Mrich209 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Hey Pals, If you had to make a top 5 list of the best guest stars to appear in MV what would your list be ? Edited September 29, 2019 by Mrich209 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie C. Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'll always have a soft spot for Uncle Ted. He hit the Charlie character pretty well. Then Willie Nelson. I happen to like Sheena Easton as Caitlin Davies, but I know (and don't care) I'm in the minority there. Brian Dennehy for good old Reverend Bill Bob Proverb also comes in high. And rounding it out is Fiona. Note I'm going with a majority of non-actor guest stars. Phil 'the shill' gets an honorable mention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE this question! 1. Bruce Willis 2. William Russ 3. Ed O'Neill 4. Bruce McGuill 5. Glen Frey But this just scratches the surface! There are so many more! I'd like the top ten a lot more. Or even, the top 20!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I agree that all the guest stars mentioned so far did a good job but don't forget G. Gordon Liddy as Maynard. Considering his background and personality, it was perfect "type-casting." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 I thought G. Gordon Liddy really nailed it with the character of Maynard. Guy Boyd (Frank Hackman) was awesomely evil, but he kept me guessing until right up to the end in Forgive Us Our Debts Frank Zappa (I'm sure he didn't create the line, but it's an alltime favorite MV line for me: "Three million of my favorite dollars" and his delivery was priceless) Melanie Griffith--there was just something extra-special about Christine Von Marburg's interaction with Sonny Crockett Lynn Whitfield as Odette in Bought and Paid For was absolutely convincing as a frightened, poor Haitian domestic worker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree on what you said about Lynn Whitfield performance. Seeing her lifeless body getting removed from the house is always hard to watch, I choke up every-time, so sad.

Miles was a very strange guy, especially in the 80s. He was just being himself in this episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assasinge Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Phil Collins. Showed the episode to a friend of mine and he absolutely loved it. "Don't tell me he walked!" "...he didn't. He drove." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B. Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yes, Miles was just playing himself and honestly wasn't great in acting, but it wasn't the goal. He just brought his charisma to the show and I guess that was the goal for the production. In an interview (released at the time of his "You're Under Arrest" album, 1985), the man himself said he really found Miami Vice music so inspiring. After all, doesn't the album title sound like a cop movie quote? Btw, maybe my favorite guest star was Willie Nelson, great performance and great story too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
