Fan Fare

In 1984, Ricardo Tubbs, of the hit NBC television series Miami Vice, became one of the coolest black cops on the tube. Philip Michael Thomas stole the hearts of countless women while busting shots at the bad guys for the fellas. Shortly after Miami Vice, Thomas went on to record an R&B album called Living the Book of My Life and starred in a European television series, Extra Large.

Nowadays, you can still catch Thomas on TV on the Philip Michael Thomas Psychic Network. He's also starring in a series for syndication, We Are Angels, which is currently shooting in Costa Rica. And you can expect to see him in two feature films this year. But wait, there's more! Thomas is negotiating another deal for an R&B record, as well as children's songs. So while the days of pastel blazers, T-shirts, cool shades, and white shoes (with no socks) are over, Thomas's career is definitely not.
