The Stars Of First Blood Have Changed A Lot Since 1982

Another one of the Hope Deputies, Mitch (David Caruso) initially treats Rambo poorly, but changes his tune after seeing the scars all over the man's body. He sees the danger in this stranger and points it out to the others, uttering the classic line, "We ain't huntin' him. He's huntin' us." That turns out to be true, as Mitch becomes the first of the deputies to fall to Rambo after getting stabbed in the leg. He did not appear in the film after that, but we did blow the whistle on Galt's brutal treatment of Rambo.

Caruso's star did not take off immediately after "First Blood." He scored a recurring role on "Hill Street Blues," which was created by Steven Bochco. He went on to appear in "Twins," "King of New York," and "Mad Dog and Glory" before he scored the role of Detective John Kelly in the groundbreaking "NYPD Blue," also produced by Bochco. Caruso decided to bail out after just one season, though, and tried becoming a movie star with projects like "Jade" and "Kiss Of Death." It did not work.

After kicking around for a while, he returned to TV prominence as sunglasses maestro Horatio Caine in "CSI: Miami." However, since that show went off the air in 2012, Caruso hasn't done anything acting-wise.
