Name any big modern-day procedural that has been running for at least 10 years. Whatever your answer is, Miriam A. Hyman has probably been on it. Her impressive streak began in 2005, when she guest starred on Season 16, Episode 6 of "Law & Order" as a medical assistant. Later down the line, she would appear on Season 15, Episode 6 of "Grey's Anatomy" as the mother of a young patient with cancer. After that, she hopped onto Season 16, Episode 9 of "NCIS" and Season 1, Episode 11 of "The Rookie" respectively. That's already a lot of big appearances, but those aren't even Hyman's most notable role on a procedural.
Between Seasons 6 through 8 of the mega-popular CBS series "Blue Bloods," Hyman repeatedly guest starred on the series as resident medical examiner Emile Cooper. She proves to be a huge help to the Reagan family of police officers on several occasions. Despite her prominent role for this era of "Blue Bloods," Hyman exited the series after a final appearance in 2017, and Cooper has seldom been mentioned on the show since.
