Personal Quote:
The beauty of the characters on 'Justified' is that all the human beings that are written are all flawed. Even with the good guys, you see darkness surface. See more »Trivia:
Miami Vice (1984) was produced by Michael Mann, Mykelti guest-starred in the pilot episode. They would later collaborate on Heat (1995) and Ali (2001) with Michael Mann as director. See more »Star Sign:
