What alias did Crockett use on "Miami Vice"?
Most undercover cops get a fake ID. Detective Sonny Crockett got a Ferrari, a sailboat, and a pet alligator. "Miami Vice" let its detectives live off seized criminal assets to sell their covers, and Crockett's fake identity took on a life of its own. What was the name of the undercover alias Crockett used on "Miami Vice"?

Correct Answer: Sonny Burnett
(Source)You gotta love that Crockett used one alias for years and nobody in Miami connected the dots (shouldn't have been hard considering he kept the same first name). He played Sonny Burnett so well that when a boat explosion in season four wiped his memory, even Crockett was convinced he was actually a cartel member and spent the start of the next season committing murders while his own department looked for him. It was "Miami Vice's" only season-ending cliffhanger because how could you possibly follow that with a "next week on"?
