Wow! I wonder if there is a follow up to this story.Did he go to prison and if so how long did he get?If he got and served the whole 20 years, he would have been released a few years ago!

He must have recieved a slap on the wrist, as he's made movies for years now. .....But he DID get into a HEAP of trouble for this. We also know he was 34 when he filmed MIAMI VICE!

Did anyone realize that several actors who mostly play gangsters had become gangsters themselves? Maybe, they identify too much with the roles they have played.

Oddly, it seems to be true. But remember, Don Johnson was into cocaine and stuff before he did VICE. He's the good guy!
