which yielded: [http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=David+Caruso+Bad+Actor&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f](http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=David+Caruso+Bad+Actor&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f) …which turned up some interesting hits such as… > **[Have You Seen This Hilarious David Caruso Sunglasses Acting Montage?](https://methodshop.com/david-caruso-sunglasses-acting-montage/)** > > You have to see this funny David Caruso sunglasses montage. Seriously, when did talking slowly while putting on a pair of sunglasses become "acting"? …which has a link that take you to a 7 minute montage of Caruso’s one-liners that rank among the worst in the history of drama. Even if you love to hate D.C., this might be more than you can stomach. You might find a few other gems (which I’m still mining) at the the Google search, above. ---

Wasn’t the “bad actor” description redundant? I’ve mentioned this in other threads but I’m still trying to figure out - 1 - Instead of facing the bad guy in a square stance why he always stands at a 45 degree angle when questioning a suspect. 2 - Why he has to tilt his head at a 45 degree angle when talking to a woman (usually this week’s damsel in distress) or a child. ---

In my opinion, his best role was KitKat, in the Bruce Willis tour de force, _Hudson Hawk_. ---

That is amazing! I started watching CSI: Miami reruns late Saturday nights solely to watch great entertainment like this. And it’s not just the sunglasses or the one-liners. It’s also the fact that every single line is delivered in the same way: Begin speaking by looking down and maybe slightly to the side. Finish the line by looking the person straight in the eye. ---

Every cop I know approaches/questions from a 45-degree angle. It’s one of the things they are taught to do. If sudden violence erupts, it’s a better defensive position. ---

This guy nails the stance AND the head tilt [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/8NCTUwfTq2I/hqdefault.jpg "David Caruso Impression as CSI Horatio Caine by Roman Danylo") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NCTUwfTq2I)
