The Best of Phil Collins | Guest Stars | Miami Vice

[@petehoskins1267]

Phil Collins on Miami Vice, what could be better? Miss the 80’s 👍

[@MYTHGUNDAM]

Later on, he visits Vice city

[@bigmaxy07]

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.

I didn't know Phil Collins was such a good and natural actor.

[@archimedes_blackstar]

i’m pretty sure he went to acting school and was in various plays before joining genesis

[@plasticweapon]

see buster (1988).

[@Jpeterson7]

Buster, about a great train robbery, is really good.

[@schmedrake5429]

He acted on stage as a child

[@righteouslioncomedian1069]

I think he actually started off as an actor.

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

Sleaze personified. Phil Collins nailed this role.

[@rockstar11180]

Having Phil say “I think there’s been some misunderstanding” I see what they did there.

[@retro-dademusic6403]

Phil was my personal favorite guest star that was also a musician 😎

Ted Nugent and Glenn Frye did ok but you're right, Phill nailed it!

[@klaxoncow]

Who was your personal favourite guest star what wasn't also a musician?

[@retro-dademusic6403]

@ Good question. Hard to say, but the first that comes to mind is William Russ’s performance in “Evan”. 😎

[@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.

[@DukeJon1969]

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! 😎✌️

[@kandoo1316]

Only in the 80's you could wear a full suit at a pool party. Loved those days.

[@mafia_gamer_official30973]

Phil is one of my favourite musicians that have played huge role in TV shows and games. Especially in Miami Vice and GTA Vice City Stories. And his best songs in the GTA franchise.

[@BenJabituya]

Miami Vice and GTA Vice City Stories: *DO I SENSE A CONNECTION HERE?!*

[@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!?!

[@Haerinx87]

Phil Collins was great in "Buster"

[@ryanward6386]

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

[@josephb4834]

Phil the Shill, arguably the best episode of the Miami Vice series!

[@rovhalt6650]

Oh 80's how I love you

[@garywhitbourn]

Lets not forget EMO Philips! What a treat to see him here with Phil!

[@janeporter818]

I love Phil Collins. He did an excellent job in this episode. ❤️

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

[@justinfelt748]

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

[@peterfranks6243]

First time the word "Wanker" was used on American television, said by Phil Collins himself

[@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!!!

[@landischorsch]

Funniest decade, funniest city and funniest guy. That combination rules!

[@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

[@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!! 🌴🌴☀️🥥

[@talkaboutwacky]

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

[@rosadalessio9348]

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).

[@macsnafu]

Aha! They played Eric Clapton's "Knock On Wood", a song from his Behind The Sun album, with Phil Collins as producer.

[@rk41gator]

Great catch!

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.

[@lynbruce2770]

love this one with Phil you no what a new season with old and new cast would bring a new generation of fans lots of people love to watch the original series some were born when it came out and some were not so imagine what a new season would do

Surprisingly good actor.

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.

[@nomolosbor]

@@bully3628Bless you for this comment, the Rat Race song was living rent free in my head

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!

[@astraworthington4348]

I love it too. So glamorous and over the top. But people put in the effort and that makes all the difference!

[@Cougar111469]

@@astraworthington4348 My personal all-time favorite bit of 80's fashion is when the ladies all rocked the super tight high-waisted Guess or Levis jeans, plain white Reebok or LA Gear high top sneakers, and their t-shirts always neatly tucked into their jeans.

[@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.

[@MokkaMatti]

That Collins mullet is an undeclared war crime against humanity.

[@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!

[@ahlads]

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.
