortured, saddest man-child/ actor I’ve ever seen in over 15 years of movie and tv-making. Everything you have heard is true, but worse.

David Caruso Bullies Young Director Into Shooting Umpteenth Sunglasses Removal Scene

9:08AM Mark Graham | By now, seemingly every pop culture pundit worth their weight in punchlines has latched onto the high comedic value of David Caruso’s effusive stylings on CSI: Miami. In particular, The Soup’s Joel McHale has taken extreme delight in (and created a cottage industry from) Caruso’s patented “I’m going to hastily remove my sunglasses while I deliver this one-liner” maneuver. But until we read this insider’s account of Caruso’s excruciating acting process on Popbitch, the TV viewer in us always just kind of naively assumed that these moments happened semi-serendipitously. But boy oh boy, were we ever wrong: David Caruso asks [the show's director] when there will be a close up of [his] sunglasses – in every scene. More »
