Caruso graduated from the University of Southern California where he studied filmmaking, according to the bio on his Vimeo page. He's currently working with four other film school grads on "Making the American Man," a documentary about American masculinity as told through the voices of small businesses geared towards the male demographic.
He also says, "I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot in my life with my family and feel I have a global appreciation for art, architecture, culture, and film in general."
But what many really want to know is if he has a girlfriend.

There were a few who vehemently disagreed with Caruso's "hotness" factor.
