PHILIP MICHAEL THOMAS

Thomas is best known for his role as the detective Ricardo Tubbs in the popular TV series “Miami Storm” in the 1980s. His first famous role was opposite Irene Cara in Coonskin (1975) and the 1976 movie Sparkle. After his success in Miami Vice, he appeared in many film and telephony service commercials made for television. The ’80s were filled with a lot of amazing shows and one of them is Miami Vice, thanks to the wonderful performance of Philip Thomas as Ricardo Tubbs.

He first started making waves with Coonskin in 1975 then later, Sparkle. Branching out to the gaming world, Philip Thomas voiced Lance Vance, one of the most famous characters in the best-selling game of its time, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Since then, he has also dipped a finger into the music industry releasing two albums that failed woefully. We really hope he had some business insurance before releasing those albums. Hopefully, he was able to make some good investment choices during his career.
