You overlooked his first starring role as a very young man in the controversial Sci Fi "A Boy and His Dog?" I saw it in the theater. Really worth a watch.
I thought he was a brilliant actor and how sad that people always have to judge you, goodness me let him be his personal life is his own business why always look for the bad in a person so you can grind him into the ground...no matter what he's still my hero and we'll done Don...and f...k all of them
He was a hero for me at least, as a teenager in the 80's. Later I found Bruce Willis in his TV series as private investigator with Cybill Shepherd: Moonlighting.

Don Johnson is the MAN! I grew up watching Miami Vice and was hooked right away! The entire cast is awesome, music in the show rocks your soul, plenty of action and the gun shoot outs with Calderone were brilliant! Jan Hamner is king to bringtje music. His synthesise machines put that special sound thT no other show had or has now! He and Philip Michael Thomas and James Olmos , Jimmy Smitts, and tbe cast made the show a masterpiece! Even today in 2024 ; I jam out to Miami Vice on RUclips. The cars and clothes are a stroke of genius in setting the storyline. It always grips you and leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat! Few if any tv shows today; hRdlu get near anything like Miami Vice or Nash Bridges! The 80 ' s tv show like Starsky and and Hutch, and others are a special breed! Many thanks to Don and all his crew! Love your work! You are the man and we appreciate your efforts!
I have always loved Don Johnson not just as an actor but as a person. I pray for him and his family daily. I don't care what Don has done in the past. None of us are perfect! He will remain my favorite actor, singer, producer, director and writer for the rest of my life!! I will stand by him and his family in everything he does.
Always love Don Johnson❤ From the start of Miami Vice.. That role was made for him.. Happy to see him doing well 😊 Life has its ups and downs.. Don't matter to true fans.. He is still a wonderful handsome man.. 😍 Much love to you Don 💗
Definitely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. Which episode of Miami Vice appealed to you the most?
I like the pilot episode.. And Calerone and Season 4 Mirror Image.. When Explosion cause Sonny to believe he was his undercover persona, murderous drug Lord Sonny Burnett.. Those is my favorite.. Love them all ❤️
Some people just have Charisma and Don Johnson is one of those people... met him many years ago in Miami and it's just a gift when you have that magnetism. Everyone around him felt it and they loved it. Whatever he did... a lot of what people do in life revolves around the company they keep and it can be surprising even for the person in the middle of it...
SO GLAD TO SEE THIS! Don is a great guy to work with, thankfully I see he's doing well now. Celebrities like him take a real beating after they pay their bills and little is left - sounds hard to believe. Wonderful actor a real pro.
Thanks for this! I've had a crush on Don Johnson since Miami Vice premiered in 1984. He'll still be good looking when he's 90. He and PMT were born to play Crockett and Tubbs and together they made TV history ♥️😎
@@Glitz330 It really is mind boggling how one man can steal so many women's hearts and still hold on to them for almost 40 years. Don Johnson and George Clooney have something in common. They really weren't anything special to look at when they were young, but when they hit their 30s, forget about it! And, they still got "it" ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was a teen when Miami Vice came out and fell head over heels and never missed an episode! Boy oh boy that is one fine looking man! Damn so was Philip Michael Thomas!! Don’t make ‘‘em like that anymore.
Don Johnson is and always will be so so cool. Growing up in the 1980’s Miami vice was miles ahead of anything else on TV at the time and made him a style icon that’s stuck with him right up to the present day. And don’t forget Philip Michael Thomas too. But yes Don Johnson is the king of cool. Even at 73 years old.
Did you notice he even stopped smoking cigarettes in the show? He was such an icon and role model, it was decided he shouldn’t smoke as young men were trying to emulate him.
