I doubt there's a person alive who doesn't remember the groundbreaking TV show Miami Vice.
For five seasons, Sonny Crockett (Golden Globe winner Don Johnson) and Rico Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) ruled the airwaves with cars, clothes, music, and attitudes cooler than cool.
I was -- and still am -- a big fan of the show.
So I am pleased to announce that I have just been granted permission to create the official Philip Michael Thomas web site!
I kid you not. Mr. Thomas' manager called me last night. She told me he is thrilled with my request to create his official web site. She also told he'll be calling me soon to chat about it. There may even be an in-person meeting in the offing.
I can't tell you how excited I am about this. Few shows have ever been as cool as Miami Vice. And few actors were ever more suave than Philip Michael Thomas. He and Don Johnson ate up the screen during their tenure as Miami's hippest vice cops. I've been a fan of Mr. Thomas' for over 20 years.
I don't really know what else to say other than, "Wow." This is an opportunity of a lifetime. I'm assuming it'll take a couple of months to get his site up and running. But I'll be sure to let everyone know when it's done.
Philip Michael Thomas. Rico Tubbs himself. Man. Somebody pinch me.
