Edward James Olmos

Edward James Olmos (born 24 February 1947 in Los Angeles, California, USA) is an American actor, director, producer, and activist. He is best known for his roles as Lieutenant Martin "Marty" Castillo in the television series Miami Vice (1984–1989), actor in and director of American Me (1992), William Adama in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica (2004–09), teacher Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver (1988), and Detective Gaff in Blade Runner (1982), and its sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017). In 2018, he played the father of two members of an outlaw motorcycle club in the FX series Mayans MC.

Mr Olmos signed my Miami Vice 8x10 through the mail in February 2016. I finally got to meet him at Comic Con Scotland Aberdeen in March 2026, where he signed my American Me DVD sleeve.
