WHO’S THAT REDHEAD WITH THE LITTLE PURSE? IT’S DAVID CARUSO!
Haven’t seen CSI Miami star David Caruso for awhile – 2012 to be exact, when the show went off the air. Talk about comebacks. After Caruso hit it big on NYPD Blue in 1993 he became an insufferable diva and quit the show to become a movie star. He didn’t click on the big screen and thought his career was over until he was offered a role on CSI Miami, which lasted for ten years. We don’t know what he’s doing now, but his hair is a lot longer and we’re not crazy about the man-purse…

Not only was NYPD Blue a long running show, but the crew and much of the cast stayed with the series from beginning to end and became great friends. It’s been off the air for two years and most of the people involved on the show haven’t seen each other since. Former producer Bill Clark organized a big reunion the other night at the Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant at Universal Citywalk. It was a surprise party for Ray Latulipe, who played a recurring detective, Josh Astrachan, on the show for 59 episodes and was recently diagnosed with cancer. Ray was with the show from beginning to end – when he wasn’t acting on it he was working off-camera doing a variety of things like taking people on tours of the set or collecting bets for sporting events pools. So everybody knew Ray. When they heard he was sick they got together and threw him a big party – over a hundred people showed up. Jimmy Smits and his girlfriend Wanda de Jesus, Dennis Franz, Henry Simmons, Gordon Clapp, Jacqueline Obredors, and Kim Delaney – who couldn’t make it so she sent her parents. Everyone from crew and production staff to directors, producers, and stars enjoyed the sentimental get-together and Ray went home with a pocketful of money they collected for him.