Don is an absolute legend.. I grew up watching him and Philip Michael Thomas play Crockett and Tubbs like no other could.. I look forward to watching Don's future roles, and I wish him all the very best
I absolutely love Don Johnson . He is a dream . 100% honest about himself when being interviewed and an extremely gifted actor who can take on a variety of roles . And do not overlook his musical prowess on the stages of London's West End . Don can reinvent himself successfully and give his best to all he does . He was also a very successful recording artist on both sides of the Atlantic . He is also a devoted family man . Love him to bits xxx He is now actually 75 in December . Ive never seen a 75 year old look that good . Long may you reign Don Johnson xx
@@FactsVerse I first noticed gorgeous Don Johnson in The Long Hot Summer....a role that was made for him and ,thankfully , I managed to purchase a copy. After that it had to be his Rolè as Sonny Crockett. What a performer he is. He and Philip Michael Thomas were both incredible in the parts they played . They were believable. Two young guys given their parts that they acted with reality included . They really did make us believe in everything they did . Don's ability to play the part of Sonny who was often an emotional cop and one who could be a bit of a loose cannon was incredible. I think this has far surprassed the description of a " cop series " . It now has cult status . Thankfully I managed to purchase every episode and I never tire of them . I think my Miami Vice will be going to the grave with me !

His character Sonny Crockett inspired me as a kid to become a police officer. I have been a cop on the south side of Chicago for almost 20 years. Till this day, I still go up to my summer place sometimes alone, and binge on Miami Vice it brings me such comfort. I love Miami Vice!!!!
Crockett inspired me too (So Rico and Castillo did). 25 years on service already. Hell, this september it will be 40 years since the pilot episode. I missed more information on this video, about the early life of Mr. Johnson, AFAIK he had some problems related with cars when he was around 12yo... Heh. That's why he got skilled on motor sports, to the point of being able to win some prizes. When you see Crockett driving his car or his rapid boat, you can tell Don Johnson was an skilled pilot and that he enjoyed it. However, this video is a very nice and complete work.
I am happy to see Don Johnson is doing well! I have been a fan watching Miami Vice and Nash Bridges. Fame and wealth could wreak havoc on anyone without wise investing and savings. Temptation could creep in and is a constant foe. Johnson and Thomas have really entertained us well as well as those in Nash Bridges. Congratulatons Don Johnson on overcoming struggles!
Never mentioned is an excellent neo-noir film starring Don, directed by Dennis Hopper and co-starring Jennifer Connelly at the pinnacle of her beauty and sexy Virginia Madsen as the femme-fatale called "The Hot Spot".
Thank God I'm not the only one who has made mistakes. Don Johnson has entertained many with his talents through the yrs. Much pleasure in watching and enjoying his talents performed. Give us more of Don, he's looking great!
I’ve known Don for many, many years now. I have not seen or talked to him since 2010, but I found him during the time we hung out to be a great stand-up guy on many levels. I did not have in any way a fallout with Don. We met through a very good friend of ours over a business project I had developed and was looking to raise capital. He loved my project, but it was too big a stretch from his film projects. My company involved Medical Devices, which were way outside his wheelhouse. But he loved what I was doing and wanted to help me. Your piece on him was great. By the way, I have first-hand knowledge of the incident in Switzerland, not Germany, and the amount was also inaccurate. But by and large, your piece was excellent and brought back many fond memories. Ted
Very nice guy. My friend teaches film at a University in Beaumont and 2 of his students went to be extras in Tin Cup. During a break in filming, they approached Kevin Costner to ask for some tips and he immediately blew them off. They went over to Don Johnson and he asked them all kinds of questions and had them over to his trailer for a Coke. He gave the m advice and also a couple of phone numbers to call of people in Hollywood in the Industry. Also, my sister had a boyfriend that used to work for the phone company. He was installing a phone line in a movie trailer and Don Johnson walked in and chatted with him for a long time.
You are right. I read that his net worth is about $50 million. Plus, his wife, Kelley, is an heiress. I dont think he'll be headed to the poorhouse anytime soon
I grew up near Clever, Mo being the same age as Don , am highly impressed with his ability talent and success. Although, I don’t know him personally. I have met people who did. I am a fan and will always be interested in Don Johson
Please read my comment my husband is his 4th cousin my husband grew up in Salem, MO. he has come to our family reunions... my husband's gma used to babysit him
To me at 73 Don Johnson is still as handsome as ever. He is a great actor and seems like a really nice person. I wish him and his family well. Still a big fan!
This was my heart throb in the 80's, one of the few men in this world with great sex appeal, a guy you want to have to own! That face! Leaves me speechless!❤
Don is a leader in many ways but he was the first guy that came out with the two or three day unshaven look that’s become so popular. He’s had a full an amazing life and has developed into incredible talent. I hope he stays sober. God bless him.
Don Johnson is an international folk hero. Just seeing his picture or hearing his name brings back so many wonderful memories. Personally I feel sorry for the famous ppl in this world. Fame is a double edged sword which destroys more ppl than it helps.
