The mother of "Hey that guy" Miami Vice Style

Since this week is the Week of Vice, I was figuring we could look at all the younger actors that perhaps started or had a small role in an episode. Thanks to http://www.imdb.com/ for any help they have provided in this post.

First of all, Jimmy Smits, aka Eddie Rivera, Crockets first partner is quickly forgotten in this show.

John Diehl – played Det. Zito on the show. He has had many roles throughout TV and films.

Bill Smitrovich – you know Corky’s dad from “Life Goes On”

Mykelti Williamson – went on to do many films and was part of the crew in “Heat”

Al Bundy himself was in the show Ed O’Neil

Belinda Montgomery – Played Crocket’s ex wife and also played Mrs. H on Doogie Howser, MD

Dennis Farina – the beloved Joe Fontana now on Law & Order played a mob boss

Dan Hedaya – one of Carla’s husbands on Cheers, and he was the dad from “Clueless”

Bruce Willis had a role in an episode…it probably leapt his to “Moonlighting,” which might have been the last show where he had his real hair.

Michael Madsen and Terry O’Quinn were in the same episode. Locke and Mr. Blonde…you got to love that!

Evan Handler from the West Wing and several other shows had a spot.

Not to mention Glenn Fry and Pam Grier (aka Jackie Brown) were also guests of the show.

Just a couple of more…Ving Rhames, Esai Morales (Richies’ older brother in LaBamba), and finally Tom Mardirosian (aka Busmalis in OZ)

Now I have only seen Season 1 and who knows, I might have the courage to rent Season 2 sometime down the road but if you don’t love the boat rides and the late night car rides. At least watch it for the other people in the show, the show that is full of “hey I know where that person is from”

Sorry for the lack of pictures but blogger was being a pain...Enjoy!

There are way, way to many cameos to list for this show.... If you had a good Agent in the '80s you were on this show.

names like Micheal Chiklis, Terri Hatcher and FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield - Miguel Ferrer( that one's for Goose)

While seemingly all but me have taken their shots at the man. Lets give some props to the Dude for attempting to make a Ricky Williams style comeback, after being MIA from the Lodge on a holistic pot smoking trip through India for almost 2 months.

His posting and comments this week have been solid and he is making the effort.

He could have packed his bags ala Lazlo and Gregg but like a true Lodge Captain he stands strong.

Kudos for the effort my friend.

First of all, who's named Dude a Captain? Has Jimbo? Because being a Captain is earned based on productivity and what you have earned. Dude has earned just enough to get by... not the sign of a Captain.

Second, Ricky Williams broke his arm and now is out in his 3rd week of his alledged "comeback". Dude can't keep it up, the Ricky comparison is a good one, because Dude is going to either crash and fall off the post/comment wagon OR break a limb... there's no inbetween.

First off Joe... The Lodge doesn't respect or recognize the Serie A. So please change your icon.. if you dont believe me you can look up Lodge code 452.365 - the Flop Rule...

Second... I think we can all agree the founding memebers of the Lodge will always be Cap'os no matter how much they contribute. You should consider your self lucky to be one since we almost had you taken out Big Pu##Y style...

third... You are an A$$

Ya, I knew all of that. I just wanted to bust Dude's balls. Piss off, Train.

Here's to hoping Ruud, Cannavaro & Emerson will be joining Real on their August 9th friendly at Seahawks Stadium.

I've heard that Real is good about making sure all there stars get playing time when they go overseas.
