Don Johnson achieved wide recognition playing as the undercover detective sergeant James ‘Sonny’ Crockett in the crime drama series ‘Miami Vice’ (1984-1990). He is said to be one of the most prominent stars that defined the 1980s. Later on, he played another cop role as the title character in the police drama series ‘Nash Bridges’ (1996-2001).
The undeniable success of ‘Miami Vice’ had a huge impact on the actor that even the legendary luxury car founder Enzo Ferrari gifted him a Ferrari Testarossa as appreciation for his work. Likewise, Gianni Versace got inspired by his role that he was the first person in Miami that the designer dressed.
