Reginald VelJohnson’s acting abilities range all the way from police officer to law enforcer.

Everything I see this guy in, he is playing a cop. Family Matters, Die Hard, Ghostbusters, Turner and Hooch. I am starting to think he shows up for auditions wearing a cop outfit no matter what the part is. I looked him up on IMDB and it was basically a list of every synonym for cop. Sergeant Al Powell, Captain Al Graff, Lieutenant, Officer Winslow, Patrolman, Detective Bob Hymes, Policeman at Courtroom, Detective David Sutton.
IMDB.com says he played “The Santa Thief” on an episode of 227.( I never saw 227 but apparently it is a who’s who of black comedic nobodies. I recognize the mom from Sister, Sister only. )
Reggie Vel J must have been so torn up inside having to play a thief. You know any crime he committed while playing that character, deep down he wanted to arrest himself.
RVJ is so known as a cop, I even saw some girls dressed as “The Sexy Reginald VelJohnson” this Halloween.
I imagine this is the face he makes when he finds out he will not be playing the role of a cop:
