- The Late David Soul on Irish TV in 1980
After the success of ‘Starsky and Hutch’ David Soul is optimistic about acting and television making the world a better place.
David Soul plays the role of detective Kenneth ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson alongside co-star Paul Michael Glaser as detective David Starsky in the popular television series ‘Starsky and Hutch’. He is in Ireland to film the ‘Manions of America’.
He’s a fine, handsome, hulk of a chap. Very personable and most amenable as well.
David Soul talks about his path to acting from early aspirations to be a professional baseball player and then a history teacher. He then arrived at a moment when theatre and music became the most important things to him.
I chose the theatre.
When he was first offered the role as Hutch in the series ‘Starsky and Hutch’, David Soul was far more interested in the purism of the theatre and was quite dismissive of television. Neither he nor his co-stars nor the producers thought the series would be so successful.
The success of ‘Starsky and Hutch’ has given David Soul a certain amount of what he calls “usable power” to do things that he wants to do. He believes that television has the power to be the single most powerful medium to bring people together. David Soul hopes that he can play his part in this process as an actor.
Gay admits apologetically that RTÉ never broadcast ‘Starsky and Hutch’.
The organization objected to it on the grounds of violence.
David Soul defends the depiction of violence because the characters of Starsky and Hutch were taking care of the bad for the greater good and the bad always lost.
We stepped on a lot of toes but I’m not so sure the toes we stepped on are the ones we’re concerned about.
This episode of The Late Late Show was broadcast on 6 December 1980. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
Very handsome man, had his pictures on my walk growing up and loved his songs rest in peace David ❤
Joan I liked him singing also.
Such an articulate intellectual fellow who was very kind and humble.
Well-spoken art.
Yes and he was allowed time to say what he wanted to say
A well done interview with David Soul. He was an intelligent, articulate man who didn't mind answering questions his way. God Bless you David Soul! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@NormaChassagne-fp3co Well said NormaChassagne also R.I.P Gay Byrne.
He did have a drink problem with made him violent to women.
RIP David Soul. A huge part of my childhood.
Mine also inter
A lovely human being, a great actor and a very nice singer. I loved Starsky and Hutch when I was growing up in the 1970s. They just don't make great shows like that anymore. God bless him and may his soul rest in peace. Thank you for the memories David.
True easy.
I agree . Never missed an episode . Watched it in my childhood.
Rest in peace David. It all went by so fast.
Amen Westfield.
R.I.P BEAUTIFUL MAN❤❤
So True Jane.
You never miss the well till the water runs dry and this man will be deeply missed such a wonderful human being RIP hutch you will never beforgotton
So True there Eamon
great speaking voice. Rest Soul
He sure had SIKE01.
Interesting and charming and clearly well ahead of many of his contemporaries in re of the Planet and talking about the huge issues which is everywhere today. David like everyone else had his own ' demons' and troubles but he talked honestly about them and came through the. David will be greatly missed but never ever forgotten ❤️
So true Sean.
Great interview by Gay. Two legends in their own fields rip
@@edmundpower1250 True Edmund.
Je suis totalement d'accord avec ce que vous dires. Je ressens exactement la même chose ❤
What a gentleman ❤🙏
So True Jose, also a great singer.
Lovely guy who turned his back on Hollywood’s corruption . RIP
Not many do cushy.
I've always loved David Soul 😢 I remembered swapping posters in school with friends for my bedroom wall. He was gorgeous! I all had his records ... The series he was in Salems lot was amazing!! Such a good actor and singer! He will be missed so much... RIP DAVID 🙏 ♥️
Also a Great singer Debby.
He was a great actor and singer and performer and was exactly as you see him on starsky & hutch a warm hearted and friendly person that had care and concern to his loyal fans and the public too 🤗
The original "masked singer": he was a handsome dude ,and he wanted to be known for his voice , so he covered up.
He was ahead of his time.
So True ian
Sincere and good guy. Sadly missed . R.I.P. Mr Soul.
Sadly Missed indeed hestonleemusic.
So sad to see David soul dying he was a good actor used to love Starkey and Hutch in the 1970s when I was a kid rest in peace you will be missed a lot
Sad Loss Martin.
One smart classy guy he'll be sorely missed
True Robert.
a lovely intelligent man . RIP
Amen, pal.
He is going to be sorely missed without a doubt.I don't think of him for the bad that everyone keeps bashing him for. I like his humble beginnings as the covered man then Joshua Bolt then ken Hutchinson and his debut album and salem's lot he produced some wonderful content.
Same Here Theasworld and Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood as Officer Davis.
Y porqué lo critican? Nadie es perfecto. Yo lo extraño muchísimo y no puedo creer que se haya ido...
@@rosario9339 True Rosario and no one person is perfect, thank you for the comment, Rosario. Take care and stay safe.

