Thank you for watching my channel! If you enjoyed this video, please SUBSCRIBE and HIT THE NOTIFICATION BELL to my channel. I have fun talking about television from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s television shows and often with the stars of the shows..
R.I.P David Soul.......Loved Starsky and Hutch as a Kid in the 70's
This is a very sad day for Starsky and Hutch fans. My heart goes out to David’s family❤️
Starsky and Hutch were such an important part of my teenage years! I never missed an episode! I lived in an unstable environment and that show brought normalcy and a sense of right and wrong that I admired at that time in my life! And hey- they were both handsome and charismatic- so it was my escape from reality every week! So thank you very much for this interview!
Truly my pleasure, I loved the show then and still do. Great personal story and I can see how Starsky and Hutch would have offered you an escape😀
I first watched them in Australia down the coast at my grandparents. We would all be watching the show together while my pappy smoked his cigs on the corner and we had tea and my Nans home baked cake.
@@pacesetterbyyou So glad it brought such wonderful memories in Aussie! Love it.
I must’ve been about 12 or 13 years old when I saw the pilot movie, and I loved it.. then, when the series started, I loved it even more …and as I grew into my teenage years I had such a huge crush on Starsky.. Starsky and Hutch was my first favorite cop show.
@@lisawicks8205%22 It is so awesome to think back to those memories isn't it! It was my favorite as well
I grew up watching Starsky and Hutch in the 70’s and that was a great show. I loved the relationship between them. David Soul, you will be missed. ❤❤❤
What is cool is in later years they were close again in real life.😀
It’s a sad loss indeed hard to believe he’s gone but will never be forgotten
@@Tiffany.1970 Pretty tough to be any cooler
@@Tiffany.1970 Always nice to hear from the UK! I think there are still alot of Torino's being painted those colors that is for sure!
@@Tiffany.1970 Very cool indeed, I will try to catch that if I track it down.
He looks fantastic for 80
He really does and his spirit on life is so uplifting too😀
These two complimented each other so well as Starsky and Hutch and as real friends in life. Loved David as Hutch and as David the singer and still do as I like many others had a big crush on him. Both such a large part of my life growing up. These guys were unique and unmatched. Nobody can copy them . R.I.P beautiful David and love to Paul Glaser such a great guy. xx
They definitely had a natural on screen chemistry that made the show😀I think a lot of people had crushes on either David or Paul. Makes me very sad to think of David’s passing.❤️
In the 80/90's we worked on Paul's as well as Elizabeth's cars, as well as numerous other celebrities and can say Paul is one of the kindest, most well grounded, down to earth people I've ever been blessed to meet. I was involved in an auto accident in 1991 and Paul had learned I was injured and hospitalized. He was working on "The Cutting Edge" at the time and I'm sure was ridiculously busy, yet this compassionate, so very, very, good man took time out of his schedule to send me a large bouquet of flowers. I was asleep and sedated and woke up to this amazing floral arrangement along with a card. I'm am absolutely certain he's also touched others just as deeply in a such a sincere and personal way. It is just who the man is. The world is a better place with Paul Glaser in it. Thank you for this upload, and Paul, if you read this - know your kindness during that personally challenging time meant more to this guy than you'll ever know.
Wow, thanks for that very heartfelt story about Paul, very touching. I believe you are right that he has probably touched others out there in some special way. Great guy to say the least. Thanks again for sharing❤️
wonderful story. You can tell he's a good man !!
As a 70's baby, 80's kid I still watch STARSKY & HUTCH to this very day. Rest Soul, Stay strong Glaser
It is a classic and David and Paul were the best! Still watch as well😀
Thank you, John for a beautiful, insightful interview with Paul. I loved the way you listened to him and respectfully let the moments of silence and his self-reflection float, so that we, the audience could be in the moment with his voice, memories and stories . . . a wonderful way to recreate these images! Loved his show, his art (on so many dimensions) and thank you again for this.
My pleasure, I have the utmost respect for Paul and loved every moment of the interview. He speaks from such a humble place, so glad you enjoyed it❤️
LOVED starsky and hutch, 70s heaven. Loved them both, such a great show
It still is a blast to watch Starsky and Hutch! Hope you enjoyed the interview😀
Paul was the nicest director I ever worked with.
Love hearing that, what did you work with him on?
A series called Raines with Jeff Goldblum. Paul was always affable with the crew. On the last day of Paul's episode transpo showed up with the Gran Torino. Paul yelled at the driver, "Get the fuck outta my car!" He then hopped in and peeled out and that was a wrap. Classic. His son waa a PA on the show. One of my fondest memories of 20years in the business
The 10 year old me was in love with this man. The only night I was able to stay up late was when “Starsky and Hutch” was on. This was, by far, the best interview I’ve ever seen with Paul. I’ve been reading about him for years, but he told stories here that I’ve never heard. You brought out the best in him.
