"David Caruso............is Horatio Caine....."

I'm back!!! Just finished watching an episode of "CSI: Miami" on AXN ( the Sunday marathon). I am struck by the fact that David Caruso, who portrays Horatio Caine, could seemingly not act his way out of a paper bag. Caine has a slower speech pattern complete with exaggerated pauses. Combine this with the character's penchant for sunglass removal (or replacement) followed by a stunningly cheesy comment and you have the makings of a comedy. Take a look at one of my favourite shot, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d54Ok6Uz_A&feature=related .

I keep asking myself why I continue to come back to the show. Sure, it is the best CSI show ever. The science is interesting, albeit not necessarily 100% accurate, and there is some gunplay. There is an attractive blonde crime scene investigator played by Emily Procter, and a busty ballistic specialist played by Eva La Rue. It is set in Florida and let's face it, is there anybody out there who doesn't enjoy the beautiful beach view, with girls walking around in bikini and shiny, luxury cars passing by? But frankly, none of these reasons quite fit the bill as the real reason that I find myself coming back time and again.

It was Horatio Caine. I enjoy the exaggerated pauses accompanied by the slight tilt of the head. Unique personality. I find the corny lines and sunglass activity quite entertaining. What I find most endearing about the character is his passionate defense of the victims and the integrity of law. (But this is not a statement about the cops or the law in the USA okay!!). Just one of those things that strikes me, as these types of things strikes everybody. Perhaps a broader statement would be concerning the importance of looking past immediate flaws and realizing the greater good in individuals. This is at the core of the character of Horatio Caine. It is certainly a quality that I hope I embrace more and that I hope more people choose to embrace.

Horatio's famous one liner:

" Frank ............ (puts on sunglasses) ......... it's the time to hit back .....(walks out of shot)"

Well guys, that's all for now. Huh?? More Horatio Caine?