You forgot "A Boy and His Dog" First time I saw him and fell in love! He is too smart and talented to be down for too long. We all screw up and then we grow up. I look forward to his future projects.
im watching Miami Vice from the beginning right now. i remember it years ago and im loving it all over again ❤. Always loved him great actor and clearly a lovely human being. Glad hes being celebrated on this channel. what a pro, and still looking sooo handsome.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Don Johnson...the men's fashion changed in the 80's because of Don's Miami Vice look. I always liked his acting in different scenarios...especially the Miami Vice role. His personal life is his alone ❤
I was always a fan of Don Johnson, and he is a legend like many other respected actors. Speaking of Miami Vice, season 2 was my most favorite, allot of interesting plots, actors, songs, and artists. Thanks
One of the accolades that you forgot to mention, was his short-lived singing career. He did chart with a song called Heartbeat. I believe that was 1986. He put out 2 albums that I know of for sure. I thought it was a pretty good album. It was a mix of ballads and 80s pop. And for the time it was no worse than anything else out there on the radio. I have that album on vinyl and would love to get him to sign it. He also started another TV series that turned out to be a flop. I believe the name of it was called blood and oil. He played a JR Ewing type of fellow who owns an oil company. it was OK. It lasted one season and then was gone.
Heartbeat was featured is the game Grand Theft Auto - Liberty City Stories (and I remember it on the radio back in the day.) More recently he was excellent in HBO's The Watchmen. This "lost all his money" bs clickbate (that was also done recently with Sly Stallone) is why I just unsubscribed from this channel.
@@lindacollins903 they were supposed to have a five-year progression plan on that show. So basically they rushed through whatever they were going to do in one year. It should’ve lasted longer. I think it’s problem was it started off pretty slow and never really caught on like it should have. I never missed an episode. I really like the girl who on the bar who I believe is supposed to be his ex girlfriend or something. I don’t remember it’s been a while lol.
In Birmingham aA,they even had a Don Johnson look alike contest at a local armory in the Miami Vice Days!Don is a fantastic entertainer and is also quite a good musician as well,an iconic person who is also a very good and kind individual.
No one of us is perfect no way!!! This man chose to live his life the way he wanted he worked and earned plots of money!! Good for him he made mistakes along the way we all do and now he in his older years can still reap the benefits from the good to come from his hard work yay!!!
In the 1980s every guy wanted to be COOL like Don Johnson. I remember guys wearing T-shirts under their jackets just to mimic Don Johnson. So thank you Don Johnson for being that guy which we could mimic to look cool and the chicks digged it !
Don is a great actor and glad he straightened himself out financially and his drug and alcohol abuse which a lot of actors/actresses go through. I will always be a fan of his.
You forgot to mention he was also a singer. Had a couple of albums, I believe. Also, he was married twice to Melanie. And yes, I do have a life despite thinking Don is still one of the best looking, versatile actors who has done well in almost every aspect of his career. He’s golden.
Nice recall, check this out: in the 80's I was a bouncer at the Hollywood Palace on Vine. I'm saying 1985, as live shows were the Temptations, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Divinyls, Till Tuesday, Kid Creole & the Coconuts, Nick Lowe, Todd Rundgren, Teena Marie....and....Don Johnson, I still remember the song, "heartbeat", very good pop song.
Absolutely a fan. Back in the Miami Vice days my husband was an "aspiring" actor who had the good fortune to be cast as a "semi-regular" on Vice. I in turn had the good fortune of being allowed to accompanying my husband on the set. What the public may not be aware of is at that time Don Johnson lived on Star Island, a small EXCLUSIVE island off the coast of South Florida where we lived & where a lot of Vice was filmed...including at DJ's home. I had the wonderful opportunity to be there, meet him, Philip Michael Thomas (Tubbs) in addition to many high profiled guest stars & even his dog. Tho' my husband never did catch his break & get "discovered" we had a bit of a fun "wild ride" back in the 80's. BTW, DJ & everyone else we had the pleasure of meeting was always very gracious, hospitable & just treated us as equals on set. Those years were definitely a fun time.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
He was outstanding in Miami Vice. His tactics and acting were spot on ! He has become one of my favorite actors through the years. I’d like to meet him someday 🚔
He lived a good life that most of us would love to have lived! Miami vice was so hot during the 80s coke wars! Anybody that survived that is lucky to be alive! Hes lucky to have lived to 73, i know alot of people who never made it that far! Hats off to don johnson!!
