Michael Talbott (born February 2, 1955) is an American actor who is perhaps best known for his co-starring role as Det. Stanley Switek in the 1980s cop show Miami Vice. His other television credits include M*A*S*H, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Eight is Enough among other shows.
Talbott also appeared in a number of movies, playing a bully in Carrie, a party-crasher in Big Wednesday, a highway patrolman in Any Which Way You Can, a reckless stunt driver in Used Cars, and a reluctant deputy in First Blood. He also played a part in National Lampoon's Vacation but his scene was edited from the final cut, although his character "Cowboy" is shown in a photograph during the end credits, and his name appears in the credits as well.
