Castillo's mustache in "Duty and Honor"

[Guest myonlyvice]

It appeared that EJO had to shave his mustache for the teaser in "Duty and Honor". Afterwards did he have to wear a fake mustache for a while?

My guess is EJO is so manly that his mustache grows when he tells it to.

Brilliant!

Brilliant!

EJO and Tom Selleck are the only members of this elite and honored club! :)Come to think of it, how many people here thought EJO's mustache at the end of Freefall looked fake?

Do you think his mustache was fake throughout the series? I never considered this.

If it was' date=' Mann and Co. must have spent as much on fake facial hair as they did on C&T's wardrobe, because it sure looked real to me.Even an EJO comedy impersonation needs a mustache!

Committed stash wearers won't usually shave it off...looks like heavy makeup if you look really close, lip looks different than in "Stand and Deliver.":)

Castillo's mustache is one bad piece of bush. I don't see how they could possibly conceal that thing without it looking absolutely comical. I was looking pretty closely before I started this thread but I'll go look again. Thanks for responding; seems like the majority of my threads don't strike much of a chord.

Just rewatched that scene and, if there's a concealed mustache above Castillo's lip, the makeup person deserved an Emmy. You could even see the two vertical lines that naturally run from the base of the nose to the upper lip. Wish I knew the technical name for those lines. Any anatomy whizzes want to step up?

I checked the principal filming dates in the glossary and compared them to those of episodes before and after and they were all in chronological order. I guess it's possible if the teaser was filmed at a different time such a shoot might not qualify as "principal filming" and therefore the dates listed would not apply. What we really need is somebody who was associated with season three's production to comment.

"Stand & Deliver" was released in March of 1988 so filming would be in 1987, around Vice's 3rd season. It's possible it was shaved for the movie and a fake was needed 'til the real thing grew back.Just a guess.

Unlike Tubbs' beard in Borrasca, which was clearly taped on his face only a short 5 minutes before the cameras rolled.

I always aim to create threads of 5 star quality but it's hard to do, as it should be. I think this is only my third one ever. I hope we never get to the point where we suffer from "5 star inflation" here. Let's keep 'em worthy and rare. Out of curiosity, how does one earn the honor of getting to rate threads?

[Guest myonlyvice]

I looked it up: the ridge between the nose and upper lip is called the "philtrum" The skin around the philtrum is called the "paraphiltrum". If we were making a Miami Vice dictionary an example sentence could be: After shaving his mustache, Castillo's philtrum and paraphiltrum were exposed in the teaser of "Duty and Honor".

This was a great movie, by the way.

The rating becomes an average after several votes.Speaking of rating, I keep meaning to go back and work out my top five episodes (did you see those posts? Setting up that poll was a labor of love by Timm, I think). I voted a long time ago and only picked out one ep. I don't know if I could break it down more.Erm, back on topic: Yes, all things about Castillo are great, some people can do moustaches well. I think you have to be the right age to have one.

It's actually part of the episode itself, so if you have access to the episode you're good to go. The "teaser" is the earliest part of the episode; it takes place BEFORE the opening credits.
