My Take
Olivia Brown will always be Detective Trudy Joplin to me, holding her own across five seasons of Miami Vice in a famously male-dominated genre. That kind of longevity on a flagship NBC series is no accident. Her record bounces between television and film, which tells me she is a working professional first, the sort of performer who anchors a scene without demanding the spotlight. I have a soft spot for actors who make the ensemble better rather than chase top billing. Behind all that neon-soaked 1980s style, she was part of what gave the show its grounding.
