Olmos: Lt. Castillo Killed by 'Miami Vice' Cops on SIRIUS XM

[seanwestervelt]

The original supervisor was played by Gregory Sierra (of Barney Miller fame) and was killed on duty after the first couple episides. Castillo showed up shortly thereafter. After Crockett & Tubbs were already partners.

It's too bad he won't live! But then again, who does?

As manager, I always tried to act more like Lt Castillo. Unfortunately, I looked more like Switek.

He never smiled in any episode ... :(

[vargas37]

@tenfiveracer he does in a couple.

I could see everyone from vice still in action too, Thomas, Johnson, Olmos, and Talbot are almost ageless with possible exception of hair. I can imagine tubbs and Crockett, maybe updating their wardrobe and driving around in a brand new, white 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia, and Switeck in a turqoise 2003 Thunderbird.

Eddie J Olmos, is a GREAT actor, and a kickass Lt...... who was the IDIOT, to kill off Lt. Castillo? Jackasses.

@cabrone05 I can see a bunch of cops in their 60's running the streets of Miami!

@jgjklhlgkbmbkjkjbfsg im sure michael mann could come up with something do a one off special or something. IF YOU ARE READING THIS MIACHAEL MANN PLEASE PLEASE COME UP WITH SOMETHING RELATING TO THE SHOW .

He's trying to kill off that character so he can't be asked to play him again. Castillo was always such an enigmatic character, I believe that he could support his own spin- off & get into HOW Castillo became Lt for MV- ..just end the series with being assigned to MV & getting these new guys Crockett & Tubbs (not yet partners). You can get at least two seasons' worth of ratings off that...

@MarcusDarling4026 i think crockett and tubbs were already partners when he showed up. the original lt was killed in the first few episodes, and they started their partnership in the pilot

[Willroast]

The bottom line is that Don Johnson will never work with Thomas again. I mean, DJ won't even talk about it during interviews for crying out load. And considering that he is mega-rich from Nash Bridges, I doubt that will ever change. Sad, but true.

[MrTommyrio]

what? see it first time. HE IS DEAD???????

[thebakerman1]

@cabrone05 I've always said they should do this (develop an MV made-for-TV movie). So far I've never heard even a hint about this ever happening though :(

[todosalamierda]

Lt. Castillo, one of the most fierce, honorable and strong characters of TV. Eddie Olmos is a true role model.

[HEWESREDFISHER16]

Richard James Olmos-The King.

[Mrster]

@HEWESREDFISHER16

Richard?

[senorverde09]

Take a moment for Lt. Martin Castillo, for he did for us in every episode of Miami Vice with his skinny tie, furry mustache, and that trademark cold hard stare.

[MrBillyLaw]

Love you Olmos

[TheMechanic11]

Long live Marty Castillo!
