Sgt. Tartaglia on Broadway Is My Beat

This character provided the little bit of humor to an otherwise normally grim program. He was the true-blue assistant to Detective Danny Clover, the star of the program. A stroke of genius by the writers and producers, because the program was really too much on the dark side.

Veteran character actor Charles Calvert portrayed Det. Sgt. Gino Tartaglia in the Hollywood run of Broadway Is My Beat

Gino Tartaglia had a wife who could cook but Danny never stopped by. His daughter moved out; to his dismay. Where Mugavin was a hard ass Gino was smooth who kept Danny in business with facts.

I love this show. If it's still o when I bring my daughter home from school, I give her the key and listen till it's over. Usually I am left thinking...Great writers and delivery, 1st rate
