In an exclusive interview, Paul Michael Glaser, the beloved star of the iconic show ‘Starsky & Hutch’, pays tribute to his close friend and co-star, David Soul, who recently passed away. Glaser, now 80 years old, fondly recalls their time working together and the strong bond they shared.

Glaser describes Soul as not just a friend, but as a brother and a caring person. He reminisces about the moments they spent jokingly insulting each other on the phone, a testament to their deep friendship. It’s hard for Glaser to believe that Soul is no longer with us.

Glaser extends his heartfelt condolences to David’s wife, Helen, whom David loved dearly. He also sends his sympathies to David’s sons and daughter, acknowledging the immense loss they are experiencing.

Starsky & Hutch, the popular TV series that aired from 1975 to 1979, showcased the dynamic duo as detectives solving crimes in California. The chemistry between Glaser and Soul was palpable on-screen, making them a beloved pair among viewers.

Even in recent times, the prospect of a reboot of the show was being discussed. In 2023, there were talks of featuring female leads. However, David Soul playfully questioned why he and Glaser couldn’t be part of the reboot, suggesting they could portray older detectives solving small crimes in an assisted living facility.