Glad to hear this story. See, just a man living his life only his is public. Of course that is tough. For all he has been through, he came out well. I bet he is proud of himself he should be.
😅I was head over heels in love with Don Johnson. I had a Miami Vice sweatshirt countless pictures an at my office the wall that my desk was next to was covered with pictures from magazines. I also loved the show Nash Bridges. One of my friends' husband worked for a magazine in the printing dept. he got me copies of two negatives of Don. One in a tuxedo and one in slacks and no shirt on. OMG what a body and what a face.. So I had two 8×10 professional photos of Don. I still think he looks great and I always will.❤
Now at 74 years old Don looks phenomenal and splendid like Philip Michael Thomas, I will never stop hoping that Miami Vice will return with the two of them, it would be a COLOSSAL AUDIENCE RECORD, God willing they come back 💪
I've always liked Don Johnson, and am sorry to hear that he's had some problems, but don't we all? As a corporate pilot, I flew Mr. Johnson, and his family, on several occasions before they split, and always found them to be very courteous passengers. Melanie was especially bubbly and outgoing. Post split, I flew just Don several times, and had the opportunity to chat with him while waiting for other pax. Some may not know that he was a pilot himself, and piloted his own jet AND helicopter. Some celebrities can be total a** wipes, but Mr. Johnson was a great passenger, and very down to earth to chat with. I wish him well.
The very first thing I saw Don Johnson in was a movie that almost everyone either doesn’t know about or just prefers to dismiss it. “A Boy and his Dog”. It was pretty good, even the ESP ability of the dog.
Don Johnson will always be a high grade star that people will wish to be as successful . Glad I I was in for awhile to help with the show . even though I was basic unseen .miami vice was one of the coolest most will played acts that has ever shown . Mike D in Florida .
I'm an Aussie fan and back when it first came out, I bought his album "Heartbeat" on cassette tape that I still regularly listen to... Heartbeat is still one of my most favourite songs... Got to get away, The last sound love makes & Star tonight are also great... Loved Sonny Crockett, but Nash Bridges has been my favourite character that Don played... Every time I hear the word "Bubba" I always think of him lol... Awesome actor with great talent for singing too ❤
Don Johnson is one of the best actors I have ever seen, I like all of his stuff. Blood and Oil was a great series. I was so bummed when it was canceled after one season.
Don is the coolest guy. He suffered up and down from the evil of too much money, just like so many Hollywood celebrities. He still looked good and had a stable financial and family life..
What can you say, but Don is the man. I have a set of Nash bridges and play them from time to time. He is a month younger than me, so it is soom what relatable. He is rich and famous I am not.
From all that I have seen of Mr. Johnson, I like him a lot, and in some ways, I admire him from afar. As an aspiring novelist, I would enjoy writing for him. He has a perfect blend of sophistication about the world without being jaded, cynical, or fatalistic; a clever imagination; and an edgy insouciance that makes him immensely compelling to a broad assortment of the viewing public. As he is older than the leading man generally is, the usual roles for one such as he might look like he is trying to be something he is not; I therefore would write to where he now is, and show him using his experience, wits, cleverness, etc., to facilitate others seeking to escape especially grim difficulty not of their causation and beyond their capacity to resolve..
Yes I have been following The Don since I was a teen while he was in Miami Vice..very handsome,smart, Witty.I was so broke up for his marriage to Melody & their daughter,Dakota. She's a beautiful & talented actress in her own rights.
None of stay young forever. We've all had struggles during our lifetime. He made a lot more money than most of us but chose to live beyond his means. Hard lesson to be learned.
Had dinner in San Fran at his restaurant (2000). Went sight unseen; the design, ambience, food, and entertainment was truly an evening out worth remembering. (Thx D.)
Yes, with the unlined white linen sportscoat and those shallow v-neck, but SLEEVELESS peach or black t-shirts were devastating, with his pistol harness. And COME ON, he invented the "haven't been home for 3days to shave" growth...and no one wears it better (Ari Melber, a close second).
