This first part of the series celebrates iconic figures from a decade defined by heartthrobs and leading men.

Philip Michael Thomas, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1949, became a household name portraying Rico Tubbs in “Miami Vice,” a role he held from 1984 to 1989.

Tom Selleck, now 79, remains active in the industry, reprising his role as NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on “Blue Bloods,” having previously starred in “Magnum P.I.” Meanwhile, Tony Danza, who charmed audiences as Tony Micelli in “Who’s the Boss?” is currently featured in the crime drama series “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” at 72 years old.

The video also pays tribute to Ted Danson, 76, known for his iconic role as Sam Malone in “Cheers,” who continues to entertain with a fictionalized version of himself in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Tragically, Robert Urich, who played Spencer in “Spencer for Hire,” passed away in 2002 at the age of 55, while John Schneider, now 63, has a new role in the 2024 drama “The Good Fight.”
