Phil was on a streak at this point in his career. He couldn't put a foot wrong and could literally do anything.

[@vegetasolo1221]

Philip Michael Thomas invented the term EGOT to describe the achievement (that, to date, Rita Moreno and 15 others have achieved) of winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony for acting. Thomas planned to accomplish this task himself within five years, but ultimately he never received a nomination for any of the awards. However, the term he coined lives on, and was even used as a plot device in several episodes of the comedy 30 Rock.

[@paultucker1272]

Vice at its best! One of my favourite episodes. It was a brilliant move to have Phil Collins play a character role when his music had already had such a massive impact on Season 1. Who knew he could act!?!

[@Paul-sl9zm]

Phil Collins was great in "Buster"

[@ryanward6386]

Well, he was the Artful Dodger in Oliver on the West End as a kid.

[@surfshack2]

I enjoyed this episode very much. Love the '80's. Phil Collins was one of the most popular celebrities of the day back then. So cool!! 🌴🌴☀️🥥

Phil Collins on Miami Vice. Peak 80's right here.

[@edkeaton]

This was one of my favorite "MV" episodes! Phil Collins did such an amazing job here! His music is awesome as well! 😎✌️

[@o.portista]

Such an iconic episode, and literally one of my favorite shows, with my favorite artist. Amazing to see how young Phil was, and how time flies. Such a talented guy. Legends like Phil are once in a lifetime, and this collaboration was legendary, and so glad it happend. I'll never forget it. Such a theme.

[@luciotavares1978]

Phil Collins and Kyra Sedgwick in the same episode, cool!

[@AGC828]

MV was so leading edge in so many ways. Chase scenes with supercars that looked like music videos. Having major pop and rock stars act. Models. Not done today. NO TV show has made such an impact on TV and one city (Miami).

[@roadtosanity6369]

Yes, 80's Forever!!!

[@justinfelt748]

"Phil the Shill" is my favorite song when I went to the park and looking at the sun. It's beautiful!😊💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙☀👍

[@nkotbsouth]

"Rat Race" is one of my all-time fave episodes. 🤣

[@jasonups5386]

Phil The Shill one of my favorites and of course “In the Air Tonight”

[@vegetasolo1221]

The soundtrack LP went to #1 and stayed there for 12 weeks, making it the most successful TV soundtrack of all time. Jan Hammer received a congratulatory phone call from Henry Mancini, whose music from "Peter Gunn (1958)" was the previous record holder (it was #1 for 10 weeks in 1959).

Crockett and Tubbs: "jeez, your voice is familiar. I've heard it calling in the air at night".

[@sbgoldma]

Phil collins was brilliant in this one !!!👍👍

[@C_Holloway]

One of my favorite Switek/Zito episodes! Those two guys were the comic relief of the show. Sadly, Zito's death later on in the series was the catalyst for Switek's downward spiral. You could tell that when Zito was killed, a huge part of Switek died, too. 😔😢

[@missywink1504]

I remember the episode where he died and I bawled my eyes out.

[@talkaboutwacky]

Phil just oozes charisma. I had no idea he was an actor and a good one at that

Fashion and hair of the 1970s and 80s were soooo cheesy. But, being a child of the 80s, I prefer 1980s cheese! Bring back the Phil Collins mullet!

Surprisingly good actor.

[@felipegolf1]

Sin duda volvieran a dar todas sus temporadas nuevamente sería un exitaso ,tremenda serie tendría un raiting por las nubes,serie de culto total

[@fever_spike]

Surprised they didn’t add in the epic nod to Elvis at the end when Stan and Lar are at Stan’s apartment-the television is on, and Phil appears on one of the channels posing as a faith healer attempting to convince viewers to send in money. In true Elvis fashion, Stan pulls out his revolver, and shoots the television screen.

[@maxheadroom8857]

That was the funniest scene in the episode, right at the end.

[@Goland454]

The man who gave us Tarzan also hung with Don Johnson. Wonder if Don ever asked Phil to collab in music. 😂

I wonder if Phil Collins will ever release a full version of Rat Race

[@bully3628]

The Rat Race song is actually a song of his called “The Man With The Horn” with the lyrics changed. It was never on an album but was a B side for two singles off his No Jacket Required album.

[@paolopagano9774]

Phil Collins Is the best

[@TwoWheelWarrior]

I fast fowarded to the Lambo Jalpa scene.

[@asifkhan4822]

As his music was used very often in the first season, it only made sense to have Phil Collins in the 2nd Season episode "Rat Race." Collins plays the slimy gameshow host Phil to perfection. It's a shame he didn't get a chance to reappear again like some of the other stars that appeared on Vice.🍉🍉💥💥

[@cliffordgill9052]

I don't think he even required wardrobe, and that hair! The British actor who played in who framed Roger rabbit could have pulled this character off just as well!

He was probably too busy. He even said himself he over exposed himself back then.

Brooke shields would’ve also been a great classic example on the TV show if she decided to go back acting her career before 1987, but she wanted to finish her studies at Princeton university and therefore she narrowed her choices debating weather she will act again or not.
