Will Varner owns just about everything in town and hires Ben to work in his store.

He decides that Ben Quick might make a good husband for Clara to bring some new blood into the family.

Detective James "Sonny" Crockett
Undercover Cop
Miami Vice TV Show
After years of struggling to establish himself as a TV actor, in September 1984, Johnson's fortunes changed when he landed the starring role of Detective James "Sonny" Crockett in the 1980s drama television series, Miami Vice.
Johnson played an undercover police detective. He wore thousand dollar Versace and Hugo Boss suits over pastel cotton t-shirts, drove a Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona, followed by a Ferrari Testarossa and lived on a 42-foot (13 m) yacht with his pet alligator "Elvis".

80's Fashion
Don Johnson Fashion Style
Miami Vice started a new fashion style in men's fashion. Don Johnson's typical Italian sport coat, pastel shirt, white linen pants with slip-on loafers with no socks, became a huge fashion hit. Unconstructed blazers, shiny fabric jackets, and lighter pastels were the "approved" colors.Many of the styles popularized by the Miami Vice TV show and still popular today, the beard stubble, t-shirts under pastel suits, no socks, rolled up sleeves, and Ray-Ban sunglasses are the standard image of 1980s culture and continued into the early 1990s, and that beard stubble? Still around today!

In Nash Bridges, Don Johnson shows up again as a TV cop with a whole lot of personal drama for his character. He's been divorced twice, has a teenage daughter, not always easy to get along with, works with Inspector Joe Domingues (Cheech), his brother is missing in the Vietnam War and his father suffers from mild dementia and later moves in with him. Whew!
In the 1997 Season 2 episode, "Wild Card", Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson reunite for the first time on television together since Miami Vice, with the Miami Vice theme playing in the background. Johnson compared Bridges to his Miami Vice character Sonny Crockett, saying Nash was "the same guy, just... ten years older.

- Great lens! I had totally forgotten about that movie, The Long Hot Summer. I'd like to see that again. I'll have to see if I can find a video of those Brady Bunch appearances, too. That would be funny! blessed!

- Tubbs and Crockett were called Tubbs and Crockett for so long, I'd forgotten the fellas had first names! Nice lens (nice suits, too). I wastched the movie and wasn't too disappointed -- it didn't stray too far from style, action, but the Sonny & Rico chemistry wasn't quite there. Thanks for the walk down Miami Vice lane.
