Company</a>. Although he has in the past performed Shakespeare, his physical appearance led to his being typecast early in his career as a cop. (By Franz's own count, the character of Andy Sipowicz was his 28th role as a police officer.) He also guest starred in shows such as <i><a href="/wiki/The_A-Team" title="The A-Team">The A-Team</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Hunter_(1984_American_TV_series)" title="Hunter (1984 American TV series)">Hunter</a></i>. Other major roles were on the television series <i><a href="/wiki/Hill_Street_Blues" title="Hill Street Blues">Hill Street Blues</a></i> in which he played two characters over the run of the show. Franz first played the role of the corrupt Detective Sal Benedetto in the 1982–1983 season. Benedetto eventually commits suicide when a large-scale scam he was running fails. Franz returned to the series in 1985 as main character Lt. Norman Buntz, remaining until the show's end in 1987. He also starred in the short-lived <i><a href="/wiki/Beverly_Hills_Buntz" title="Beverly Hills Buntz">Beverly Hills Buntz</a></i> as the same character. </p><p>During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Franz worked regularly with directors <a href="/wiki/Brian_De_Palma" title="Brian De Palma">Brian De Palma</a> and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Altman" title="Robert Altman">Robert Altman</a>. He appeared in three of Altman's films from this period, and five of De Palma's. In addition, he appeared as airport police captain Carmine Lorenzo in the 1990 film <i><a href="/wiki/Die_Hard_2" title="Die Hard 2">Die Hard 2</a></i>.
