On the final day of sessions at PubCon Las Vegas 2007 David Caruso (star of CSI Miami) dropped by to look around the expo area and the Las Vegas Convention Center in general. He and partner Nils Lar were about to announce a new technology company at CES (Lexicon Digital Communications which he talks about with CNET’s Kara Tsuboi here) and wanted to see what the location was like. I got a chance to speak to both Mr. Caruso and Mr. Lar for a moment but they were very vague about their plans just as they were later in the CNET video report.
Also similar to what can be seen in the CNET video with Kara the television star likes to flirt. My wife was standing nearby watching as David Caruso had his picture taken in the convention center by a professional photographer he had brought with him. During a break in taking photos he walked over to her and commented that she was very attractive and asked if she would like her picture taken with him.
So, it’s true that David Caruso showed no interest in a picture taken with me while I spoke to him. It’s also true that he sought out my wife for a photo. Luckily, I can salve my ego with the knowledge that my wife is more attractive than I am AND the fact that I don’t want “Horatio Caine” (Caruso’s character name on the show) flirting with me. : )
More seriously, David Caruso seemed like a nice guy and was remarkably patient about having his picture taken or giving an autograph to those that asked. If I had been more aggressive about getting a picture with him (or if I’d been an attractive woman) I could have had one too.
