Miami Vice was a movie a week in its early years. Movie level production quality from, Miichael Mann, tight scripting, acting. The pan showing the shooter's donuts, coffee, how he was living - great attention to detail you don't see much now.

To help get potential cast members more into character, they were taken on stakeouts by the real Miami Vice unit. While auditioning for the role of Sonny Crockett, Don Johnson came into a script reading for the producers directly from an all night stakeout. He was tired, his hair was a mess, and he hadn't shaved that morning. That look showed the producers what a real life vice cop would look like following a long night of work, and he was hired immediately.

[@markmorris76]

Thats awesome. At least in the early years they really did feature and work with real police officers for authenticity.

Gregory Sierra was an integral part of so many great televisions series from Sanford and Son to Barney Miller all the way to MIAMI VICE and more. I hope that he got all of the credit he deserves and MORE. EVERYTHING that man "touched" turned to "CLASSIC TV" GOLD. He should've had his own series. Whenever I saw him on my television, I knew something cool was about to happen. Thank you sir for all of the special memories.

[@trebor357shot]

Jim Zubena was a real-life competitive shooter and a national championship level shooter with a pistol, rifle, or shotgun. The first time, when they did the scene of his first shootout, it had to be redone because he was faster than the camera people could go. He, later on, was one of the guys who taught Don Johnson how to be so expert at his "gunplay."

[@crazyrabbits]

@Stefano Pavone - Exactly, and I've said this on other videos as well. Once Zito leaves, it's like the show crew gets replaced by an entirely different team and the mood of the entire series changes. Diehl was smart to get out when he did.

No, they hired him, and a couple episodes in, several factors (trouble in his personal affairs, complaints about the weather in Miami) led him to ask to leave the role.
