Consummate hard ass, plays by his own rules.

Lennie Briscoe, (Law and Order)
Loved his smart ass comments, and Jesse Martin his partner who played Ed Green, probably the best 1-2 detective combo team of all time.

Sipowicz (NYPD Blue)
Ugly as sin, but never, not once took any shit.

Steve McGarrett (Hawaii 5-0)
(Jack Lord, not Caan)
Probably the first TV cop that made love crime dramas.
Danno was a bit of a weenie though.

Joe Friday
(Dragnet)
Loved the was Webb portrayed the straight laced Friday.
Had that certain staccato mono-tone that I liked for some reason.
Never swung his arms though.

Kojak
(Telly Salavas)
"Who love ya baby?
Both Telly and his dad both died from bladder cancer.
Sad

My all time favorite was Vincent D'Onfrio
(Robert Goren, Law and Order Criminal Intent)
My opinion, the best actor in the business today.

There's a few others, but these are top ten in my book.

Not gonna read the whole thread but Nash you should be banned permanently for leaving Tony Baretta off the list
