As a teen, I had posters of them covering my bedroom walls. Starsky & Hutch were the show I would race home from school to watch haha. Also? Totally just showed my age there...

Oh wow, tbh haven't heard of him but may he rest in peace.

Also, since your icon is Paul Newman here's a hot and gay screentest he did with James Dean for East of Eden, to play brothers. I think this explains why Newman wasn't cast....

I never watched the show, even though reruns were on TV all the time in the 90s, but a few people I follow on Tumblr post about it…and that show was very gay. I can understand why they’re still writing fanfic

Rest In Peace, David Soul. He was such a sex symbol with the TV show and the song hitting the charts. Hope he lived a happy life.