All this business goes with the territory. He's a smart man and did well . I'm glad to see that he's alive, well and thriving. Because at the end of the day, that's all that matters. 🕯🕯🕯
Miami Vice changed television and American culture. That's how powerful it was with the iconic music and introduction of new actors and actresses. The show also had the coolest cast of characters.

I am happy to see Don Johnson is doing well! I have been a fan watching Miami Vice and Nash Bridges. Fame and wealth could wreak havoc on anyone without wise investing and savings. Temptation could creep in and is a constant foe. Johnson and Thomas have really entertained us well as well as those in Nash Bridges. Congratulatons Don Johnson on overcoming struggles!
He was one of my favorite actors who overcame his addition issues and entertained us on TV and the Big Screen.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
Never mentioned is an excellent neo-noir film starring Don, directed by Dennis Hopper and co-starring Jennifer Connelly at the pinnacle of her beauty and sexy Virginia Madsen as the femme-fatale called "The Hot Spot".
Met him at Kansas university in the 90's, very nice guy. He took the time to talk to me even though his security tried to run me off.
We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Don. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
He’s an extremely handsome man for his age.

Thank God I'm not the only one who has made mistakes. Don Johnson has entertained many with his talents through the yrs. Much pleasure in watching and enjoying his talents performed. Give us more of Don, he's looking great!
I’ve known Don for many, many years now. I have not seen or talked to him since 2010, but I found him during the time we hung out to be a great stand-up guy on many levels. I did not have in any way a fallout with Don. We met through a very good friend of ours over a business project I had developed and was looking to raise capital. He loved my project, but it was too big a stretch from his film projects. My company involved Medical Devices, which were way outside his wheelhouse. But he loved what I was doing and wanted to help me. Your piece on him was great. By the way, I have first-hand knowledge of the incident in Switzerland, not Germany, and the amount was also inaccurate. But by and large, your piece was excellent and brought back many fond memories. Ted
Very nice guy. My friend teaches film at a University in Beaumont and 2 of his students went to be extras in Tin Cup. During a break in filming, they approached Kevin Costner to ask for some tips and he immediately blew them off. They went over to Don Johnson and he asked them all kinds of questions and had them over to his trailer for a Coke. He gave the m advice and also a couple of phone numbers to call of people in Hollywood in the Industry. Also, my sister had a boyfriend that used to work for the phone company. He was installing a phone line in a movie trailer and Don Johnson walked in and chatted with him for a long time.
Don's far from broke, he still has plenty of his millions! 👍
You are right. I read that his net worth is about $50 million. Plus, his wife, Kelley, is an heiress. I dont think he'll be headed to the poorhouse anytime soon
They never disclose the entire networth. He is still doing good.
@@Art-ph3tu doing good on earth , how good will he be doin after earth tho bro ?
@@richardbrophy4120 he'll be dead so it won't matter
Ergo, "annual royalties."
I grew up near Clever, Mo being the same age as Don , am highly impressed with his ability talent and success. Although, I don’t know him personally. I have met people who did. I am a fan and will always be interested in Don Johson
Thank you for sharing your life story! We're happy to know that you're a fan. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
Please read my comment my husband is his 4th cousin my husband grew up in Salem, MO. he has come to our family reunions... my husband's gma used to babysit him
THE MOST CHARISMATIC, BAD ASS, HERO TO EVER WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH. ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE.
To me at 73 Don Johnson is still as handsome as ever. He is a great actor and seems like a really nice person. I wish him and his family well. Still a big fan!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Don. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
@@FactsVerse I liked him in various roles but my favourite was Sonny Crockett.
This was my heart throb in the 80's, one of the few men in this world with great sex appeal, a guy you want to have to own! That face! Leaves me speechless!❤
Don't forget those green eyes and dimples ♥️
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Don! We're moved. Which of his roles did you fell in love with?
@@FactsVerse It's not just his looks. He has a presence about him. When he walks into a room and starts to speak, he owns that room.
I love him to this day ❤ 2023
took the words right out of my mouth...
Don Johnson is simply awesome!
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great week!
I'm a life-long fan! Salute to Don Johnson from a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer (we're just about the same age).
We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Don. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
I've been a fan through all the good and bad. He's a very talented man with a easy to care about personality.
A man's man is Mr Don Johnson !!!! ✊✊🇺🇲
He’s still handsome!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What is your most memorable role of Don?
Don is a leader in many ways but he was the first guy that came out with the two or three day unshaven look that’s become so popular. He’s had a full an amazing life and has developed into incredible talent. I hope he stays sober. God bless him.
