Profile: Olmos Famous

I was watching Battlestar Gallactica the other night and marveling at Edward James Olmos. So here is a quick look at some of his career choices told in photos.

Zoot Suit 1981

Blade Runner 1982

Miami Vice 1984-1989

American Me 1992

The Road

To El Dorado 2000

BSG 2004-2009

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2008

It's a pretty eclectic body of work. This doesn't even include Stand And Deliver (1988) which garnered him an Oscar nomination for best actor, Triumph Of The Spirit (1989), Wolfen (1981), My Family (1995), Selena (1997) or a ton of stage work as well as directing.

If there is one regret I have, it's I wished just once he'd have punched Don Johnson during the Vice years. Look at Olmos on that show. Every glance at Johnson is seething with hatred, or maybe that's just me projecting.
