Another cop, John McClane (Bruce Willis).
Bruce Willis! I love that episode “No Exit.”
THE FAST EDDIE!
Don Johnson,John Diehl y Michael Talbot 💕🌹🌺🇵🇷🇵🇷
ANY with Don in it!!!!
The Liam Neeson shot is literally the rehearsal for Taken
Looking for this comment. 👏👏👏
... and pretty much the whole of Neeson's career.
🤣
Literally?? Like, not figuratively. But literally???
@@EyeTunz So they had rehearsals for that movie in the 80's?
Back in college, this TV show was appointment television for my twin brother and I. He and I would fry up some chicken nuggets and fries, turn off the lights in our apartment sit back in our leather recliners and enjoy dinner while watching this awesome show. He and I never missed and episode. My twin brother committed suicide in 1999. Just seeing the logo of this TV show brings back so much nostalgia. I miss my brother so much. He was my best friend. I wish I could go back in time to those days just to hang out with him again.
Wow that was deep. God bless friend!
Man I'm sorry to hear that praying for you man
ok boomer
@@dudecartwright ????
Sorry for your loss
The casting department was A+, top notch talent.
Right?!!! Exactly what I was thinking…
Indeed
Bonnie timmerman
World's top superstar finder. Midas touch.
IMDB doesn't show a credit for a casting director for the series and only one person who was a casting assistant for the entire run of the show (bet she has some interesting tales to tell). The writers and directors for various episodes probably had a lot of influence on casting the less well known actors.
This was the show back in the day that had EVERYTHING: the sleek neo-noir cinematography, the glamorous Miami setting, the new wave music & big pop/rock hits, the cutting edge fashion trends, the exotic cars, and the big name actors & guest star celebrities. No wonder people stayed home on Friday nights just to watch it on TV back in the 80s.
I am so stealing this line for my show!
And the cocaine
John Roberts and Mickey Munday were living the irl Miami Vice setting and plot/s at the time it was running
There are actually a lot of famous names missing from this list such as Ving Rhames, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburne, Chris Rock, Pam Grier, Luis Guzman, David Strathairn, James Remar, Nathan Lane, John Heard, Ron Perlman, Wesley Snipes, Vincent D'Onofrio, Annette Bening, Melanie Griffith, Ian McShane, Philipp Baker Hall, Kelly Lynch, Miguel Ferrer, Penelope Ann Miller, Alfred Molina, R Lee Ermey, James Hong, Iman, Melissa Leo, Amanda Plummer, Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) and a lot more!
Please make version 2!
Wow!
Wasn't Marisa Tomei the serial killer targeting men who had Rico tied to a bed?
@@MrGL1973 Little Miss Dangerous? Not Tomei.
@@daynechastant Who was it then? She looked like either Marisa Tomei or Winona Ryder to me but I didn't think it was Winona.
2:43 They hung up the phone before he could tell them he had a very particular set of skills.
Was thinking the same thing
@@dad_jokes_4ever226 DANG IT!!!! The internet beat me to it.
Lol! Too funny.
That movie sucked
I recently read an article about the making of this show and they actually went in and using carefully chosen colors did painting and repairs and revived some of the neighborhoods. This helped to energize the city, and save areas.
It created what they call the "Miami Vice affect".
That's cool to hear!
*effect
@qbasic16 Thanks teacher!!!😂👌👍
From everything I have heard Michael Mann has an astounding eye for talent, in front of and behind the camera. A formidable producer/director...
That and a brooding sense of drama and non stop motion on the screen...and lots of explosions!
Bonnie timmerman was his casting director too. He had worked with her in theatre.
No way Michael Mann was behind miami vice 😳 no wonder it was so good
@@joannekelly5132She was a powerhouse casting director. One look at her credentials and you’ll know what I mean.
The last thing I expected was to hear Teller speak. Thank you for this upload.
Liam Neeson has always delivered his famous lines while he was on the phone :-)
Liam s@cks, always the same way of looking and acting, just as that guy from the matrix
Liam Neeson playing the same role since the 80's.
Still one of the best tv series there is. No need for a remake re runs are more than adequate 😁👍
No remake but a revival would be awesome if done right.
Bruce Willis was RUTHLESS in Miami Vice! Definitely one of my favorite performances of his.
Well, he died of lead poisoning at the end. No Yippee Ki-Yay MF!
I love him in Moonlighting with Cybill Shepherd. When the movie Die Hard came out I went to see it just because he was in it. I was surprised how awesome that movie was. I remember there was a controversy because he was not well know and he was pay handsomely for that movie but it was the movie that made him a Super Star. So it all works out for him and the producers of the film. A blockbuster of a film huge success when it came out.
My father was, honest to God, a vice cop in Miami in the 70s. He retired in 1980. After this show became the hit that it is/was he had business cards made that said
"Bill Kennedy
I was Miami Vice before Miami Vice was Miami Vice"
(He was also a homicide detective, on the bomb squad and an arson Investigator but that does not have the same cultural impact, lol)
That's weird. Your dad is quite the narcissist.
That's so cool! Your Dad sounds like a great personality as well as a good cop!
Haha 😂 So cool!
I think it's safe to say the casting director had a good eye for talent.
Bonnie timmerman
I dressed like Sonny Crockett for a job interview in 1986, I got the job and learned during discussions about who to chose, they referred to me as "the Miami Vice guy".
It was the no socks
Yeah I used to dress like him also. They would just call me Don Johnson. Oh the 80s!
wow amazing!!
@@vlasquez53 I was a child in 1986 but gals called me "Big Johnson" when I became a man. Never asked why.
then you found out on the first day your boss is tough and dresses as Castillo :D
There will be no show again like Miami Vice, hands down...I am going to watch the entire 5 year seasons again...
It's on Hulu right now, and Hulu is having a "free" trail.
Michael Mann also did Starsky & Hutch and Vegas and if you think about it the formats are similar, detectives with cool cars and fast lifestyles. I mean, Vice had the advantage of taking place after Scarface and in the MTV era of stereo TV. I remember NBC used to advertise "In Stereo" at the bottom of the screen when it came on TV.
Miami Vice was a huge platform for many up and coming stars in the 80s. I love this show. #MiamiViceforever
It sure was!
Yeah its was huge back in the day.
Ed O'Neil played an undercover agent trying to take down an international women's shoes knockoffs smuggling ring
Best comment right here.
“After midnight, we gonna sell a lotta shoes!!!”
Unfortunately Marcie was a mole for the cartel
they had a secret tunnel where the cartel would move shoes directly to his basement
I know I'm a sucker but was that really a part he played
Ow Helena Bonham Carter is one actress I’d never think in a millions would have been on Miami Vice. It would be like finding out Kenneth Branagh did a guest spot on 21 Jump Street.
Yeah. She made a fool of herself by going witch.
R.I.P. Bill Paxton
Man left us too soon
The only actor to be killed by a Predator, Alien, & Terminator
Game over man game over.
That was a great episode, "Streetwise".
yea sad right? please get your heart checked. Several comedians and actors have died from unknown heart ailments.
the amount of charisma and charm miami vice had and with the upcoming actors who got their start on this....
astonishing.
OMG in my 43 years I never heard Teller's voice till now....that alone ranks it one of my favorite YT clips of all time..😁
same lol
7:57 i love/hate it
I had no idea of this encyclopedia of awesomeness as Vice was before my time. I will be marathoning the hell outta these and hoping for Maximum Ed O'Neill.
It's a great show for the most part that has aged quite well thanks to a variety of factors.
8:07 Holy sh*t, Teller talks. 😆
I know right! Lol..
Yup. Feels wrong somehow.
Perhaps it’s AI?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know, I was the saying the same thing!
Love Ed O'Neill, such a funny guy from that hilarious sitcom Marriage with children.
Lol i love how we just ignore Phil Collins so Kyra Sedgwick can take center stage
Was thinking exactly the same 😊
Honestly! I was just about to say the same thing til I saw this comment! 🤣🤣
Three more geniuses. He was already famous
@@chiefscheider Go play in traffic.
Yes! Thank you! Been looking for this comment.
"Nobody knows how tough it is to raise a family on a cops salary" - Drives a Ferrari, lives on a yacht, wears designer clothes...
My dad told me, when I was a teen watching this show with him, that the car, boat are taken from drug dealers and Sonny just keeps them. 😬
@@kessler003 Nope. They ARE seized from drug dealers and criminals, but are owned by the department. Sonny is allowed to use them to maintain his undercover identity. When the first Ferrari gets blown up, Sonny goes to Castillo about a replacement, exclaiming how could he go to multi million dollar drug deals. That’s when he got the iconic white Testarossa - also a seized vehicle belonging to the department. None of the toys Crockett uses are his. Fun Fact(s): the original ‘Ferrari Daytona’ was actually a kit car built on a Corvette chassis. Ferrari hated that they did that so they donated a Testarossa. Since most scenes were filmed at night, they had to paint the car white so it would appear on screen better.
@@DivingDirt Nice man. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
He saves money on socks.
As Crockett told Caitlyn Davies (played by Sheena Easton) in Episode #76 "Like A Hurricane", everything is owned by the Miami PD, even his shoes.
Was a great stepping stone for many actors. Vice had great acting in almost every episode.
Michael Mann, the producer and director of Miami Vice and great movies such Heat with Pacino and De Niro, is truly a very underrated director and producer !!
2 more notables thief and manhunter, intense dramas
Very highly rated director and producer actually
he's not remotely under rated. hes big time
Who else thought „Who the f… is Kyra Sedgwick?“ while staring at PHIL COLLINS? 🤣
About 10 years ago she coled a detective show called The Closer.
@@davidjackson2524 and she's also married to freaking KEVIN BACON!!!
Don't forget the awesome movie"Heart And Souls" with RDJ..Alfre Woodard..Charles Grodin..Elizabeth Shue..Tom Sizemore..
And her part with Gerard Butler in GAMER. 🙂
Oh! Think twice 😁👊
OMG, this is the first time I hear Teller speak! Even better, he sounds just the way I thought he would :)
im surprised people dont know he can talk, ive heard him a couple of times speaking on the Desertbus charity streams in last 10 years
Bonnie TImmerman was the hottest casting director in the business back then. I was an assistant at ICM and we were always trying to get our clients on Vice.
Missing, missing, missing.
Glenn Frey, of the Eagles.
R.I.P. Glenn.
Already famous.
He's not missing, this compilation is about people in the show Before they got famous
They showed Teller, I wonder why they didn't show Penn (of Penn & Teller). He was on that one episode that was shot in New York City and Glen Frey sang the theme song for that episode
Yeah he was already famous..mr.smuggler blue himself! He belonged to the city...
He was already a star ..
I’ve known Teller my whole 37 years and this was the first time I’ve ever heard him speak
Man that was awesome!!!!!! The 80's were cheesy as hell and I'd go back any day of the week.
80s great memories for me. I was in my 20s party time!
@@gitaaa7740 😊
I’d love to watch these all again now that I’d recognise more of the actors. I only watched Miami Vice as a kid when they came out.
Imagine the memories some of these people must have, to be famous in the 80's was living the dream.
Ed O'Neill was the most surprising at first, then I heard and saw Teller speaking, and I spit my coffee all over the screen.
The actor opposite Teller is Xander Berkeley. He was John Connor's foster dad in T2 : Judgement Day. He's been continually working up until today.
Think he was on Walking Dead too where he tried to have Maggie killed.
Ralph in "Heat", and The final Candyman victim.
He also tried to kill president "Harrison Ford" in Air Force One.
yes. couldnt think of his name
24
Wow. Didn't know some of these actors been acting for a long time. Gotta go with Ed O'Neill being my favorite cameo since his Al Bundy role is so memorable. Seeing him in the video caught me off guard. Phil Collins would be next then Liam Neeson.
I feel like the Phil Collins one doesn't count because at the time his appearance was a big deal and announced all over the place beforehand. He was already the top guy on the radio and MTV.
A young, and dare I say HOT, Ed O’Neill! Folks forget that he was deliberately trying to look old and slovenly for his role as Al Bundy on Married with Children.
We love ❤️ Miami Vice ♥️🇬🇷
Wow!!!!... All these years and some random UA-cam video comes along on a Saturday and shows me my first time actually hearing Teller speak...
Crazy that I’m watching this on the day Bill Russell passed away. R.I.P. to one of the greats. 👏🏼💐
In hindsight you go towards what's cool! Miami Vice was the coolest show around at that time.
Tony Sirico should be a honorable mention. He made it big in The Sopranos as Paulie Walnuts :)
There were a bunch of prolific character actors in those clips. Too bad they didn’t get honorable mentions.
Watched MV frequently as a kid. Don’t remember any scene of course but always knew a lot of still-not-famous actors were in it but seeing Teller, and talking, really shocked me.
He spoke because he was playing someone different. I've heard him speak other times.
They missed Annette Bening in the episode with Viggo Mortensen and Lou Diamond Phillips.
And I see Willie Nelson in the Steve Buscemi scene.
First time I remember seeing Don Johnson was in a TV show guest spot back in '77 on "Big Hawaii." I remembered thinking, this guy is a star - and then he disappeared into drugs and alcohol. Was so glad he pulled out of it to do "Miami Vice" because he really was Sonny Crockett. Same for Liam Neeson - in the movie "The Mission" he barely had any lines, but he stood out and I knew he would become a big star. It is amazing how certain people have that aura. The casting director in this show could see that special aura.
Impressive list. Ed O’Neill was my fave.
What a great actor was Benicio del Toro back in this time 🤣
still is great.. under utilized
This is the first time I've seen Teller speak.
1:52 My favorite cameo: Guy who stares directly in the camera
So many faces I never knew them but I know now. Thanks for this.
A ground breaking cop-show that has never been equalled.
The telephone scene was properly assigned to Liam Neeson!
Nice one
My all time favorite show of the 1980's! My closest connection(s) to the show was I met the guy who was in charge of building the replica Ferrari Daytona's for the show. He relocated his business to Orlando when they were sued by Ferrari for copying their design. He would bring by replica Lambos (using a Fiero as the base car) by the auto parts store I managed. My grandmother met Don Johnson at a Golf tournament in Sarasota in the late 1980's and said Don Johnson was very gracious and nice. I dont think she ever watched Miami Vice! Lol!
same I loved the music
Miami Vice was the hottest thing going back then and I knew a lot of really famous people got their start on the show but I didn't remember it being this many, damn that's a lot!!
Loved the show
Loved the cars
Loved the women
Loved the music
Even dressed like Crockett as a kid...
All these actors had great careers
Chris Rock’s first television role was on Miami Vice in the season 4 episode “Missing Hours.” That should’ve been included since no one back then knew who Chris Rock was.
2:37 Liam Neeson foreshadowing his most iconic role
Didn't look like Schindlers List to me.....
@@MichaelGGarry Oscar Schindler was his best role, not his most iconic role, there's a difference
@@QUITUTINCIPICTURES Where I come from it is most certainly his most iconic role. Taken series? Nowhere near the same league.
This was the best show ever when I was a kid. Every Friday night I was watching every episode 😊
The Ed O’ Neill episode is superb!
2:40
where the "I have a particular set of skills" scene *actually* begins...
Excelente recopilación, excelente serie.
5:51 This bet is GOLD Bill Russell! It’s GOLD!
This is such a great compilation.
Una serie que no era necesariamente destacada en los guiones de los episodios, más bien convencional, si bien su impacto cultural y estética/fotografía marcó una época, y sigue llamando la atención hoy 35 años después. Desde el punto de vista visual, sensorial, la mejor serie de la historia.
Sensorial, ufff, mira a todas esas personas sudando hmmmmmmm, delicioso, eres un bot? esa teoria es cierta?, pude haber copiado y pegado para ver si lo sacaste de algun lado pero Pure Tuber a veces se pone... nah asi dejalo.. lo iba a borrar pero ya escribí la mitad...
My only regret in life is not having lived thru the 80s in Miami
yes I never ever been to florida but now, the city is trying to survive Sea Level rise from Climate change.
My parents took me to Miami for vacation because I was obsessed with the show. It was terrifying. Crime was bad then and it was nothing like the show. Crushed me.
@@PrairieChickenCO yes sad right? US a country of Narcissist! You should have went to Vancouver BC Canada, where gun crime "then" did not exist.
@@PrairieChickenCO I was born there but left when I was 4 to NYC and returned in 87. Compared to the south Bronx, crime didn't seem to bad. That being said, I wouldn't have wanted to live anywhere else.
@@PrairieChickenCO It's the show exactly about the crime, though? Minus the swearing.
When the Liam Neesom clip started, I was hoping to hear on the phone, "I have a very particular set of skills . . . "😆
this was a truly excellant compilation i am old enough to recognise almost all of the actors shown.
Miami Viace was really the first school of many actresses and actors of Hollywood 🎬📽
Best 80s show to date. I recommend watching the film The Take (1990). Excellent film that captures the entire MV 1980s Miami vice cop vibe.
Ed O'Neill was terrific. I just watched that episode again.
Teller was talking back then, now thats miami magic
At 00:29 Bruce Willis in the episode where he's selling stinger missiles, and playing the bad guy that gets shot at the end. That was a great episode. Looked good in his youth with more hair, probably before Moonlighting with Cybil Shepard and the 635CSI BMW. Damn good show, Miami Vice.
That shirt looks awfully like the one George Michael wore in 1984s "Do they know it's Christmas?"
It was just a few months prior to the debut of Moonlighting.
The episode with Ed O'Neil was very good. The Brice Willis one as well.
Awesome show and still one of the best ever
Teller of Penn & Teller is actually a great narrator. I worked with him in the 90's at some point.
Loved this show, but never knew there were so many famous young faces in there.
Love this show. Got my fashion tips from them.lol.😃👍
This was worth all 9minutes!😍
This is awesome.
You forgot Kim Coats, one of the greatest character actors of our time. He played the leader of a biker gang (visions of things to come?), season 3 episode 22 "Viking Bikers from Hell".
It's spelled Coates.
He was in Blackhawk Down.
Omg Kim Coates?
Man that's not a forget. He's not famous. Just a working actor.
dude is a journeyman ...probably has 100 credits before miami vice
Imagine the actors who auditioned but didnt get the role.
thats cooool... Thanks
This is a great video
No sabia! Que bueno! Todo lo que tocaba Yerkovich y compañia se transformaba en oro. No es para menos. La mejor serie para TV d todos los tiempos!
God..they look so young...I miss those days...
Lol Ed O'Neil looks so serious here😆
Amazing!
So John Leguizamo and Ben Stiller broke out in Miami Vice. They must have been quite young in the mid 80s.
i have seen every episode so many times i can listen to it with my eyes closed and watch it in my head.. i recognize all voices... and yea you need to revise this list cause you missed many actors... and to the comments.. this was not these actors first time out... but yet it did boost careers!
only ones to have not move on was the original cast!
it was great to see ware some started there carers love the one with Bruce Wills let's bring it back and have new up coming stars
Gem of a collection!💎
There were also a lot of famous Broadway people as well. You should do one on them.
I'd love to see that!
Wow. Teller nailed it.
Wer alles dabei war, daß ist schon der Hammer, in der besten Serie aller Zeiten 🤘🏼😎👍🏼
