Tanaka from "Magnum, PI" (messy, small, from a racial minority)-- Can't remember their names, but two odd ball British detectives from a recent series about the current day Scotland Yard -- an Oxford-educated Lord whose existence pisses off the rest of the force and is far too high class for his job to everyone's views (but is actually good at) and his #2, a Cockney single mom who irritates men and needs to take a lot of time off to care for elderly mom (but is also very good at her job)-- Dirty Harry, who never follows rules, is rude to civilians, damages a lot of property, and doesn't check in with his superiors ever-- Any of the "Untouchables" from the movie.  The old beat cop who tolerates corruption and knows everything but doesn't get involved (the Sean Connery character).  The young, dedicated go-getter who wants to clean up everything (Elliott Ness).  The young officer who hasn't been corrupted yet (Stone).  Or the desk jockey who somehow ends up on a real case (the IRS guy).BTW, the Aasimar Costume Designer should seem shallow, self-centered, and possibly gay, but he actually isn't any of the above.  The clothing designer in the recent British 1930s-set comedy "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" is who I'm thinking of.Also BTW, go re-see "Shakespeare in Love", there's gotta be stuff to mine from there.</blockquote>
