He had another one that was similar to Miami Vice called Crime Story that starred Dennis Farina.

Andrew Dice ClayGUEST
Crime Story.
Howie MandelHOST
Yes.
Andrew Dice ClayGUEST
Yeah.
Andrew Dice ClayGUEST
Now, if I was doing Travolta, I went to got Crime Story.
Howie MandelHOST
What do you mean?
Andrew Dice ClayGUEST
Because, because he wasn't gonna buy Travolta, you know? So when I auditioned, you know, Bonnie Timmerman was the casting agent for Crime Story.
Andrew Dice ClayGUEST
So they put me on tape, and I didn't hear.
James AdamsonHOST
He did Manhunter, which a lot of people love, but because of some shenanigans at studio executive level, it didn't get a big release and didn't make a lot of money.
James AdamsonHOST
And he kind of was probably more successful on TV prior to this with Miami Vice and Crime Story and some of the other stuff he did on TV.
James AdamsonHOST
But then Last of the Mohicans is a big hit.
James AdamsonHOST
And then he does Heat, which I think people describe as like the, it's like the, it's the essence of a Michael Mann film.
James AdamsonHOST
I was a fan of a lot of Michael Mann's TV.
James AdamsonHOST
I enjoyed Miami Vice.
James AdamsonHOST
I enjoyed Crime Story.
James AdamsonHOST
Crime Story, I think, is similar in that it's about a sort of an ongoing kind of duel between a cop and a robber who, you know, neither will stop at anything to kind of do what they've got to do.
Aaron SousaHOST
And he wrote a 180 page draft.
Aaron SousaHOST
for Heat after making Thief in 81 he rewrote it hoping to find a director to make it he wasn't actually going to direct it couldn't really find much so in the late 80s he offered the film to his friend Walter Hill who turned him down And then after the success of Miami Vice and Crime Story, NBC hired him to produce a new crime television show.
Aaron SousaHOST
So he took the script for Heat that he had been working on and turned it into a 90-minute pilot for a TV series featuring the LAPD, which had Scott Plank in the role of Vincent Hanna and Alex MacArthur playing Neil McCauley, who was renamed to Patrick McLaren for the TV show.
Aaron SousaHOST
The pilot was shot in 19 days, and the script was shortened to almost a third of its original length.
Calvin WatkinsGUEST
Yes, I want to apologize to the people.
Calvin WatkinsGUEST
I was watching Crime Story, and I was watching Kojak.
Calvin WatkinsGUEST
Julia Roberts was on Crime Story, not on Kojak.
Calvin WatkinsGUEST
I got my 80s crime shows, 70s crime shows mixed up.
Calvin WatkinsGUEST
What's
TabooHOST
Yep.
Lou Diamond PhillipsGUEST
And I auditioned for this show called Crime Story at the time, but I ended up being too young for it.
Lou Diamond PhillipsGUEST
But the casting director was Bonnie Timmerman.
Lou Diamond PhillipsGUEST
And, and, I didn't get that role, but literally the week after, she calls my agent and goes, hey, listen, really like Lou so much.
