Philip Michael Thomas | 05/26/1949 | 72

As an introduction to this splendid actor and musician, he was born on May 26, 1949, making him 72, as of 2021. He started acting in the 1970s, particularly in some equally forgotten films, including Coonskin and Sparkle. Though the decade was kind enough for his career to bloom, nothing beats the 1980s, especially when Miami Vice’s crime drama started airing in 1984. Thomas played the role of Ricardo Tubbs and starred alongside Don Johnson. This project indeed brought fame and fortune to him, but his career started failing when the show ended in 1989.

Meanwhile, if you were able to play the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Philip is the voice for Lance Vance. Also, he takes the credit for making the popular acronym EGOT famous, which stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — awards that he’d like to have but failed even to be nominated.