He did have that stubble look which became popular. The best stubble look I've seen was on George Michael.
Don Johnson is an international folk hero. Just seeing his picture or hearing his name brings back so many wonderful memories.
Personally I feel sorry for the famous ppl in this world.
Fame is a double edged sword which destroys more ppl than it helps.
You forgot "A Boy and His Dog" First time I saw him and fell in love! He is too smart and talented to be down for too long. We all screw up and then we grow up. I look forward to his future projects.
im watching Miami Vice from the beginning right now. i remember it years ago and im loving it all over again ❤. Always loved him great actor and clearly a lovely human being. Glad hes being celebrated on this channel. what a pro, and still looking sooo handsome.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Being close to his age, all I remember of him ,is that he was a beautiful beautiful man ...
My b-day is also on Dec 15 and I loved Miami Vice...❤... kudos to Don and Philip...👍🔥😍
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see?
He was born under a lucky star. Looks, natural talents have allowed him to get everything he's got. Plenty. Wish him the best
Don Johnson is worth redeeming! You ladies all know that nobody in our Era made it rain panties like he did.
He's a King! Protect him like you should.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
We’d have to go through Kelley, and I think they’re doing fine. She’ll protect him.
Well, he certainly managed to hold on to his looks, didn’t he?
We agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great weekend!
Don Johnson is a legend!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😎😎😎🏙️🌆💯💯💯💯💯
Watching Nash Bridges on the heroes and icons channel . Five one hour episodes in a row on Monday afternoons starts my week off right !
Don Johnson...the men's fashion changed in the 80's because of Don's Miami Vice look. I always liked his acting in different scenarios...especially the Miami Vice role. His personal life is his alone ❤
So true! Which episode of Miami Vice appealed to you the most?
Don Johnson was my ex boyfriend from the 80s. Lol. I always loved him. His private life is his own. God bless him.
He’s a wonderful actor…nobody could play in The Long Hot Summer like he did…it was awesome ❤
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
I love this guy.
Glad to know that you love Don. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
@@FactsVerse Definitely Miami Vice - I'm watching an old rerun right now.
I was always a fan of Don Johnson, and he is a legend like many other respected actors. Speaking of Miami Vice, season 2 was my most favorite, allot of interesting plots, actors, songs, and artists. Thanks
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Don. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse Detective Sonny Crocket, wearing that white blazer, driving around in his fiscal Ferrari.

He’s great 👍🏻, I have always enjoyed his work.
Us too! What is your most memorable role of Don Johnson?
One of the accolades that you forgot to mention, was his short-lived singing career. He did chart with a song called Heartbeat. I believe that was 1986. He put out 2 albums that I know of for sure. I thought it was a pretty good album. It was a mix of ballads and 80s pop. And for the time it was no worse than anything else out there on the radio. I have that album on vinyl and would love to get him to sign it. He also started another TV series that turned out to be a flop. I believe the name of it was called blood and oil. He played a JR Ewing type of fellow who owns an oil company. it was OK. It lasted one season and then was gone.
Blood and Oil was good, but only lasted one season 😎
Heartbeat was featured is the game Grand Theft Auto - Liberty City Stories (and I remember it on the radio back in the day.) More recently he was excellent in HBO's The Watchmen. This "lost all his money" bs clickbate (that was also done recently with Sly Stallone) is why I just unsubscribed from this channel.
@@lindacollins903 they were supposed to have a five-year progression plan on that show. So basically they rushed through whatever they were going to do in one year. It should’ve lasted longer. I think it’s problem was it started off pretty slow and never really caught on like it should have. I never missed an episode. I really like the girl who on the bar who I believe is supposed to be his ex girlfriend or something. I don’t remember it’s been a while lol.
With Barbra Streisand, no less during her Superman era.
I will always be a Don Johnson's fan
Legends will always come out on Top!
In Birmingham aA,they even had a Don Johnson look alike contest at a local armory in the Miami Vice Days!Don is a fantastic entertainer and is also quite a good musician as well,an iconic person who is also a very good and kind individual.
Always a fan of Don Johnson.
We're a fan of Don too. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
No one of us is perfect no way!!! This man chose to live his life the way he wanted he worked and earned plots of money!! Good for him he made mistakes along the way we all do and now he in his older years can still reap the benefits from the good to come from his hard work yay!!!
