Maybe you prefer light relief characters like Freddie (Steve Edge) or Colin Babcock (Mathew Baynton). Then there are those who need a helping hand, and the outsiders who temporarily join the team.

Whoever the best is in your eyes, we need your help crowning the Caribbean crime show's ultimate cameo champion.
