Philip Michael Thomas – 70 – Janitor

Actor Philip Michael Thomas first became known for appearing in Sparkle and Coonskin, but his biggest break came in the ’80s when he was cast in the popular show called Miami Vice. Some of you might not have known this but before he went to college, he spent some time working as a janitor to earn the funds he needed for his studies. He eventually joined the world of academia but dropped out and pursued a career as an actor instead. Thomas remained active until the 2000s, and it seems like he hasn’t been occupied with that much acting work anymore these days. His last project was a 2015 short film titled Thank You, Fifteen.
