David Caruso - A case study

Believe it or not people, but someone really took the time to sum up the utter ridiculousness that Icon of Idiocy David Caruso is in a diagram.
Good work! We like it!
Note the discrepancy in effort Caruso puts into things like quality acting - which ALWAYS should come first if one wants to call himself an actor - and the amount of screen-time time used for posing, props - We are sure Caruso would be lost without them- ridiculous mannersms etc.
The smaller the talent/charisma the more one has to rely on the above.
Persona is a living, breathing entity. That means it needs to be taken care of every few hours. Otherwise it withers. Think David Caruso who seems to have not been fine-tuning or even daring to overhaul his persona for changing times and more competition in the crime-program TV space. ...
