In 1981 he appeared as Elvis in "Elvis and the Beauty Queen." This movie covered Elvis' life from age 37, where he fell in love with the 21 year old Miss Universe contestant named Linda Thompson. It covered his problems with all the people around him, and also showed how she tried to save Elvis from his drug use to the time of his death 5 years later.

Answer: Miami Vice

Don portrayed Detective James "Sonny" Crockett. Sonny grew up in southern Florida. He started his career in Robbery and transferred to Vice. He was in various relationships and due to his line of work, had some problems along the way. Sonny and Rico made a great team but left the department over a dispute. Don's wardrobe in this series made T-shirts with jackets and slip on tennis shoes the new fad.

This TV series had a great deal of music in it and was a view of what the future was going to be - MTV and VH1 videos! The two actors did guest star with their former co-stars in an episode of "Nash Bridges" (1996 to 2001) in which his co-star Cheech Marin also had his former comedy co-star Tommy Chong in the same episode. I really enjoyed that one!

"Heartbeat" was listed in a countdown of the "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever" in 2004 on VH1.

Answer: True

Don played a cowboy named Marlboro in this movie. Marlboro was from Vegas and did the rodeo circuit for a while. The two teamed up to save their friend's bar and ended up in brawls and being chased by bullets. In the end, Marlboro went back to the rodeo in his new boots. Regardless of what critics say, I sincerely enjoyed this biker and cowboy movie, because it did have its moments. I enjoyed seeing the famous brand name characters used throughout it as well.
