Luca Burnett

Luca Burnett, is a fictional, supporting character from the 1982 television series Police Squad! He is a henchman working for crime boss, Montague Martin.

Background
Luca is sent by Montague Martin to kill a boxer called Mike Schultz, after he won a boxing match that he was meant to deliberately lose. Martin fixed the boxing match beforehand but by Mike winning, Montague Martin lost a lot of money. Investigators initially rule Mike's death as a suicide, but Captain Ed Hocken isn't convinced that a boxer would kill himself right after the biggest win of his career.

At the Police Squad crime lab, scientist Ted Olsen shows Lieutenant Frank Drebin and Ed the facial hair recovered from the Schultz' crime scene through a microscope (in a parody of a Gillette Atra shaving advertisement of the early 1980s). The hair belongs to Luca. Frank describes Luca as "a five time loser, who works for Montague Martin". He goes undercover as a boxing manager to expose Martin's fight fixing operation. He eventually signs talented up and coming boxer, Buddy Briggs. Frank tells Buddy that he won't have to lose fights anymore.

Montague Martin sends Luca to kidnap Buddy's wife, Mary to force Buddy to lose the fight. Frank comes to Mary's rescue and Luca takes Mary hostage and pulls her into a steam room at gunpoint, with Frank closely behind. A shootout between Frank and Luca begins, which is completely obscured due to the steam. However, we hear Frank finally shoot Luca, and Frank and Mary drive back to the boxing match.