Thank you so much for your compliment, I appreciate it. I feel fortunate to have the intimate moments at times that come up in an interview. Paul was so kind and open and I don’t take that for granted😀
Me too and still am😁
Paul you have lovely skin, looking really good👌♥️
@@mariathomson5538 I am sure he will love hearing that
@@summerrain7956- same
Starsky & Hutch Double Justice is one of the best police series. I didn't miss a single day. I loved how time passes so quickly. Paul Michael Glaser is great 🥰👍
Couldn’t agree more Rosana!!
I truly enjoyed this video so much. Growing up in the rural south, television had some issues at times. At least we had a good antenna, that was manual. Most of my favorite programs or movies were action packed, not what my parents thought was quite appropriate for a young lady. When Starsky & Hutch came on though, I was truly in my element. I found just last week that I could watch the pilot episode, and I watched as if it was brand new to me. Now, tonight I watched you talking to Paul, and it was so nice to see him again, but so being himself. I wish we still had more of those type films that I so adored back then. Prayers for all of David's family and friends. He will so be missed by so many adoring fans. May David's Soul rest in peace. God bless your heart from mine. Deme in Bama.😊
Glad the interview brightened your day. Back then was a special time in television that is for sure. Starsky and Hutch were just plain cool and I still love the show! Paul is such a humble guy and it was a personal thrill to interview him. David’s passing is very very sad for so many❤️
Cannot believe he is now 80 yrs old. He played in the movie fiddler on the roof i think that was his first movie he did. Nice to know he is doing good.
He looks great though😀Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ThatsClassicTVabsolutely he does look good.
brilliant, brilliant actor and I had crushes on both of them. Will have to buy the box set as I used to get so excited on Saturday nights when it was on. Best times then. Wish I could go back !!!
That was such a precious time, I hear you! Paul and David made it look so natural, the best!
I am a huge huge fan of Paul Michael Glaser. Paul you look wonderful
Thanks for sharing!
R.I.P David Soul
Very sad for so many of us ❤️
I’ve been a fan of Paul’s since I was a kid. Such a joy seeing him. Good interview.
Thanks so much Jon! Paul is a special guy and very humble as well😀
Terrific interview. I loved Starsky & Hutch. The chemistry between them was just amazing. They showed what true friendship is all about. Plus they oozed coolness! David Soul rest in peace!🙏❤️
Thrilled you enjoyed the interview! Honestly what amazing chemistry between Paul and David, I wanted to be them.
What a great interview ! Great questions and things to bring up. I loved the show growing up and always idolized both David and Paul when I was a kid. My dream was always to meet them and that finally came true in 2014 at Surcon. I got to sit right next to Paul during dinner and the whole event. David sat at the table next to us so I was close to both. It was such an awesome experience.
You are so lucky, I mean I think they are both so awesome. Glad you enjoyed the interview as much as I enjoyed doing it😀
What Paul Michael Glaser said about ‘fear’ was very impactful to me. I listened over and over to that because I have and had a lot of trauma in my life and at 62 I am still struggling with the fallout and it’s exhausting. Putting it into that perspective really resonated with me and I hope I can give it some more consideration and use his analogy in my daily life. I am not 100% fear. We would all do better to give this some thought.
I was a huge Starsky & Hutch fan and what I loved about their on screen relationship was their deep friendship that encapsulated both warmth and love between two men which came over as very genuine. So for me that was the over-riding emotion I felt and looked forward to every week. It was lovely hearing Paul after all these years!
I was sad to hear about David Soul’s recent passing. 🥰🙏🏻
So glad you took something away from the interview that might help your trauma. Paul has been through so much and remains humble and caring. David passing away really is still a shock.
I have my past too and I noticed I wasn't doing as well as I thought I did. I joined the zoom events with Paul several times now and I'm doing so much better. And because of that I also lost a lot of weight (over 80lbs now). Paul is great.
Starsky and Hutch has been my childhood show since the 5th grade. I have been following them in movies that they have been in and follow them in what they had accomplished in life. They made me very happy just to see their faces. They are very amazing men.
They are both so cool, glad you enjoyed the interview!
