Finally finished first season of Miami Vice. And from what I can remember, here are some names of stars or characters they played when they became famous.
jimmy Smits, bubba Gump, boy meets world dad, Bruce Willis, Bob from la Bamba movie, Jay from modern family, guy from Mr deeds movie and transformer, Glen frey, Julio from Sanford and son, Pam Grier, and more I probably don't remember. Most of these people weren't famous yet including Bruce Willis that I know of.
The series started in '84 and ended in '90.
However it's listed as 5 seasons.
Much like our beloved Ironman, the bulk of the series was '85-'89 a basic 5 year run...and I Circled Back.
