The TV series Miami Vice ran for five seasons back in the 1980s. It was extremely popular and had quite an influence on music and fashion, if not drug-smuggling itself. The bad guys changed every episode, so there was a parade of guest actors each week. Some were already stars, while others were up-and-coming actors who are much better known today, almost 40 years later. Daniel Holland put together a Twitter list of those stars, with screenshots as evidence. In fact, you didn't even have to be an actor to play a drug dealer on Miami Vice.
Frank Zappa was known for many things but acting wasn’t really one of them. That’s why it was such a surprise to see him on Miami Vice. Here he plays an intimidatingly persistent character hell-bent on recovering a large sum of money. pic.twitter.com/1t41j61VoM
