Welcome to the
Official CSI Miami interview with -
David
Caruso - Horatio Caine
On “From the Grave”-
The opening scene of the season, which is in the confessional, shows
that I’m haunted by an event
that took place in my past. This event has shaped my character, and
continues to trouble me. It is a personal event that is a
family matter. My family life puts me in a somewhat abusive
situation. My father was abusing my mother and brother, and Horatio steps in
to prevent further damage. The result of that event has shaped Horatio’s
life. His response to the event was appropriate; it’s haunting him so when
you watch the beginning of the season you can see he is struggling with it
again.
On
the CSI:NY cross-over episode-
When Horatio traveled to
New York you get an objective view of the situation
because he is a fish out of water returning to his past. I hope we get to do
some more of that because I think it is very valuable to explore this
storyline from the true city in which it took place- New York.
On what happens in season 4-
What the viewer will see in season four is a somewhat richer
landscape. The characters are getting opportunities to bring their personal
baggage, and some of their motivations and desires to this world of forensic
science.
On the mole-
The team has come under siege from outside forces, and I
think this unit is really being scrutinized by an outside agency for a
number of reasons, which will be revealed throughout the season. One of us
is in contact with that agency. We live in very politically charged times,
and sometimes being charged in your job can garner you the type of attention
that is often dangerous.
On the development of the team-
I think the development of the team is the lynch pin of the
show. The fact that the characters are coming together
gives the show a better dimension, and makes the stakes higher.
On what he has learned about Horatio-
With maturity
and wisdom, I think he is finding a new level of appreciation, where the
fragile nature of life is concerned. Things are impacting him more heavily,
and he has a greater appreciation for the risks that his team is taking. He
has a greater understanding and a deeper appreciation for what’s important.