RIP David Soul - had been following the news last few yrs and knew the health battles were taking a toll. This interview is special - I don't know if Paul might ever be so candid like this again - I was awe struck by Paul's understanding of psychology: he obviously had to work on himself to cope with the instant stardom and then heal during the tragedy of Elizabeth (and daughter?) with the AIDS thing. Crazy. Paul's really become quite wise - I appreciate how different personalities they were from each other. God Bless David Soul, but I'm sorry some of the activism seemed so out of left field at times to me but I appreciate when a celebrity lends their voice to a cause, their fame helps bring a spotlight to an important issue that otherwise does not come up on the radar. Paul channeled his energies thru more creative expansions: directing and his art, etc. It felt like David still carried a lot of "anger" due to the health setbacks and mis-steps... I'm not saying that's wrong. You watch S&H and you'd never think these guys had such classical training in theatre/plays etc that was their foundation and laid crucial groundwork. Most importantly, these fellows - along with the unsung heroes like Antonio Vargas and all the crew etc Dutch Derbyll's special effects everything: they were hard working dedicated professionals who believed in truly giving their best.
I re-watched the pilot movie the other night - that scene in Hutch's car when they do the checklist - instant chemistry these two cops are true partners like wow they really really sold this camaraderie - those latter episodes when they sometimes quarreled and turned on each other were so cheap, hammy and far fetched. Seeing David Soul in Magnum Force really awed me how this young guy who'd been a baseball player and folk singer had quickly developed impressive acting chops as if he'd been an actor as tenured as say Olivier or something. These guys really worked at their craft and worked and worked and worked. It's funny because in "Friends" none of the six characters have a on-screen intermingling chemistry the likes of which were evoked on S&H. A generational thing in part, perhaps. Credit to the casting team/production team who recognized casting these two could actually deliver on the promise.
Thanks for your insight. Paul and David had a special chemistry that just doesn't happen that often. I am very honored that Paul opened up on the level he did in the interview and the way it has affected so many people. Thanks again!
I used to watch the show every week with my brothers and friends.
Glad it brought back a wonderful memory for you😀
LOVED the "lost the insurance" story!! How GREAT!!! Paul was my first major crush when I was a kid and I still have my collection of his pics in my closet. Just couldn't bring myself to get rid of them just yet. Thank you for this interview, and thank YOU Paul for doing it! ❤
I loved that story as well😀So glad you enjoyed it and it brought back great memories too!
RIP David Soul !
Paul looks great still !
Sad every time I think about David's passing. I agree Paul looks great and has a wonderful humble energy about him.
He is one awesome, amazing & handsome man. He is very humble, caring & a joy to watch & listen to him. I saw one of his Power Of Awareness Zooms & is worth joining.
Thanks Barbara, I think he is awesome too!
@ThatsClassicTV you are welcome. I have his book & saw one of his Zooms on Power Of Awareness. I also hope to get one of his. Pieces of art. What a truly very sweet, handsome, amazing man.
@@barbarabrusatori8585 Fantastic!
As most teenagers in the 70’s I was a fan of Starsky and Hutch. To listen to Paul now and understand his incredible intellect and true nature is fascinating. His strength in how he coped with his personal losses is inspiring. His sense of humility and honesty in many of the interviews I’ve watched as of late is a display of the wisdom he has acquired through this journey we call life. He is truly a person worth admiring and respecting. He serves as a beacon of strength and hope in such tumultuous and turbulent times. You Mr. Glaser are a source of light. Thank you.
I was a huge fan of Starsky and Hutch and Paul in particular. He was very humble to interview as well as when I talk with him as a kid. Wonderful energy, I am thankful for the moments I have had with him😀
@@ThatsClassicTV it’s fascinating that you met him when you were a kid as a fan of the show. Certainly a memorable experience.
Merci beaucoup pour cet interview, une des plus belles et intenses que j'ai pu voir avec Paul Michael Glaser. On peut voir l'admiration et le respect que vous avez pour lui, et le plaisir que vous prenez tous les 2 à discuter ensemble. Et surtout, vous lui laissez le temps de parler.... C'est rare et précieux. J'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour son parcours d'acteur, realisateur, peintre, écrivain,.... Mais surtout beaucoup d'admiration pour son chemin de vie personnel, sa force, et le message de résilience qu'il transmet.
Merci pour ce beau moment entre vous 2 🙏
Thank you so much, very heartfelt. Paul is very inspiring and he has always been very special in my eyes. He has through so much personal loss and he moves forward with humbleness and strength. I feel very fortunate to have had the time I have had with him.
@@ThatsClassicTV 🙏👍💖
wow He is amazing. love the show i was a kid Back then. with changle Angles. love it.
Yeah, it brought me back, I really enjoyed "Starsky and Hutch", it meant a lot to me to interview him😀
I just hope the "Starsky" character at least set him up for life financially and gave him the freedom to do more satisfying projects. A very interesting man.
