...relief. Crockett, for instance, was an ex-college football star with a wife suing him for divorce and a "funny" pet alligator named Elvis. Two mid- season changes were crucial. The alligator, along with most of the comic relief, was dropped. And a riveting new character, the brooding Lieut. Castillo (played with remarkable power by Emmy Nominee Edward James Olmos), joined the show. Castillo, Tubbs and Crockett bear less resemblance to other cop-show protagonists than to classic western heroes--men, in the words of Critic Robert Warshow, whose "melancholy comes from the 'simple' recognition that life is unavoidably serious...
...most driven performer on the show, however, may be Olmos, who plays the stone-faced Lieut. Castillo. The Los Angeles-born actor won a Tony nomination in 1979 for his supporting role in the play Zoot Suit and produced and starred in the 1983 film The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez.

Their quintessential utility man, Marty Castillo, is listed as a catcher, though he is properly a third baseman who has played outfield and applied to pitch. With customary Third Baseman Tom Brookens rubbing a hamstring, Castillo has suddenly become a central character and beat out a double play in the second inning of the last game to furnish the essential run. He has a fine sense of mischief: "A few years ago, they came...
...Castillo, who had only four home runs during the season, hit a two-run homer as Detroit scored four times in the second inning with the help of three walks, two off starter Tim Lollar and another off reliever Greg Booker...
