* OldShame: Edward James Olmos all but pretends his time on ''Series/MiamiVice'' didn't happen, despite winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his performance as Lieutenant Castillo.
* PlayingAgainstType: For ''Film/TheWonderfulIceCreamSuit'', he was originally offered the role of the poet Villanazul, but Olmos asked if he could play the dirty and ditzy Vámonos instead. Director Creator/StuartGordon, who had only seen Olmos in serious roles at the time, took a long {{beat}} before saying, "Well, that's different." He wasn't convinced until Olmos started reciting the character's lines and proved he could do comedy.

Instantly recognizable for his iconic roles, craggy features and authoritative, gravelly voice, Olmos first came to prominence as the mysterious Detective Gaff in the sci-fi classic ''Film/BladeRunner''. Since then he has repeatedly garnered critical acclaim as both an actor and director, and is perhaps most memorable for his roles in ''Series/MiamiVice'', ''Film/{{Selena}}'', and ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003''. In 1988 he received an UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award|for Best Actor in a Leading Role}} nomination for ''Film/StandAndDeliver'', in which he played Jaime Escalante, the original CoolTeacher[=/=]SternTeacher combo. You know all those movies about an inner-city school gaining an unusual but inspirational teacher? Yeah, Olmos pretty much originated that role.
