Philip Michael Thomas, best known as Detective Ricardo Tubbs from Miami Vice, became the face of the Psychic Reader’s Network in the early 1990s. Though often remembered as an “80s TV phenomenon,” his psychic hotline commercials actually aired in the mid-1990s, where he pitched the Philip Michael Thomas International Psychic Network with the slogan: “From Miami Vice to world advice!”

n 1994, he signed with the Florida-based Psychic Reader’s Network (later Traffix, Inc.) to become its spokesman. The hotline was branded as the Philip Michael Thomas International Psychic Network, marketed heavily on late-night TV. The hotline was part of the broader 1990s psychic hotline boom, alongside Miss Cleo and other TV psychic services. While popular for a time, these hotlines were often criticized for high costs and questionable legitimacy. Thomas’s involvement became a quirky footnote in his career, contrasting sharply with his earlier fame as a TV action star.
