Columbo and His Most Memorable Suspects
Columbo usually lets the audience see the crime before he starts asking questions. The pleasure is watching the lieutenant circle back to the detail that the suspect thought was safe. Carsini, Franklin, Williams, Scott and other polished antagonists give him a different puzzle each time.

The Suspects Who Nearly Outsmart Columbo
Columbo’s suspects tend to have money, influence or a carefully prepared alibi. Carsini, Hollister, Janus, Franklin and Williams are among the characters with the resources or nerve to make his work difficult; the lieutenant ranks high for spotting the flaw that changes everything.

The Most Memorable Columbo Personalities
Some suspects are entertaining because they are charming; others because they are far too sure of themselves. Wilson, Beth, Roger and Viveca bring very different manners to Columbo’s questions, while the lieutenant’s rumpled politeness gives the series its dry humor. This list is about screen presence, not innocence.
