Though he had made a number of memorable movie and TV appearances over the years, it was the role of Detective Sonny Crockett, in the hit series Miami Vice that made Don Johnson a household name, and won him a 1985 Golden Globe Award as Best Actor in a Television Series (Drama). [1]

Sonny Crockett on the hugely successful TV show “Miami Vice” (1984), Don Johnson is one of the stars that really defined the 1980s. [2]

Bored with small-town life, pals Zachariah (John Rubinstein) and Matthew (Don Johnson) decide to help a gang of outlaws (’70s musicians Country Joe and the Fish) stage electric-guitar festivals and bank robberies. [3]

Donald Wayne “Don” Johnson (born December 15, 1949) is an American actor known for his work in television and film. [4]

Born December 15, 1949, in Flat Creek, MO, Johnson is also a champion powerboat racer. [1]

Still, “Miami Vice” had not only style but substance, and his portrayal of the Vietnam veteran turned vice detective turned Sonny Crockett into the world’s favorite cop. [5]

The movie was launched March 14, 2008 in Norway, with Johnson making an appearance at the premiere. [4]

He balanced his work on the series by appearing in the critically acclaimed TV film The Long Hot Summer (1985) (TV), an adaptation of the Tennessee Williams novel, and the film Sweet Hearts Dance (1988) with Susan Sarandon. [...] Johnson was born in Flat Creek, Missouri, the son of a farmer and a beautician. [5]

Johnson played the title role of Nash Bridges, a detective for the San Francisco Police Department. [6]

Co-wrote a two-hour movie with his neighbor Hunter S. Thompson. [5]

Johnson is a Golden Globe winning actor for his role in Miami Vice, a winner of the APBA Offshore World Cup, and has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. [4]

After working on stage for a while, he ventured into films and television, but was not able to break out into stardom despite among other things starring in the sci-fi cult classic A Boy and His Dog (1975). [2]

Johnson later starred in the 1996-2001 drama Nash Bridges with Cheech Marin, Jeff Perry, Jaime P. Gomez and Jodi Lyn O’Keefe. [4]

For his work on “Miami Vice” Johnson won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series in 1986, and was nominated in the same category a year later. [5]

Soon she was sharing a comedy special with just one other comic (”Pair of Jokers: Margaret Cho & Bobby Collins,” Showtime, 1993) and, by 1994, headlining and scripting her own (”HBO Comedy Half-Hour: Margaret Cho”). [...] The comedy club where she began developing her act was conveniently located above the bookstore owned by her immigrant parents. [...] Cho skillfully mined the many contradictions and absurdities of her dual heritage as a twenty-something Korean-American to generate laughs while exposing and exploding ethnic and sexual stereotypes from within and without.

Moran “Margaret” Cho (born December 5, 1968) is a Korean American comedian, fashion designer, actress, author, and recording artist. [3]

Her 2001 “Notorious C.H.O.” tour culminated in a sold-out show at Carnegie Hall, and in 2004, the CD of her “Revolution” tour was nominated for a Grammy. [4]

We had discussed earlier a song of his that I am obsessed with, “The Whole Shebang,” which is from the soundtrack to “Velvet Goldmine,” which is probably my favorite rock and roll film, and how I wanted our song to have the same type of rhythm and cadence. [...] I am going to write this song and magically I will start caring about the song and stop caring about you. [2]

Bam Bam and Celeste, a low-budget comedy about a “fag hag ” and her gay best friend, co-starred Cho’s friend and co-touring act Bruce Daniels. [...] While at the school, she became involved with the school’s improvisational comedy group alongside actor Sam Rockwell. [3]

Television newcomer and stage actress Brooke Elliott stars as lawyer Jane Bingum, and Margaret plays her gal Friday, Terri. [...] The lyrics on CHO DEPENDENT, which tackle issues of sex, drugs, rock & roll (and lice), may be laugh-inducing, but Cho has made no compromises when it comes to the quality of the songwriting and production. [4]

We recorded it at Ryan Freeland’s studio ‘ the amazing engineer responsible for Aimee Mann’s terrific sound as well as Crowded House, Brett Dennen, and of course Grant Lee Phillips ‘ with the incomparable Alexander Burke and many of Aimee Mann’s band ‘ Paul Bryan and Jeben Bruni included! [2]