I hope he did as well but it certainly opened up tremendous opportunities for him. Paul is a good soul😀
@@ThatsClassicTVthey didnt get any residuals
In the 70's in NJ i lived on the 2nd floor and our neighbor was an undercover cop and had a Grand Torino, he had dark brown curly hair and I saw him running after a guy that was running from an accident in our neighborhood and i looked out the window and I screamed mom look tge David Soul and Starsky my neighbor smile and his partner was a blond, he said we are the ❤real cops. It was nice.
What a cool memory! Thanks for sharing 😀
I love this man!!! Extremely talented actor/director/artist...
Starsky and Hutch remains the best cop show ever made. It had excellent writing which was emphasized by the genius talent of the actors involved.
David Michael Glaser rocked my childhood (and still does). ❤️❤️❤️
Starsky and Hutch always held a special spot for me as well growing up. Hope you enjoyed reliving those memories watching the interview!
I did. Thanks so much!!!@@ThatsClassicTV
Fantastic interview....PMG gave us a lot of himself ...the show was great his art is greater, love the fact he rebels against the pressure to have a "style" ..im hoping to get the book he's written for my grandaughter..a lot of years in one conversation..thanks for posting
Thank you so much! I am very thankful for Paul’s sincerity during our interview. I have heard from many people that say they love his book! My pleasure😀
In my mid-20's, I worked for Paul as a Production Assistant on his first feature as a Director on 'BAND OF THE HAND' in the Fall of 1985 in Miami.
Paul was under a lot of pressure by the studio, the producers and family challenges ... and thus, I learned much as a director and what it is to me a man, by witnessing him each day on the set dealing with each day's slow-motion riot of creative roadblocks.
Most of all, he came out of it still standing.
Thanks, PMG ... you made a difference in myself and career in many ways.

Winter, 2024
Thanks so much for sharing D.A. What an opportunity you had to work around Paul. Having met him myself I can understand what it must have been like to see him during that time. He made a difference in my life as well. Appreciate you!
I appreciate you back, amigo.
You were meant to meet Paul way back when. Call it karma, destiny or just plain luck.
By your interview, it appears you 'get' one's creative journey is, like Paul's --
It is a constant communion of our own human heart.
It's is through life's joys, loves, losses and ultimately ...
... simply living each day forward from the lessons of all our yesterdays where we find the redemption to put that proverbial water back into the well so others may drink ...
Keep at it. I am. ...... @@ThatsClassicTV
ps: If you ever talk to Paul again, tell him he can hang on to that denim shirt I lent him through his then assistant, out on location of the 'Disco Scene' in 'BAND OF THE HAND' -- as it's only been about 40 years and I have a few more since then. (lol)
Best-!
D.A.
@@MeBeTheDB Well said, thanks. Stay positive and I think you were also meant to have your experience with Paul as well. Always wonderful to look back and see the effect on where you are now.
I remember Paul in Fiddler on the Roof in 1971 as the character Perchek..he was great!! I never saw Starsky and Hutch even though I grew up in the 70s, it just wasnt on at our house..:)
Enjoy the interview, he talks about his time on Fiddler.
Wow what a deep dude.
So many sides of this guy.
I would agree, Paul is very deep in the interview and is such a humble soul. So interesting!
Wow,great interview love Starsky and Hutch !!! Funny cuz I'm almost 60, he looks great ❤❤!!!
He really does and loved interviewing him!
There was no mention of Huggy Bear, a great character in Starsky and Hutch
Sorry, I love Antonio Vargas but we just didn't have time to talk about him as Paul has so many aspects to his life.
AWESOME interview! I enjoyed every precious second of it!!!!
Thanks so much😀I truly enjoyed doing it!
Thank you so much for this interview! He’s the best!
I always enjoyed watching him as an actor😀Just a great guy!
Great interview , thank you for posting . Amazing insights from Paul. Loved the stories about him directing the S&H episodes / loved all the episodes that he and David directed - the tension in the one Paul was describing with the actress was excellent. Remembering David as I write this too.
My pleasure, I think the world of Paul and truly wish I could have met David as well. I love Starsky and Hutch! That episode he talks about is one of the best. Hurts a lot thinking about David’s passing❤️
thank you so much for the interview. So glad to catch up on some of my favorite actors.
My pleasure, I enjoy it as much as you do😀
Such an honest and open interview. Thank you! 🇨🇦❤
Thanks Debra, loved how reflective Paul was in the interview!
