airtommy Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I found this article about the stars of the opening sequence with Jan Hammer's famous Miami Vice theme music in the background. Or maybe the Hammer music is the star and the people are the background? I digress ... http://previously.tv/miami-vice/stars-of-the-miami-vice-opening-credits-where-are-they-now/ The article is satirical, so I assumed all of the info was false. However, I can confirm that at least one part is true. The Jai Alai guy is in fact Elorrio. This is from a 1987 newspaper article: "Although they may not realize it, millions of Americans watch Elorrio play jai-alai every week. And the national TV ''star'' will be displaying his skill at the Orlando Seminole Fronton when it opens its first summer season Wednesday. Why have more Americans seen Elorrio than any other jai-alai player in the world? Because he is seen for a second or two each week on the opening shots of Miami Vice. Elorrio, 34, is shown serving at the Miami Jai-alai Fronton, where he has been a star since he moved there from Tampa in 1980." http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1987-06-09/sports/0130350037_1_jai-alai-seminole-fronton Edited February 12, 2017 by airtommy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summer84 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Fun stories in the first article, made me laugh. I always wondered, who these people actually were in the sequences and where the shots were taken from. Interesting reading about the Jai Alai player!

Vicefan7777 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Funny article. Sounds like something the parody newspaper The Onion would print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyfarragut Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 If the series was made now, we'd have these people starring in realities, Dancing With The Stars and whatnot. Lucky us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
