Re: Horatio Caine...does anyone else find him hot?
Yeahey! I'd rather psend the rest of my living, breathing life here on talk CSI! Especially this particular thread plus the other HC/DC thread!
After a shooting, an interview with David about CSI Miami:
Although he admits that the show's gleaming, incredibly detailed sets are the envy of forensics labs everywhere -- including Miami -- Caruso is more about heart than hardware.
"One of the instincts that I have as Horatio Caine," he says, "is I never want to let go of the absolute, horrific nature of the loss, not only for the victim, but the aftermath of the wives and the families and so on. I don't ever want to let go of their pain, because they can't let go of it."
"One of the things we're getting to do is exercise what I call a resolve and a relief. It's not so much to just get a completion on things when we can, there's also an opportunity to provide relief for people at the end of an episode."
On a personal note, Caruso has found a whole new generation of fans. "I was in Miami the other night, and these two boys, 10, maybe 12 years old, were tracking us, yelling, 'CSI.' I waved them over, because I have my Horatio Caine cards, kind of a baseball card made up with a signature on it. I gave them that, and Margaret and I were like, 'My God, they're 12 years old.'"
"One of the really interesting Christmas gifts I got this year is that people are recognizing me as the guy from 'CSI,' and that's a big deal for me."
With filming done -- Caruso settles down to talk. Asked about Caine's habit of standing with his hands on his hips, the actor smiles and gets up to demonstrate how this differs from his previous series roles, as police Detective John Kelly in "NYPD Blue" and a prosecutor in "Michael Hayes."
"You know," he says, "that just came out of the character. Every character stands somewhat differently. It just happens. John Kelly was a hands-in-his-pockets guy, and Michael Hayes was this, hands behind his back."
"For whatever reason, Horatio Caine came out with this. It's funny you bring that up, because it's a weird little thing that took place."
Just felt like sharing. Hope it helps to understand more bout DC.
