Lt. Carillo - (Pedro Armendariz Jr.)

Picture from the opening titles - Pedro Armendariz

How can I shortly describe Lt. Carillo? Spruce moustache, light colored jacket and of course white hat. He is the boss of Key Mariah's police station and he is permanently in the controversy with Nick. He knows that he is not able to solve all cases and he needs Nick' help therefore he tolerates Nick and Nick's style of investigation. Carillo is married, but I think that his wife wasn't shown in the story.

The part of Lt. Carillo was played by Pedro Armendariz (born 1930 in Mexico). Pedro's father was an actor too and that's the reason why he used "Jr." in his name. He played in tens of movies and serial stories (usually shooted in Mexico or in Mexican production) and I wrote only some titles from last years here.

Sgt. Ollie Porter is divorced, his ex-wife with 5 year old daughter live in Phoenix. Before he had arrived to Key Mariah, he worked 20 years in Philadelphia as policeman. He came to Key Mariah to search for murderer and they became friends with Nick very soon. He had lots of ideas about police investigation but he saw very soon that things are going their own way. He wants to help Nick but Carillo dislike it and Ollie had to conceal it.

Eugene Clark played the part of Ollie Porter. The list of his roles is very long and you can see here only roles from 90's.

Sgt. Gregory - (Ari Sorko-Ram)

Ari Sorko-Ram

Lt. Carillo dislikes Nick, but Sgt. Gregory hates him. He thinks that Nick is a leech and the worst criminal on Key Mariah. Lt. Carillo has to defend Nick against Gregory. When Carillo disappear from story, Gregory was promoted to head cop on Key Mariah.

pathologist Rollie - (Allen Nashman)

Allen Nashman

Pathologist Rollie (surname his brother Jerome is Peters, so I think that his surname is the same) is simple blockhead. He knows nothing except of his dead bodies. He was married but today he is in platonic and secret love with Sylvie. Nick knows it and everytime he needs Rollie's help he abuses it. Sylvie flirts with Rollie and he lets out everything he knows.

The part of Rollie was played by Allen Nashman. I was not very successful in finding information about him - I've found only two other his roles.

cop Deke - (Craig Urbani)

He debuts in episode "May Divorce be with You" (I think) and after that he appears irregularly and more and more often in remaining episodes. At first sight he looks like idiot and when he opens his mouth you learn that he is really booby. He is babbler and unluckily he loves his job. He has one very special skill - he is able angered Sgt. Gregory very much. Sgt. Gregory can't fire him because Deke is nephew of mayor.

Deke was played (in my opinion he didn't play - he was simply standing at some distance and giving very, very stupid face) by Craig Urbani. There is only one other role in IMDB.:
