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.
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.
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.
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!
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".
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.
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".
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.
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)
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.
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.
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
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 !!
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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".
Miami Vice, Literally a series that was ahead of it's time. What an era. The nostalgia is real man. Been re-watching the entire series these past months, and what a time. Don't think any show can come close too it these days. Sad that the era, is long past. Iconic storyline, themes, instrumentals, characters and so much more. Truly, legendary. Amazing to see how much of an impact it had, and all these characters.
dennis farina when it comes to character he played ,phil collins in acting and liam neeson and bruce willis in total career. they had a very good casting... but its no big surprise,all after great success first season were trying to play in miami vice long before the sopranos created such a hype!
My favorite TV show of all time! A friend of mine, Tammy Leppert (RIP), and I were very lucky to have auditioned for this show in it's early preproduction days! Unfortunately, neither one of us were selected, but she did appear in a few movies, most notably, "Scarface".
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 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.
After seeing how young Ben Stiller looked back then, I'm pretty sure that he also appeared in an episode of Macgyver. Unfortunately, his small role is not mentioned in the credits of the episode.
The Teller clip also gad Dander Berkeley. I don't know if was already famous then, but he kinda is now. Most recently, Xander Berkley was in Walking Dead. He played Gregory, the governor of Hilltop who was hanged by Maggie. Berkkey also played the cop in the Mentalist who was ultimately revealed to be Red John.
Tell us: who is your favourite?
Another cop, John McClane (Bruce Willis).
Bruce Willis! I love that episode “No Exit.”

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.

@@joannekelly5132She was a powerhouse casting director. One look at her credentials and you’ll know what I mean.

@qbasic16 Thanks teacher!!!😂👌👍
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
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.
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.
Liam Neeson playing the same role since the 80's.
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!

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.

Haha 😂 So cool!
The last thing I expected was to hear Teller speak. Thank you for this upload.
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
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!
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.
Love Ed O'Neill, such a funny guy from that hilarious sitcom Marriage with children.
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.
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 ..

2 more notables thief and manhunter, intense dramas
Very highly rated director and producer actually
he's not remotely under rated. hes big time
Was a great stepping stone for many actors. Vice had great acting in almost every episode.
When the Liam Neesom clip started, I was hoping to hear on the phone, "I have a very particular set of skills . . . "😆
Imagine the memories some of these people must have, to be famous in the 80's was living the dream.
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.

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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!!
I’ve known Teller my whole 37 years and this was the first time I’ve ever heard him speak
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.
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.
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.
The telephone scene was properly assigned to Liam Neeson!

Phil Collins and Willy Nelson were already famoous.

He already has a very specific set of skills 😃
I have news for ya. Most people, coming up at the time, were on this show. Every decade has a show like this.
So John Leguizamo and Ben Stiller broke out in Miami Vice. They must have been quite young in the mid 80s.
