Don Johnson

Don Johnson defined a decade's aesthetic — the pastel jackets and stubble of Miami Vice remain visual shorthand for the 1980s — and that kind of cultural saturation usually buries an actor. What I respect is that he refused to be buried. The Golden Globe for Sonny Crockett was earned with genuine, melancholy acting rather than mere style; Nash Bridges showed his easy command of a long-running lead; and his later supporting turns reveal a relaxed, flinty character actor aging on his own terms. A Missouri kid who also charted as a singer, he is far more versatile than the icon suggests. The Walk of Fame star feels almost insufficient.
