PHILIP MICHAEL THOMAS | 72

If you’re a fan of crime television shows where there are tons of cops, criminals, and lawyers, then we’re pretty sure you’re familiar with Miami Vice. The show starred the actor Philip Michael Thomas who portrayed the role of undercover detective Ricardo Tubbs. It was reported that Thomas was paid an amount of $50,000 per episode. He also appeared in the movie Sparkle in 1976, and Coonskin in 1975.

After the success in all his movies, he appeared in numerous TV shows, and was invited by different advertisement agencies. Philip became the spokesperson for the cellphone entertainment company, Nextones. He also made it big as a voice actor for Grand Theft Auto. Most of his recent projects include this video game franchise. He’s now in his 70s, and there is still no information if he will stop in his career and retire. I will leave you a trivia, though. Philip has a total of 11 children.