Je viens de voir cet interview que je trouve magnifique. Quel plaisir de retrouver Paul dans le temps présent. J'ai pu comprendre tout le reportage, même si la traduction laisse parfois à désirer et comme l'a dit un commentateur, c'est le meilleur interview qui ait été fait. Vos questions, ses réponses sont un vrai régal, j'ai aussi rit à certains passages. Bien sûr une mention spéciale pour le rappel de Starsky et Hutch. Ces hommes resteront inégalés et inoubliables pour leur merveilleux travail sur cette série mythique. Leurs personnages sont à jamais dans mon coeur/nos coeurs pour toutes les émotions qu'ils nous ont fait ressentir et me font encore ressentir car je regarde toujours la série à ce jour, sans m'en lasser. De grands acteurs. Bien sûr une pensée pour Elizabeth et Ariel, ce que cet homme a traversé est tellement tragique et injuste...Une pensée également pour David qui a eu, lui aussi, ses moments difficiles. Ces hommes qui nous ont apporté tant de plaisir : la vie n'a pas été très tendre avec eux !!! Je les adorais et les adore toujours. Merci pour ce beau reportage.
Merci beaucoup pour vos merveilleux compliments. J'adore Starsky et Hutch et cette interview signifiait beaucoup pour moi. Paul est si gentil et ouvre son cœur aux gens. Moi aussi, je suis désolé de voir David traverser une période difficile et j'aimerais l'interviewer. Nous verrons. Merci encore d'avoir regardé !
J'ai adoré cet interview qu'une personne m'a fait découvrir. J'ai trouvé Paul très naturel et touchant à certains moments. Ce que j'ai le plus apprécié c'est le passage où il parle de sa femme Elisabeth et de sa fille, en réponse à une question que vous lui avez posée. Quand il parle de la peur et de tout ce que nous possédons en nous pour lutter contre cette peur, de la compassion envers nous-même et envers les autres. Vraiment, c'est très édifiant. Comme la personne qui vous a fait un précédent commentaire (c'est elle qui m'a fait découvrir votre reportage), j'aimerais bien que vous réalisiez aussi une interview sur David Soul. Tout ce qu'ils ont donné d'attachant à leurs personnages de Starsky et Hutch, est inoubliable !@@ThatsClassicTV
I think Paul said in an interview he auctioned the famous leather jacket for the aids charity he was involved with . The cardigan - he didn’t know what happened to it . Was only worn once .
I’d love to know the significance of the necklace Starsky wore ????
David’s health seems to be failing( I’m in the UK) but Paul has said he’s in regular contact with him .
The programme was fantastic and ahead of its time . The onscreen chemistry made the show . Nothing has been as good .
Just an amazing show and the two of them were just naturals. Thanks for all your insight and love the UK!
Such a great interview. Like many others the show helped me get through a difficult week back in the 1970s. My first crush too.
New Subscriber here, ThatsClassicTV has left a reply to each n every message, touched my heart, such a beautiful gesture when there are so many. Thankyou.
Thank you so much Lisa, that means a lot to me 😀Also thank you for subscribing! I truly love what I do and I am a fan as well. It is truly special how a TV show can get us through some tough moments in life and maybe that is one of the reasons why the classic shows hold up.
Amazing interview. It's always a pleasure to hear him telling stories and life philosophies. S&H still is my favourite show since I was a child when it started airing in Brazil in the late 70s (and I still watch it). I found very interesting when he talks about work in TV shows and the fans think the artists are part of their lives, feeling as if they/we know them and he´s right, they end up being a big part of our lives. I follow their careers, read and watched a lot of material about the show but your interview brought new things. Thank you for the opportunity and for let him speak freely. Hugs from Brazil.
Love hearing from you in Brazil! Glad you enjoyed the interview and learned new things, Paul is such an interesting guy. I still watch Starsky and Hutch myself, fun to hear about your enjoyment of watching the show in Brazil as well. Thanks for watching😀
Thanks for the kind answer. I'm such a fan of the series that I used to record parts of the eps on cassette tape and write summaries of each one. About 20 years later, the show aired on Fox Channel and I had to subscribe the cable channel in order to record the show on VHS. And being older and able to understand it better, I started to admire it even more. And then, thanks to the internet, I was able to have access to so many great interviews and material about the series and the wonderful artists. Today, I´m 56 years old and old habits don't die easily! Thanks for reading my message. Big hug!@@ThatsClassicTV
@@1802Sacha That's awesome, I love it. I get it, when you are completely into a show it so fun to get into it as much as possible. It doesn't matter how old you get!
A nice and very personal interview with Paul - I met him, David and Antonio Fargas at an event in the UK several years ago and I still remember the fun Paul had trying to make me crack up on the group photo we were taking. What he had to say about life, fear and awareness of self in this talk with you is especially meaningful in the era we're currently living in. I also really want to read Chrystallia and the Source of Light. This was great to watch and the second half struck a very big chord.
Happy to hear on all fronts😀Paul obviously cares about people and you get the impression he truly just wants to be seen as a normal guy. I agree with you, his book sounds awesome!
Have had similar experiences with Paul. Who knew "Starsky" was so, so funny!
@@gailreese4102 Paul is just a great guy.
It's hard to believe he is 80 years old and looks good
He looks great and has such a wonderful peaceful energy about him😀
Cool guy, thanks for the interview.
My pleasure and love your handle as well!😀
He directed one of my favorite movies’ the Cutting Edge’. Toe Pick!
Great to hear, I will have to check it out😀
A really good interview. I was totally in love with him as a kid watching Starsky and Hutch. Wow, he is in really good shape for a man of 80. Especially after all he has been through in his life. He really has come up on the other side, so to speak. Keep up the good work, Paul! I thought it was really interesting the way he said that at the beginning, he and David didn't really connect that much off camera, but as they came to know each other and work together over the years, there came to be a real care and love. That's a very beautiful story.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Paul is just an amazing guy😀
What a deep and profound interview! Didn’t know how much this men was interesting…I can understand why he was frustrated. Can relate to the helplessness feeling and fear, my mother had multiple sclerosis and became paralyzed when I was very young. The worst feeling is to feel that you can’t do much to change the situation. RIP David Soul who was also an interesting artist.
Thrilled you enjoyed the interview and so sorry you went through the struggle with your Mom❤️Paul is a deep caring human being and it shows in the interview. Helplessness takes a lot of strength to face as you know. All my best to you.
Love this chat , Paul is a consummate professional and a genuinely lovely talented family man 🙏😍
Thanks Sue, glad you loved it! Paul definitely speaks from his heart and only wants the best😀
Good interview. Always enjoyed the show. I always wondered what he thought of the car.
I love he calls it a pig
Glad you enjoyed the interview George. Paul really says it like it is when it comes to the Torino😂
Excellent interview. John Cato is brilliant. He asked all the questions that I’ve been dying to hear the answers to for decade’s! I’m an actor and Paul’s experiences truly resonated with me. His knowledge of the craft is priceless. Well rounded artist is an understatement. My fondest memory of the character ‘Starsky’ was his ability to look as if he were light as a feather. My favorite show of all time and my inspiration to embark on an acting career. Thank you, Paul (& David) for setting such an incredible example.
Thank you so much Mary! I truly appreciate that. Paul is a great and giving actor and truly a special person. It is so cool that Paul influenced you to be an actor as it is so much more than just a job to him. I also loved Starsky and Hutch growing up and never missed it!
@@ThatsClassicTV It was my pleasure! I thank you for sharing this very rare glimpse into the mind of a living legend! 👏👏
Great interview amazing actor and person director ❤
Couldn’t agree more Kim, Paul really is inspiring 😀
John, is this a recent interview? Paul does NOT look or act 80 years old in this video! Wow! Great interview by the way. I’ve always liked Paul and I you drew him out really well! Great job! 😊👍
The interview is with in the last six months. Paul looks great and is so humble😀
@@ThatsClassicTVYes, he seems humble. Also I recorded what he said about fear and without thinking I almost reposted that clip on my CZcams page but then I remembered it was your video, not mine! 😲😳🤦♂️😂 I’ll figure out how to maybe quote it somehow and give you credit for it. Anyway, I just found your channel and it’s right up my alley; old shows are in my blood! 😊👍
@@DroneManMurphy Glad your a subscriber and thanks for the credit

Great tv show watched it when I was kid. Rip David Soul
It still is a great show, definitely a huge loss with David❤️
Love these guys❤
Glad you enjoyed the interview, it is awesome to hear Paul's stories!
Paul LLoved you then I Love you now and I will always Love you ♥️🌹
You and so many others, what a great guy!😀
Not surprising that he got into art to express himself as he's a multi faceted interesting individual. You can tell he spends each day learning, constantly learning. He's a deep thinker who amalyzes everything life has to offer & whatever comes his way. Very intelligent person. Great interview. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure. Agreed he definitely doesn’t hold his creativity back, so interesting😀
Éste señor, es un ACTORAZO.❤❤
Humilde,sencillo y LINDO..😊
Paul is so humble and a beautiful soul😀
You are as giddy as i would be actually talking to him. I was a kid at the time and i was more Starsky than Hutch. From the beginning i was a HUGE Starsky and Hutch fan. Until i'm gone it will always be my favourite show. I know he HATED the car but we all loved it. I own 2 die cast versions of the car. We love you Paul and we will always miss David
Believe me, I was very giddy and just thrilled to talk to Paul. He had such an effect on my life as a young guy. Truly a kind soul and Starsky and Hutch was such a cool show as well!
