   I'd pick Miami Vice's Lt. Castillo over Skinner any day:   
      
   - Skinner was in fewer than half of TXF's episodes; Castillo appeared in   
   105 of 111 episodes (he joined after the first 6 because Gregory Sierra,   
   who played the previous Lieutenant, didn't want to do a series).   
      
   - Castillo was a strong enough character that four or five episodes were   
   centered on him; I recall one Skinner-based ep at best.   
      
   - Castillo's character was far more developed, in fact Eddie Olmos had him   
   fully drawn before he even uttered one line of dialog.  Skinner was far   
   more generically drawn.   
      
   - Castillo is far and away the fanbase's favorite secondary character; most   
   X-philes prefer CSM, RatBoy, Deep Throat, or TLG to Skinner.   
      
   - Olmos won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe playing Castillo; Pillegi   
   earned only ensemble nominations and never won.

   Who is "the long gunman"?
