Horatio Caine

Just finished watching an episode of "CSI: Miami" on A&E. 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. For an idea of just how cheesy it is, go to the following web address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sarYH0z948.

I keep asking myself why I continue to come back to the show. Sure, it is a CSI show. 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 Proctor. It is set in Florida and let's face it, is there anybody out there who doesn't enjoy fun in the sun? Frankly, none of these reasons quite fit the bill as the real reason that I find myself coming back time and again.

Horatio Caine. I enjoy the exaggerated pauses accompanied by the slight tilt of the head. 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. This is not a statement about the cops or the law in this country. Just one of those things that strikes me, as these types of things strike 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. That's all for now.
