Couldn't wait for Friday nights, so my Dad and I could watch Miami Vice. RIP Papa

Of course Liam Nielsen is talking menacingly on the phone with someone he doesn’t know

I was very fortunate to have enjoyed the 80’s, as a kid. It truly was a great time to be a kid.

Phil Collins was practically a regular on there. I loved his con man character

Ben Stiller! OMG! Practically unrecognizable.

Unforgettable show with its top-notch guest stars. Still unbeatable. Almost 40 years since the series was first shown.

Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, Ving Rhames, Tony Sirico, Chris Elliott, Vanity, Pepe Serna, James Russo and Rosalind Chao are also some of the legendary guest stars from Miami Vice.

Jesus how many stars in one show amazing

Hands down one of the best TV shows - visualized everything about the essence of the 80's...didn't even realize Teller from Penn and Teller did acting back then with speaking lines and all the guest stars.... it's amazing to see them so young and some just starting their careers.

3:24 The only celebrity who scored four touchdowns in one game :)

I'd never heard Teller's voice in all of my 40 years before now...craziness.

I freaking loved this series. When I was in high-school I watched this religiously. And had Elvis lived into the 1980's he would have been on this series as well.

I knew all those people were on Miami Vice. One of the reasons I loved this show so much. I would love to go back to 84.

Miami Vice was the best crime series of all time. Two things really caught my attention at the time: the soundtrack, which was exquisite, and these guest appearances. Many were still little known and I didn't even notice when I watched it for the first time, but the musicians were a big surprise. I remember when I saw Miles Davis and I thought "no way!" A beautiful compilation, but I need to mention a few that are missing and were really special: Iman Lee Iaccoca Lawrence Fishburne Willie Nelson Wesley Snipes Dom King George Takei Greetings from Brazil.

The first few seasons were epic. It defined the 80’s along with MTV.

Did I miss something or did you forget Willie Nelson, G.Gordon Liddy, Roberto Duran, Danny Sullivan, ‘Tex’ Cobb, Richard Belzer just to name a few.

Had a good laugh with Liam Neeson on the phone and he did not know who they are 😂

Miami Vice had it all...story, style, songs and stars!!!!

😂😂😂 This is pure gold ! So many greats actors in Miami Vice in beggining career

Forgot Don King, Bruce McGill, Penn Jillette, Esai Morales, Willie Nelson, Gregory Sierra, G. Gordon Liddy, Brian Dennehy, Randall "Tex" Cobb, Bert Young, William Russ, Clarence Williams III, and Danny Sullivan

Ving Rhames was in 2 episodes playing different roles. Fat Boys, Vanity, Lawrence Fishburne, Garcelle Beauvais, Tony Shalhoub ( monk )

And Teller talks! I heard of Penn and Teller but this was one of the rare times he actually spoke.

Man, I loved this series so much. As a young teen from the North of England it was such a great escape...I even got to wearing pastel colours and slip ons. Lol

The perfect 80s show. Whatever was on TV on the same night was always of secondary importance.

I wasn't allowed to watch it in the 80s as I was still too young but when I watched it in the early 2000s I recognized SO many of the now famous actors and musicians.

I was still a little kid when the show was around but I remember my granddad watching the show endlessly. Tales from The Crypt had a lot of before they were stars celebrities too.

Grier and Kitt are queens

This just confirms my theory that Giancarlo Esposito is in everything. :)

Johnson had been making $30,000-35,000 per episode for his role as James "Sonny" Crockett during Vice's first two seasons. With the show a massive hit after the second season, Johnson felt he deserved a pay rise that better reflected the huge success the series had become (the highest-paid television actor at the time, Tom Selleck, was making $250,000 per episode on Magnum P.I.). Universal offered to increase Johnson's pay to $38,500 an episode, but he turned this figure down, reportedly pushing for a wage of up to $100,000 per episode. When this was declined, he walked off the set and refused to return to the production unless he received a level of pay that he deemed more befitting of the show's popularity. Universal began filming what was originally to be the third-season opener, "El Viejo", around Johnson's absence, but this soon proved to be an impossible task. Within a week, the studio had filed a $20 million breach-of-contract suit against Johnson, and issued the star an ultimatum: return to the series or be replaced. The two actors considered as Johnson's successor were Broadway star Treat Williams (Once Upon A Time In America, Deadwood) and Mark Harmon (NCIS), who at that time had recently left the series St. Elsewhere. In either case, Williams or Harmon would not replace Johnson as Crockett, but rather play a new partner for Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, thereby allowing Johnson to return in the future. Just a few hours after Universal filed their lawsuit, and before a definitive replacement could be named, Johnson relented and returned to work for an undisclosed amount of money, ending the holdout.

Since it's release, it was destined to be success, and it's amazing how much of a legacy Miami Vice truly has, and the amount of influence it's given. When you rewatch Vice, youll always get surprised by how many guest stars they've had, a true gem of a show. Time flies, but this never gets old, what an era.

The show was full of nothing but legends. Wow

55 Celebs (in 10 minutes) who loved Miami Vice as much we do- great clips! As a Miamian, I thought it was bad for our image; later, as a Tour Guide, I realized what a great travelmercial it was. My fav was the Magic City@ Night, playing the soundtrack as we flew over the causeway to SoBe.

Liam Neeson and telephones!😂

It is amazing how culturally popular this show was and I have yet to watch one episode and I grew up in the 80s.

Ok, so pretty much ALL actors in Hollywood participated in different episodes of Miami Vice. It's incredible. Some are unrecognizably young.

I miss this era of tv Friday nights in the winter looking to see who's on the cover of TV guide

Michael Richards in 3 of the greatest shows of all time. Miami Vice, Cheers and Seinfeld.

