Back in the not so glorious 80's, every US TV drama seemed to have weird guest stars...... Miami Vice always seemed to have the most bizarre.
I give you....Leonard Cohen!
Does this kind of malarkey still go on?

Meeting your Cohen and raising you a Zappa...
Another strange Miami Vice guest appearance - and I have to admit it, Frank cuts a fine drug-dealer image...
Sadly not on youtube
Is the episode with Miles Davis guest starring as a pimp.
Cash trumps Zappa
Johnny Cash guest starring in Swan Song ("Schwanen-Gesang" in this German TV YouTube clip), a 1974 episode of Columbo, as murdering gospel singer Tommy Brown.
The plot has him killing his blackmail-plotting wife, Ida Lupino, by rigging a plane crash. Don't worry though, Columbo is on the case.
The best TV detective ever and one of the all-time great singers. What a double act.
Man in Black
also starred in his own TV movie in the mid 1980s called "Murder in Coweta County" which he played the detective. I caught it years ago at some unearthly hour and he was suitably gravel voiced and actually gave rather a fine performance.
Boy George
and the A Team?
Australian Suburbia
to a disco beat:
I'm always surpised
to see a programme that Jonathan Ross is not on
Lily Allen
..about to be in Neighbours
Michael Palin in Home & Away
Nugent's are high in this game buddy!