Loved Paul Michael! I got a sweater like Starsky s!
I always wanted that sweater! I think the world of Paul. Glad you enjoyed the interview😀
My sons had the same sweaters they wore them at the 3 wedding in our family in 1979 (including mine to their stepfather Tore RIP sweetheart) happy days
I love him🥰
I hear you, what a great energy😀Enjoy the interview!
Legend
And a great guy, just wonderful in the interview😀
102nd ahh man as a young gay kid in the 70's i had a Huge Crush on Starsky.....loved that show...great Interview......
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the interview!
Great series and great cars.My dad had a red hutch mobile LTD(RIP). You made a rap lyric.Tony touch 50 MC's.God bless take care 👍♥️
Glad you had some great memories come back to you. Thanks for watching😀
I was 7 years old when the first episode was broadcasted and ten at the final episode. All my childhood. I remember to see this show with my parents. Now, i'm still see it with my spouse who has the same age than me , in a french tv application : MOLOTOV TV through his channel: STARSKY ET HUTCH channel
What a wonderful story! Glad the interview brought back such wonderful memories for you! Viva la France!
Bravo, Paul Michael Glaser...
❤😢🙏🏻💫 David Soul 2024... Forever!
Awesome thanks for watching😀
@@ThatsClassicTV Thanks to you! 👍🏻😃🌟🍀
@@entidadalan4967 All my best!
@@ThatsClassicTV Thank you very much... 🤗🍀👍🏻
@@entidadalan4967 My pleasure!
I loved Starsky in my youth. A super cool guy who drove a super cool car. I mean, who didn't want a red Torino with a white stripe in those days 👍☺️
Exactly just the coolest and the car put it over the top👍
I love the scene with sweater coming of the water.
Wow, great memory!
He also was in Fiddeler on the roof excellent movie
He was and actually talks about that experience in the interview, great story.
I just checked out his book. So glad I now know it exists! Just FYI, Mr. Glaser reads the audio book. The sample sounds great.
Awesome! He said in the interview that he read it and I was thinking the same thing to get the audiobook.😀
@@ThatsClassicTV , Ha! I did listen, how did I miss that?! 🤣
A mi papi le encantaba ésta serie..
Y ahora yo la estoy viendo..y es verdad .fue una de las mejores series de detectives de los 70.., que pena que sólo tuvo 4 años al aire...
Must bring back some wonderful memories of your Dad😀
❤❤❤
Thanks Ann, hope you enjoyed the interview!
Grea o lisen to real people acting on a world stage What a pleasure to see today and sharing the ups and downs of Stardum
Thrilled you enjoyed the interview and it added to your day👍
Really enjoyed this thank you. Loved S&H as a kid and still to this day have the DVD box set! It was a massive show here in the Uk and was always gutted Paul and David never made a reboot. Am I right in remembering Paul starred as Harry Houdini in a 70s or 80s movie?
Yes, you are correct and he was great in that Houdini movie. I think it is available on CZcams. Glad you enjoyed the interview, I loved having Paul on the show.
@@ThatsClassicTV Loved the way he was "kind" about the movie. Let's just say Paul and David showing up at the end was the best thing about it! 😁
@@chrisab66 He has a great heart that is for sure.
@@ThatsClassicTV indeed he has and glad he has survived the tragic loss of his wife and daughter. That was awful beyond words. Would you be able to get David Soul on? Would love to hear him reminisce about S&H and the fabulous Salems Lot.
@@chrisab66 I am trying but very difficult to reach, so who knows.
An amazing interview. Starsky & Hutch to this day is my all time favorite show. I love Ben and Owen but hated the movie because it seemed to make fun of the show and they got the characters backwards. I never knew Paul wrote and I am going to find that book. Thank you for this interview. It was great! By the way, does he still have the sweater and/or the jacket?
So happy you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed doing it. Paul is a special multi-talented guy who really cares. I have had others subscribers buy the book as well. I don't know if he kept the sweater or jacket but that would be cool if he did!
For 80 years old, the man looks 50.
He really does and is as open as a book, very kind!😀
@@ThatsClassicTV I was thinking the same thing. Super down to earth. I was really struck by what you both agreed on 'if you have an opinion as an actor, you are labeled difficult. I was wondering has that gotten better with time or the same? Thanks!
@@JackKirbyFan To my knowledge that opinion of an actor has not changed unfortunately.
