Philip Michael Thomas - the multi-talented performer best known as Detective Rico Tubbs in the iconic 1980s TV series Miami Vice (1984) - made his Broadway debut in 1971 in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play No Place to Be Somebody...and hasn't looked back since.
In a remarkable career that spans nearly four decades, PMT has worked with some of the top stage, screen, and recording personalities in the world.
He first guest starred on TV in 1973 in the pilot for the series Pilot (1973), followed by parts in Good Times (1974), Police Woman (1974), Medical Center (1969), Wonder Woman (1978)_, _Starsky and Hutch (1978)_, and Trapper John, M.D. (1979) before landing the role on Miami Vice (1984) in 1984 that made him a household name - and took him on a whirlwind tour of the globe and into the presence of heads of state (including President Ronald Reagan and Nelson Mandela), fellow celebrities, and countless adoring fans.
Despite world-wide stardom as an actor of both stage and screen, it is music that is PMT's biggest passion. He wrote his first song at the age of 11 and, over the next 40 years, wrote, composed, and sung everything from Gospel to R&B to pop standards to rock. One long-time friend recently referred to the musical side of PMT as "an undiscovered diamond."
During the stratospheric years of Miami Vice (1984-1989), PMT released two highly regarded albums: Livin' the Book of My Life (1985) and Somebody (1988), both on his own Starship Records label, with distribution by industry giant Atlantic Records. Although much loved by fans to this day, his albums didn't sell as well as expected (perhaps due to a wide range of musical styles that defied pigeonhole) and remain out of print, although they often fetch a tidy sum on eBay. PMT is considering reissuing his solo albums with bonus tracks sometime in 2007 or 2008.
The power of imagination and love to overcome circumstances is a theme that runs through the fabric of his life. He cites singing "The Impossible Dream" (from Man of La Mancha) while at Oakwood College in 1967 as a turning point for him.
Considered by long-time friends and family members alike to be one of the most compassionate, spiritual, and generous men they've ever known, PMT credits his uplifting, positive outlook on life to a vegetarian diet, regular exercise, life-long learning, friends he's made through the years, and books such as The Holy Bible, Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, and Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, among many others.
PMT loves Florida and has chosen to make his home there instead of L.A. or New York as do most of his colleagues. Naturally, this keeps him out of the limelight, but it's a mistake to assume that just because his name isn't regularly splashed across the tabloids that he's not keeping himself busy. In fact, he is working (2007) on his autobiography, his official web site, reading scripts, performing, writing music, and helping young performers reach the heights he has reached - and doing it all with characteristic charm, grace, vitality...and with his trademark banner, "Treasure beyond measure!" flying proudly overhead.- Michael Thomas is an American actor born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A utilitarian comedic and dramatic actor on film, TV and the stage, Michael Joseph Thomas Ward, began his acting career following an exceptionally strong background in radio as a deejay, reporter, newsman, news writer and sports director.
He was born Michael Joseph Ward III on March 10, 1959, in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst, Illinois, the son (and second of five) of the late Michael J. Ward, Jr., a journalist and public relations executive, and Harriet M. Ward, a nurse. He received his early education in both the Riverside and Roselle areas of Illinois. Naturally athletic, Michael lettered in cross country, basketball and track during his high school years at Lake Park High School in Roselle.
Enrolled at the University of Notre Dame as a pre-med student, Michael graduated in 1981 and went on to Memphis State University for an intended masters' degree in Microbiology. During this time of study, however, a chance meeting with Memphis WRVR radio deejay Rick Robinson led to a life-altering career change. With the assistance of Robinson, Michael made a vocal demo tape and successfully moved into the world of radio.
Abruptly leaving his graduate program after eight months, Michael returned to Chicago and landed a weekend radio deejay gig at WKDC in Elmhurst with a Broadway show tune format. He also worked as a reporter for a PM Magazine type show that aired on Elmhurst Community Cable TV and, some time later, as an intern for Chicago news commentator Charles Cleveland at WBBM-TV.
Employed as a part-time news writer for WUBE-WMLX in Cincinnati in 1984, Michael moved to on-air work after a chance opened up for him to cover Pete Rose's quest to break Ty Cobb's record in a series against the San Diego Padres in September of 1985. This eventually led to a full-time job at WRBI, a country music station located in Batesville, Indiana. In addition to being their midday jock, he also served as their evening newsman, sports director and occasional interviewer for such celebs as Art Linkletter.
Michael's hiring as a news reporter and fill-in anchor at Cincinnati's WLW station would be his last full-time radio job. In 1988, he abruptly turned his focus to acting after being cast in the title role of "The Nerd" at a local Cincinnati theater. Other stage work followed with the drama "Blue Jacket," an outdoor production of "Johnny Appleseed," the classic Dickens play "A Christmas Carol" for The Human Race Theatre Co. in Dayton, Ohio, and a Notre Dame Summer Shakespeare production of "Much Ado About Nothing" (as Verges). He also went on to include improv and sketch comedy to his theatre résumé.
Michael had his first co-star role in an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries." A couple of commercials for Giant Eagle Supermarkets earned the actor his SAG card in 1997. Into the millennium, he broke into films with a bit role in the independent feature April's Fool (2001). Other movie parts followed including Blue Car (2002) written and directed by Karen Moncrieff and starring David Strathairn; Turning the Corner (2004), written and directed by Daniel M. McCormack; Graduation (2007), a comedy caper with Adam Arkin; the romantic comedy LAID: Life as It's Dealt (2012); A Kind of Murder (2016), a crime thriller starring Patrick Wilson and Jessica Biel; the comedy B-Roll (2019); and Echo Boomers (2020), an action drama starring Michael Shannon. One notable highlight was his supporting roles in a pair of films directed by Todd Haynes -- Carol (2015) starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara and the environmental drama Dark Waters (2019) with Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins.
Of his numerous short films, Michael portrayed Hades in a visual retelling of the Greek myth Persephone (2008), and has since graced a host of up-and-coming writer/director projects, including The Beekeeper (2009) by Sean Jourdan; White Solace (2011) by Jack Coleman; Bingo Night (2014) by Jordan Liebowitz; There Is No Door (2017) by Ward Crockett and the more recent Deliver Me (2020) by Yasmin Asif.
The highlight of Michael's TV credits was his starring role in the sci-fi comedy web series Dark Age (2013) as Arthur, one of a motley group of survivors adjusting to a post-apocalyptic world. Branching into producing, he is serving as an associate producer for the upcoming crime dramedy film Silent Bark, produced and written by Karen Cole.- Actor

Actor Michael Thomas Wallace hails from a working class family located in the Central New York area. Michael officially captured the 'acting bug' sophomore year in college, though his love affair with the movies started long before that.
Director Ridley Scott's film Alien had a profound influence on the future thespian. "While in elementary school I pleaded with my mother to stay up and watch it. Once my nightmares subsided, friends and I would gather in the basement to reenact scenes from the movie until the dangerous game was halted to keep the house from burning down." Despite the trouble Michael continues to draw inspiration from the movies he loves.
Michael Wallace caught his first big break acting in commercials and was lucky enough to work with acclaimed Australian Film Director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl/I, Tonya) on two memorable spots for Hyundai and Best Buy. For his feature film debut, Wallace had the principal role in the sports drama Rounding Home playing the love confused baseball player. His breakthrough role came in The Freeman Chronicles series based on the Half-Life video game and universe which has earned him raves from audiences the world over.
