Mini Bio (1)

Sgt. Bob Hoelscher, as a real-life Metro Dade (Miami) cop, handled special clearances needed during the production of Miami Vice (security, street closings and other police liaison). He gave technical advice on gun fighting which added to the gritty realism of the show. Thereafter he appeared in many scenes as the crewcut cop in the background.

Three cheers for Bob!

 

Bob sure did a great job, AND he could act on film like a real person! I'll bet he did more than we know.

 

Bob's da man!

He taught the cast how to shoot correctly, like the proper shooting stance the tactics, how to arrest someone, standard procedure...all that stuff. He did a great job!