Like many others I had a HUGE crush on him ❤
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which of Don's roles appealed to you the most?
In the 1980s every guy wanted to be COOL like Don Johnson. I remember guys wearing T-shirts under their jackets just to mimic Don Johnson.
So thank you Don Johnson for being that guy which we could mimic to look cool and the chicks digged it !
Actually, Steve McQueen started that look.
Don is a great actor and glad he straightened himself out financially and his drug and alcohol abuse which a lot of actors/actresses go through. I will always be a fan of his.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. In your opinion, what is his finest film?
@@FactsVerse I liked all his films but my favorite is when he played Sonny Crocket on Miami Vice on TV.
I am a big fan of Don Johnson. He has had his problems but he has overcome them & seems to have a good marriage & a active career.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
You forgot to mention he was also a singer. Had a couple of albums, I believe. Also, he was married twice to Melanie. And yes, I do have a life despite thinking Don is still one of the best looking, versatile actors who has done well in almost every aspect of his career. He’s golden.
Thank you so much for the additional info about Don. We love him.
Nice recall, check this out: in the 80's I was a bouncer at the Hollywood Palace on Vine. I'm saying 1985, as live shows were the Temptations, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Divinyls, Till Tuesday, Kid Creole & the Coconuts, Nick Lowe, Todd Rundgren, Teena Marie....and....Don Johnson, I still remember the song, "heartbeat", very good pop song.
Absolutely a fan. Back in the Miami Vice days my husband was an "aspiring" actor who had the good fortune to be cast as a "semi-regular" on Vice. I in turn had the good fortune of being allowed to accompanying my husband on the set. What the public may not be aware of is at that time Don Johnson lived on Star Island, a small EXCLUSIVE island off the coast of South Florida where we lived & where a lot of Vice was filmed...including at DJ's home. I had the wonderful opportunity to be there, meet him, Philip Michael Thomas (Tubbs) in addition to many high profiled guest stars & even his dog. Tho' my husband never did catch his break & get "discovered" we had a bit of a fun "wild ride" back in the 80's. BTW, DJ & everyone else we had the pleasure of meeting was always very gracious, hospitable & just treated us as equals on set. Those years were definitely a fun time.
He definitely won the good looks lottery.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
He was outstanding in Miami Vice. His tactics and acting were spot on ! He has become one of my favorite actors through the years. I’d like to meet him someday 🚔
He lived a good life that most of us would love to have lived! Miami vice was so hot during the 80s coke wars! Anybody that survived that is lucky to be alive! Hes lucky to have lived to 73, i know alot of people who never made it that far! Hats off to don johnson!!
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
I worked in Miami in 83 and knew him and the cast.Seemed like good people.
Glad to hear this story. See, just a man living his life only his is public. Of course that is tough. For all he has been through, he came out well. I bet he is proud of himself he should be.

😅I was head over heels in love with Don Johnson. I had a Miami Vice sweatshirt countless pictures an at my office the wall that my desk was next to was covered with pictures from magazines. I also loved the show Nash Bridges. One of my friends' husband worked for a magazine in the printing dept. he got me copies of two negatives of Don. One in a tuxedo and one in slacks and no shirt on. OMG what a body and what a face.. So I had two 8×10 professional photos of Don. I still think he looks great and I always will.❤
Love Don Johnson! He will always be the only Sonny Crocket ❤ Still watch Miami Vice reruns! 😍
Me too! On Tubi!
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great weekend!
Now at 74 years old Don looks phenomenal and splendid like Philip Michael Thomas, I will never stop hoping that Miami Vice will return with the two of them, it would be a COLOSSAL AUDIENCE RECORD, God willing they come back 💪

I've always liked Don Johnson, and am sorry to hear that he's had some problems, but don't we all? As a corporate pilot, I flew Mr. Johnson, and his family, on several occasions before they split, and always found them to be very courteous passengers. Melanie was especially bubbly and outgoing. Post split, I flew just Don several times, and had the opportunity to chat with him while waiting for other pax. Some may not know that he was a pilot himself, and piloted his own jet AND helicopter. Some celebrities can be total a** wipes, but Mr. Johnson was a great passenger, and very down to earth to chat with. I wish him well.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don. We're moved. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
I ALWAYS LOVED DON JOHNSON…HE WAS A VERY HANDSOME MAN AND A TREMENDOUS ACTOR… I HOPE HE IS WELL…
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Don. We love him too ♥
The very first thing I saw Don Johnson in was a movie that almost everyone either doesn’t know about or just prefers to dismiss it. “A Boy and his Dog”. It was pretty good, even the ESP ability of the dog.
