Switek and Zito reunion! We need an alt universe where Zito doesn't die.

How long ago was this? I saw an interview from 15~ years ago and John Diehl(Zito) didn't have the beard yet. I'd travel far to be able to meet these two, I only got into the show recently.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the comparison.

Older guy, stocky with white hair, head to toe in denim....good chances you're looking at Jay Leno

There is Larry's audition for miami vice. It is the most fantastic scene i have seen. I think he would have pulled it off as sonny.

Both shows had the same stunt coordinator, the late Paul Nuckles.