Paul did an awesome directing the episode Deckwatch. Ì have never seen a director be z able to have two conversations going on at the same time. That amazed me so much. This is also the episode he was telling you about with the grandm & granddaughter & Hutch was the paramedic.
Thanks Barbara, that is super cool😀
@@ThatsClassicTV You are very welcome! Too bad you can't do a Zoom interview with Paul & David together & classic fans could join in. Just a thought.
@barbarabrusatori8585 Would love it but much harder than you might imagine.
@ThatsClassicTV I understand. Today is David Soul's/Hutch's Birthday.
Also good in Fiddler on the Roof !
He talks about playing in Fiddler in the interview😀
That's awesome, My Mother named me after him. Except what she did is make my first name Michael and my middle name Paul. But when she named me she was thinking about him. 😊💖
Ok, that is pretty cool! He is an interesting guy who has been through a lot but has such a kind energy.
That was beautiful…
So glad you enjoyed the interview😀Paul is just a very special guy and really talks from the heart.
@@ThatsClassicTV Thank you for the lovely reply. After suffering a recent bereavement his words gave me great comfort.
@asoncsm101 Happy to hear that.
RIP David Soul…You will be missed 😞
David and Paul were just one of a kind😀
@@ThatsClassicTV Yes, they certainly were… I’ve been binging the series again since I learned of David’s passing and rediscovering why I loved this series so much growing up❤️
Dude !
Paul Michael Glaser is great dude!
I really like the sweater he wore on S and H. Looked good on him. And the jeans too. I had a crush on hutch I was 16 when the show came on. I'am 66. Don't have a crush on them anymore. Last I saw of David he walked with a cane. Sad.
The sweater is iconic that is for sure. I think you are one of many women who had a crush on Starsky and Hutch😀That is tough if David has a cane now but it’s great he is still with us👍
R.I.P 🕊 David
Definitely a big loss😀
would love to find his books
You can definitely find them. I have only heard great things!
Thank you great pod cast I grew up in the 1970 watching S&H love Paul and David that show was loved by everyone young and old back then it’s amazing how the things you don’t want too do is the thing that makes you famous the episode off S&H with Kathleen Harold paul is referring too is called deck watch from season no. 3 I think it was the last episode for that season some off the best S&H episodes are the ones Paul directed there the best in the entire series blood bath season no.2 ,class in crime season no.3 deck watch season 3 ballad for a blue lady season no. 4 and the final episode off the series sweet revenge season no,4 which is the conclusion off the 3 part episode targets with out a badge season .4 if you watch the pilot episode off starsky & hutch when Paul and David are in the bar talking too fat Rally played by micheal Lerner Paul is eating peanuts from a dish on the bar as he said that’s how he auditioned for the part .I have never understood why the cardigan sweater was sow iconic he only wore it in the pilot and twice in the first season .the brown leather jacket he wore fron the second season till the final episode is more iconic too me because it must have been comfortable as he wore it the most on the show.✌🏿again great interview
First of all, thank you, it was a pleasure to do the interview. Love your breakdown of all the episodes. Now I need to go back and watch all of those for sure. I think the sweater just seemed so natural for him and maybe that is why it sticks plus it was unique. I still also think of him in the brown leather coat as well. All around it brought back so many great memories for me as well😀
Yes, those were the best episodes. David also directed Survival, Huggy Can't Go Home & one other. I ved hw Paul had 2 conversations going on at the same time in Deckwatch. Also, Sweet Revenge was awesome, especially the tag scene. I loved how Paul laid on David so he couldn't get away & the sweet way David looked at Paul when the water broke.
Im sure he directed Arnie in running man
He talks about that in the interview I believe.
BRING THEM BACK. ONE IS A DETECTIVE, THE OTHER IS RETIRED BUT GETS ROPED IN TO HELP. HUGGY STILL HAS THE WORD ON THE STREET, AND THERE IS ROOM FOR ME TOO ❤
I love it Jackie and wish it could happen!😀
unfortunately that will never happen now R.I.P. David Soul 😥😥@@ThatsClassicTV
@@skc835 So hard to take, all the best to David's family as they deal with his passing.
He had a small part in Butterfly’s Are Free with Goldie Hawn 🤟
Not sure I knew that.
Forgot about that one
❤🎉😊🎉❤
A landmark show. The fashions, The cars. The Time. I often wonder if Paul knows what a time capsule Starsky and Hutch was.
Starsky and Hutch really was. It is still cool and think Paul understands😀
@@ThatsClassicTV that he and David are such good Friends is great.
@@roquefortfiles It is awesome they are great friends and care about each other.
