biography
A tall, commanding Latino actor with a powerful but lean build and a sharply-sculpted face with extremely high cheekbones, Jimmy Smits is best known for his roles on two TV series produced by Steven Bochco: as attorney Victor Sifuentes on NBC's "L.A. Law" and police detective Bobby Simone on ABC's "NYPD Blue". A community organizer in his native New York before he switched to acting, he appeared in small roles with the New York Shakespeare Festival and several regional theaters before landing the role of Don Johnson's doomed partner in the 1984 series pilot for NBC's popular "Miami Vice".
