He emerged as a leading man in the 1970s, playing notable roles in films like Going Home (1971), which earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture; The Mechanic (1972), Damnation Alley (1977), and Big Wednesday (1978). He earned his second Golden Globe nomination for his role on the television miniseries The Winds of War (1983), before starring as helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke on the television series Airwolf (1984–87).

During the height of his career, Vincent was the highest-paid actor on American television. His success was tempered by an embattled personal and professional life, exacerbated by substance abuse and legal entanglements. After leaving Airwolf, he appeared in low-budget and independent films until retiring in 2003. During the latter part of his life, he suffered health issues, before dying in 2019 from a cardiac arrest.
