The crafty（狡猾的）and calculating（精明的）public security chief（公安局长）and villain（反派）of the show, played by veteran actor（老戏骨）Xu Yajun. He appears decent but turns out to be a sycophant（阿谀奉承者）, always thinking about his next move to advance his political career.

A sycophant is a person who behaves in a sycophantic way.
a dictator surrounded by sycophants, frightened to tell him what he may not like

这里的veteran actor就有老戏骨的意思。
veteran可以作名词，表示“经验丰富的人，老手”。

veteran也有形容词的意思，表示“资深的，经验丰富的”。