I'm watching the entire series on Tubi.... The amount of stars that were on that show is incredible. Phil Collins,.and many other musicians.

I knew Miami Vice had some big-name actors on their show, but Frank Stallone?! Wow.

The greatest series ever! I was an extra on that show.

They forgot Iman, Lynn Whitfield and John Taylor of Duran Duran. I’m sure there’s more that were left out.

Pamiętam jak oglądam ten serial jeden z tych które na stałe wpisały się do historii kina i telewizji.....już nikt nigdy nie powtórzy tego sukcesu i klimatu jaki tworzył ten wspaniały serial :)

I really thought Liam was gonna give his “set of skills” speech when he sat down

The plots of this show were frequently silly but the panning shots and musical interludes are gold.

Ben Stiller looked like Eddie Munster.

Anytime James Brown was in front of a camera acting was hilarious. He always seemed like he was waiting for his big moment to say his lines in a school play and I loved every moment of it.

6:00 I remember that episode we saw with my family on vacation in Miami in 1985 at the hotel, Pam Grier took justice for her sister for what John Turturro had done to her, I was little now my parents who are already deceased fills me with a lot of nostalgia like I miss those beautiful years with family 😪

So many famous people on the show and it's hard to believe that it's been 4 decades since the first episode.

This show WAS my friday nights

I was like “hey it’s Lou diamond Phillips “ and the next one was him lol

Thanks for the amazing hard work

This is awesome 😍. Great list.

Great video, great stars, great tv show.

Omg Leonard Cohen was on Miami Vice I have got to find & watch that episode Thank you for making this video

There has yet to be a tv series as cool as that since

This show like a lucky charm for all beginner artists that time

That's part of the fun of watching these old series. I find myself saying, "Hey that's, that's . . . ." Then I have to go on Wiki to get their name. Another series for hidden stars is "Law and Order."

Phil Collins was in an episode and the Power Station (Duran Duran spin off) were playing on stage

Awesome show! Going out Friday nights was delayed until AFTER the episode was over.

There were other major celebrities (both actors and non-actors) who appeared as cameo roles in 'Miami Vice' which included The Fat Boys. Watergate felon G. Gordon Liddy made an impression as the guest role as the sneaky Captain Real Estate. Also seen (not mentioned here) are boxing promoter Don King, boxing legend Roberto Duran, comic Tommy Chong, the Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca, and even the President of NBC-TV (in a cameo as a bartender; I forgot which episode).

WOW I had no idea how many people were on this show This is crazy so many future stars and legends !

3:47 Bill Russell NBA legend ( arguably the GOAT )

Me quedado alucinado de todos los actores que han salido algunos me acordaba otros no,muy buen video muy buen recopilatorio 👏 👏

That is the only time I have heard Teller's voice.

Keye luke, clarence Williams III, Laurence fishburne, dr. Haing S. Ngor and Rita Moreno appeared on the show.

The episode with Ted Nugent was one of my favorites. It was wild! Fiona was in another one, "Little Miss Dangerous," which was super dark!

Michael Mann casting is incredible.

I need to watch this show!!

In the episode with Frank Zappa, you didn't mention that the great fighter, Manos de Piedra, Roberto Duran, was also in it.

So Miami Vice was the Law and Order of the 80's

Liam Neeson brought a certain set of skills to the Tv show.

I actually remember the episode with Sheena Easton. Great tv back then.

Al Bundy before he was married.

All stars are shining, but in my opinion: Julia Roberts: WOW!!

Must admit that there are quite a few that I haven't really heard of, but that's probably because they are on US TV. But it was a great way for many up and coming actors and actresses to show what they were capable of and so that will be why many of them are Hollywood household names now.

Miami Vice was't just a séries. It was a Galaxy: There were Only STARS ❤❤❤

Que ganas de volver a los 80' .Inocente,bello.Que afortunada he sido de haber estado en esos años y disfrutar de todo!!!!

I guess Miami Vice had the crazy guest appearance trend before law and order took over 🤣

Since Glenn Fry did Smuggler’s Blues and “You belong to the city” which were made for the show, let’s put him on the show and he looks like he’s been dabbling still with the nose candy.

Best tv series ever!

Great show when i was teen, looking back at clips now some of the acting was amatures night.

I know you missed a couple. Mykelti Williamson ("Bubba") was one.

Thank you for memory lane back to my favourite show of all time.

Z przyjemnością oglądałem wszystkie odcinki jak leciały w telewizji. Muszę jeszcze raz obejrzeć.

Great research work!

Wait…Miles Davis??? I guess it’s true that everyone wanted to be on this show!

I loved the show... so many folks came on.. the music was great!

le plus beau role d'Arielle Dombasle (au top de sa carrière)

Simply Stated my absolute favorite TV show. Every episode was gripping., This was must TV. in college one of my dorm mates had a large color TV and we would have 20 plus people in his room every Friday night drinking beer and watching Miami VIce.

Sounds like that night Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith made Dakota Johnson.❤ They instantly fell in love back then.

One of my favorite shows of all time ❤

O maior cantor de todos os tempos atuando, Phil Collins ❤

- I didn’t see the following people: - Tom Cruise. - Harrison Ford. - Sharon Stone. - Gladys Knight. - Jim Brown. - Chevy Chase. - Kevin Bacon. - Danny Glover. - Jamie Lee Curtis.

I thought I lost my mind but it really is Bill Russell!

Nice compilation.

Que saudade dessa série!!!!Eu era apaixonada pelo Don Jonson!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

Never even realized all these actors were in this awesome video.

Definitely Miami
