The Worst Actor on Television?

I should have posted this weeks ago. Thanks to Hoodlumman for providing this link. He provided the link in the lively discussion for my post, What Are You Watching? Subsequently, I have watched this about five times and showed it to friends and family. It is a compilation of the "best" of Horatio Cain's (played by the one and only David Caruso) dramatic one-liners right before the opening credits roll on "CSI: Miami". As it unfurls before you, it just builds and builds in absurdity. No, it is not a Saturday Night Live skit (it is funnier than anything on SNL for about a decade). This is the real thing. Be sure to stick with it to the end, because the final scenes are the best. Amazingly, he delivers about 80% of his dialogue throughout each episode in the same dramatic, stilted manner. And it doesn't matter how important the dialogue is in any particular scene. ("Frank...excuse me [puts on shades]...I need to go...to the restroom"). I know this because I have watched way more "CSI: Miami" than I ever wanted to. My usually sane wife absolutely loves this show.

So, my question to you is this: is there a worse actor on television than David "Shades" Caruso? Before you answer that question, watch this clip compilation in its entirety.