I love that movie.
Don Johnson will always be a high grade star that people will wish to be as successful . Glad I I was in for awhile to help with the show . even though I was basic unseen .miami vice was one of the coolest most will played acts that has ever shown . Mike D in Florida .
I'm an Aussie fan and back when it first came out, I bought his album "Heartbeat" on cassette tape that I still regularly listen to... Heartbeat is still one of my most favourite songs... Got to get away, The last sound love makes & Star tonight are also great...
Loved Sonny Crockett, but Nash Bridges has been my favourite character that Don played...
Every time I hear the word "Bubba" I always think of him lol... Awesome actor with great talent for singing too ❤
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! How are things in Australia? Be safe and have a great weekend ❣
@@FactsVerse Thank you 💕
Things are well here.
Little on the cool side as it's our Winter time...
Hope y'all had a bonza of a weekend too 👍
Don Johnson is one of the best actors I have ever seen, I like all of his stuff. Blood and Oil was a great series. I was so bummed when it was canceled after one season.
He is awesome,I am from eighty's,we dressed like him,similar hair style,cars we loved him
Good to hear Don is doing well ! Long time fan
Don is the coolest guy. He suffered up and down from the evil of too much money, just like so many Hollywood celebrities. He still looked good and had a stable financial and family life..
Great comedic role in Django which showcased his versatility as an actor. He'll always be Detective Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice to me. 😊
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great weekend!
What can you say, but Don is the man. I have a set of Nash bridges and play them from time to time. He is a month younger than me, so it is soom what relatable. He is rich and famous I am not.
From all that I have seen of Mr. Johnson, I like him a lot, and in some ways, I admire him from afar.
As an aspiring novelist, I would enjoy writing for him. He has a perfect blend of sophistication about the world without being jaded, cynical, or fatalistic; a clever imagination; and an edgy insouciance that makes him immensely compelling to a broad assortment of the viewing public.
As he is older than the leading man generally is, the usual roles for one such as he might look like he is trying to be something he is not; I therefore would write to where he now is, and show him using his experience, wits, cleverness, etc., to facilitate others seeking to escape especially grim difficulty not of their causation and beyond their capacity to resolve..
Big fan. Always loved him and his album Heartbeat is amazing! He is still great in his 70s.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don. We love him.
I’ve watched Don for years. He’s a great actor♥️♥️
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
Yes I have been following The Don since I was a teen while he was in Miami Vice..very handsome,smart,
Witty.I was so broke up for his marriage to Melody & their daughter,Dakota.
She's a beautiful & talented actress in her own rights.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don and Dakota! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great weekend ♥
My favourite of all tv shows …Don so cool …and Phillip so debonair…..the show would have never worked without the two together……
None of stay young forever. We've all had struggles during our lifetime. He made a lot more money than most of us but chose to live beyond his means. Hard lesson to be learned.
Alway loved Don Johnson…
Glad to know that you're a fan of Don. Which of his roles appealed to you the most?
Had dinner in San Fran at his restaurant (2000). Went sight unseen; the design, ambience, food, and entertainment was truly an evening out worth remembering. (Thx D.)
No actor had more influence on men’s fashion than he did.
Yes, with the unlined white linen sportscoat and those shallow v-neck, but SLEEVELESS peach or black t-shirts were devastating, with his pistol harness.
And COME ON, he invented the "haven't been home for 3days to shave" growth...and no one wears it better (Ari Melber, a close second).
Michael Mann, said he didn't want "Sonny" to ever wear Earth tone's.
For the better, I might add. Classy, Cool, comfortable. Guys today could take lessons... Or, stay like they are, jeans and sweats....
All this business goes with the territory.
He's a smart man and did well . I'm glad to see that he's alive, well and thriving.
Because at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Miami Vice changed television and American culture. That's how powerful it was with the iconic music and introduction of new actors and actresses. The show also had the coolest cast of characters.
Don is a very good actor. But the show was a big hit because of the writing also.& the supporting cast as well.
