Back in February, we were happy to learn that a CBS revival was in development on CBS, good news for fans of the cult series. This has also revealed actors who have become real stars of the small screen like David Caruso who lent his features to the unforgettable Horatio Caine for ten years. While he is largely known for the role, the now 64-year-old actor also made a place before that in NYPD Blue where he only stayed for a year and according to statements. by Steven Bochco, one of the producers of the series, the latter was unmanageable.
In his book Truth Is a Total Defense: My Fifty Years in Television released in 2016, Steven looks back on the controversial departure of the actor and his behavior on the set of the series would be at the origin: “David Caruso had become impossible “he begins before denouncing the actions of the star“ His behavior was, in layman’s terms, cancerous. He was emotionally unavailable to everyone and he was unstable, moody, or brooding depending on the day. Most people don’t function well in a dysfunctional environment but Caruso loved it because he was. the source of all the discontent and that gave him power. He never told me directly but the simple truth was he thought he was too good for TV. He wanted to be a movie star. And he planned to alienate the writers, producers, and his castmates in the hopes that we would remove him from the series. An attitude that has visibly left traces years after their collaboration. Know as far as David Caruso does Rose McGowan also weighed in on Alyssa Milano’s toxic behavior on the set of Charmed.
