There are a couple of things I'm not sure about in your question, but one thing I am sure about: that wasn't Amy Grant.

The classic, MTV-friendly '80s cop show "Miami Vice" featured a number of guest-starring appearances by popular musicians, but Christian pop star Amy Grant wasn't one of them.

Q: Does British actor Tom Wisdom have any projects in the works since "Dominion" was canceled?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Sadly no. He had one very brief one, but it's come and gone.

"Dominion" was canceled in October 2015, shortly after the season 2 finale aired. Tom Wisdom's only screen appearance since then was a 2016 episode of Fox's "Bones."

The episode was titled "The Jewel in the Crown." In it, Wisdom plays a somewhat snooty jewel expert who helps Booth and Brennan on a case but turns out to be more involved than it seems at first.

New Releases for the week of August 27-September 2

Baywatch

When devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (Johnson) adds three new lifeguards to his team, one in particular stands out, and not for the right reasons. Matt Brody (Efron), a former Olympic swimmer, takes the lifeguard position as a way of completing compulsory community service and doesn't take the job as seriously as he should. Like oil and water, the two men just cannot seem to work together, but when packages of drugs --and even worse, bodies -- start washing up on their peaceful beach, they're forced to set aside their differences to restore peace to their oceanfront paradise.

Director: Seth Gordon. Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, Jon Bass, Ilfenesh Hadera. 2017. 116 min. Action.

When his cousin and guardian, Ambrose, dies while in Italy, 25-year-old Philip becomes convinced that Rachel (Weisz), Ambrose's young wife, murdered him to inherit his estate. When she comes to England, Philip is ready to confirm his suspicions, but instead, he finds himself drawn to her beauty and elegance. Rachel is an enigma, and even as those around Philip become more suspicious of her, he finds himself falling deeper and deeper under her spell.

Corporate headhunter Dane Jensen (Butler) is in line for a big promotion, but his wife, Elise (Mol), wishes he'd spend more time at home with his children, Laura (Butters) and Ryan (Jenkins). Dane gets worried when, during one of the increasingly rare times he gets to spend with his son, he notices strange bruises on Ryan's skin.
