Joseph Peter "Joe" Spano (born July 7, 1946) is an American actor who came to prominence through his role as Lt. Henry Goldblume on ''Hill Street Blues''. Spano is now best known for his work on ''NCIS'' as FBI Special Agent Tobias Fornell. ==Career== Joe Spano was a member of the San Francisco improv group The Wing, and in college debuted as Paris in a production of ''Romeo and Juliet'' in 1967. In 1968, he helped found the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, appearing in its first production, and stayed with the company for 10 years. He moved to Hollywood in the late 1970s, landing guest shots on TV and bit roles in ''American Graffiti'' (1973) and ''The Enforcer'' (1976/I). In ''Hill Street Blues'' he played Henry Goldblume during the entire seven-year run of the series, first as a detective sergeant, later as a lieutenant. Goldblume was one of Hill Street Precinct Captain Frank Furillo's trusted junior officers, serving at times as a hostage negotiator and gangs relations officer. The character was sympathetic to crime victims, sometimes coming in conflict with his duties as a police officer. Spano was one of many actors appearing through each episode, which typically had several interwoven story lines. After ''Hill Street Blues'' ended, Spano won recurring roles in television police shows ''Murder One'' (1995) and ''NYPD Blue'' (1993), again as a detective, and has appeared regularly in 27 television movies and 20 television shows like ''The X-Files'' (episodes Tempus Fugit and Max), ''Mercy Point'' and ''Amazing Grace''. Spano won the Emmy award in 1988 for Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series for a role he played in an episode of ''Midnight Caller''.
