famous guest stars, season 3
This week on Miami Vice: Tubbs is trying to make a deal with a bigwig crack dealer named Gallego when Gallego gets ripped off for cash and a suitcase that he almost gave up his life to protect... questions? What's in the suitcase? And why were the robbers wearing prosthetics and stage makeup? This leads back to a once reformed ex-con who runs a theatre for ex-cons called Mi Vida Loca (no relation to the movie) as a way to give them a safe form of expression. Crockett knows the talent Mikey has and can't understand why he gave up so much and burned so many bridges along the way, and now he's at risk of throwing his whole life away, and of those that love him, for Gallego's suitcase. Guest starring: Benecio Del Toro!

S03 E20: By Hooker By Crook
September 16th, 2023 | Season 3 | 1 hr 9 mins
famous guest stars, season 3
This week on Miami Vice: Guest stars galore! Don Johnson directs his ex-wife - and at this time, future ex-wife again and mother of his child in this episode, as Melanie Griffith plays a secretive businesswoman who has a role to play in the death of a dirty businessman and a beautiful escort (Vanity) and who has a long-standing relationship with an even bigger businessman, played by George Takei. Crockett once again falls for someone out of his world, but this time, it's a lot more surprising when connections are made (and exposed in a live television interview). Was Christine von Marburg the original SHE-E-O/Girlboss? Or the inspiration for Heidi Fleiss? Maybe both?
Other topics include: the first-world problem of jet lag, roulette wheels, messy breakups and interestingly timed pregnancies and more! -

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs assist rookie cops (Guest Stars: Lou Diamond Phillips and Viggo Mortensen) to execute a search warrant, which turns out to be a trap and it's becoming a pattern in South Florida.

The surviving rookie cop, Bobby, is following Tubbs closely after the botched search warrant that killed his partner as Tubbs seems to alienate the rest of the Vice team that tries to help, like Switek and Crockett. Lou Diamond Phillips and Edward James Olmos on screen before they were getting into it over math in HIghlnd Park.

season 3
This week on Miami Vice: Crockett brings in a former cop and surveillance whiz named Duddy to assist in an investigation of a mysterious and rightfully paranoid dealer, as they try and figure out what exactly he's dealing. Add the dealer's extreme paranoid and vengeance to the mix and you've got a lot of bodies in the way, will Duddy - who tries to play both sides - be next? Other questions include: What would Duddy do and feel about the age we live in now? How ahead of the times was Miami Vice on issues of personal surveillance and technology working against us? Why I shouldn't have coffee and my adventure in American Credit Scores!

famous guest stars, season 3
This week on Miami Vice: Crockett's one-scene girlfriend from last week Theresa (Helena Bonham Carter) is hiding a drug habit from him that ends up with a decision to pass information along that destroys the evidence against a drug kingpin Wyatt (Brad Dourit, the voice of Chucky) and kills multiple people in the process. Crockett does all he can to help her, but she is facing the prospect of losing her medical license as a result of the arrest and treatment. Crockett has to do what's best for her while also clearing his name and reputation with Internal Affairs. Other topics include: it's time to be European and I'm taking August off (see video link below for inspiration lol), why Helena Bonham Carter sounds too posh to make this believable, but not too posh to wreck multiple homes in her real life, how doing what's best for someone else hurts you and more!
