Do you know that one of the first TV appearances of legendary Edward James Olmos was on Kojak, almost 10 years before he starred in his biggest role up to that date as the taciturn police Lieutenant Martin Castillo in the television series Miami Vice, opposite Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas, for which he was awarded a Golden Globe and an Emmy in 1985?
From Season 3 Episode 14 "How Cruel the Frost, How Bright the Stars": Christmas Eve is anything but peaceful for Kojak and his men. A woman is convinced her boyfriend is going to commit some kind of crime-but she doesn't know what, and a jealous husband is looking to kill his cheating wife.

How about that? Castillo is wearing Miami Vice-appropriate colours for once.

many actors who became famous later in their career, in this show. nice. whereas in Columbo, it had many guest stars who were already famous.

Nice observation and another fantastic detective show.

That was the reason they were guest "stars". Columbo still had a lot of unknowns appear in bit parts.

Watch the Edward James Olmos interview about this scene. It’s because of Olmos that Telly Savalas flips his badge open at the bar. Brilliant story…😎

First time I saw Edward James Olmos was season 1 CHiPs episode “Flashback” where he’s one of Ponch’s friends back in the day.

And right in his first credited work on TV, Eddie was called "Prima Donna" by Telly Savalas because of this scene. Eddie was bothered with the script that would be this scene that wasn't working for him and asked to cut it the scene, then Telly got mad at Eddie on set! Eddie is a very instinctive actor and likes to be in control of his characters and reassured that the scene will actually work! No wonder characters like El Pachuco, Gaff, Jaime Escalante, Gregório Cortez and Lieutenant Castillo seem to be intuitive! By the way, we can say that EJO in the 70s was almost a Latin version of John Travolta right?! Both beautiful but for me EJO it's much more handsome!❤️💙

So a one-shot actor with fewer lines than Telly had fingers wants to CUT A SCENE but he's NOT a prima Donna? That's kind of the definition.

@@jamespfitz Calm down amigo,He didn't disagree and neither did I disagree with what Telly called him, as even he was afraid of losing his chance but acting is about that,it's about taking risks and a lot of times yes, questioning certain scenes, he's not the first actor to do this, it won't even be the last as it's common! And the director who was directing this episode agreed with Eddie James and remade it in a way that was effective for everyone involved.

@Jim F I've watched an interview with EJO recently and he said that the argument was that he's character was just the bartender and did not knew the character of kojak so why would he start giving information about bar customers to a stranger. that's when he argued that the scene did not work and it is then when he was called a prima donna. he then suggested that kojak show his badge which is later shown in the scene