True Mirtagimenez.
Gone but not forgotten RIP David🙏🙏😢❤
Amen to that Michelle.
Good man
Spot on Eddie.
1:29 An alcoholic who turned around his life and dealt with his anger issues. Profusely sorry for the physical abuse he inflicted on his wife. Many others in the same situation continue that way with impunity. Takes some courage to do that.
Spot on Pat.
R.I.P. David, I remember this interview as a kid
Same here drone.
A true humanitarian and lovely person who was just a grate grate actor who was so so loved by so many people around the globe love u so much David and u are so so grately missed
So True Patrica.
My fave TV star as a kid.. great in Starsky & Hutch, equally great in Salems Lot. RIP buddy.
Salem's Lot for me Dirk and his singing.
Rest in peace 🕊️ David Soul 😢
Respects to David .
Same here giles.
❤per David soul non vi dimenticherò mai...mi dispiace che tu sia andato via
Sadly he will be Missed eliana.
What made him so likeable was his sincerity and openness. His early years were tough he’s talked about it in interviews but he knew his worth and kept going.
Ps I had two david soul posters on my wall it wasn’t just the girls lol😂 RIP David 😢
Sure did DJ.
Starsky & Hutch violent?? Compared with today’s fodder, it was a stroll in the park. I am currently watching reruns of the show and find it hilarious how they (well, Starsky) likes to slap the suspects around a bit. Will miss David Soul, he was my teen crush ❤
Irish TV back then djc, the funny thing is they showed Salem's Lot no Problem.
J'aime beaucoup cette interview. Un homme charmant vraiment, je pourrais l'entendre parler pendant des heures !! Il sera inoubliable et pour toujours dans nos coeurs 😭

❤😢🙏🏻💫 David Soul 2024... Forever!
Just loved him in starsky & hutch. Was lucky enough to meet him when he came to live in England. A very handsome, charming man
Nice one Jackie I met Johnny Depp Marilyn Manson, and his wife Dita Von Teese who just got married, Castle Gurteen de la Poer in Kilsheelan (County Tipperary), Ireland
I live about 12 12-minute drive away I rode Horses for a lovely family that lived side by side with the Castle, and also the late Lisa Marie Presley.
So glad I grew up with Starsky & Hutch in the 70’s.. sad too hear he passed away RIP David Soul ❤️
So sad Ricky.
Aww sad news. Rip David.
Loved him since I first saw him on S&H - I was five years old 💔😢🤍
Sugarblossom I loved Salem's Lot.
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 I suffered through that scary movie just to see David Soul! I didn’t sleep for the longest time after that ☺️ I thought his acting was superb in the FBI Murders.
@@sugarblossom3141 Spot on sugarblossom.The remake with James Lowe and Donald Sutherland Salem's Lot 2004 was Brilliant also here is the trailer for the Series www.imdb.com/video/vi3744580121/?playlistId=tt0355987&ref_=tt_ov_vi

Sooo articulate Loved you as a singer and in Salems Lot….rest easy ♥️
Same here Lafreeway the funny thing is RTE Showed Salem's Lot no problems.
I think he is the most handsome and good soul person. H e expresses his thoughts so well never get tired of watching all his interviews.
He was Lemoniagiotsa.
Was such a handsome man
mariawilson if only I had his Head I would be doing well thank you for the post.
He was a good guy
Amen to that Leespiderpod.
One cool dude was Mr Soul. 😎
So cool he could shit Ice Cubes' kthomas.
Grew up watching Starsky & Hutch, and from that lovely camaraderie between two men, I dreamed of a world where men were looked at, more like human beings instead of predators, dictators, rapists as the men of these days.
Well said Renen.
Very interesting interview. Violence of apathy is insightful. RIP.
True nomiddlenamen.
This was my childhood.
I was obsessed.
Totally in love with Starsky.
RIP Hutch X
For Me, Rebecca it was his singing and Salem's Lot
I spent many a hormone packed teenage day crying to his music 😁
Just listened again to "Going in with my eyes open".
His voice was beautiful.
@@rebeccawallace2553 He had a great voice, Rebecca.
Nobody ever mentions The Yellow Rose.Great series that showed late in evenings on BBC and only ran for a season,
Is that the one with Cybill Shepherd and Sam Elliott, Rohansrider
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 Yes.David Soul played Roy the brother of Chance Sam Elliot.
@@rohansrider If you think of it now we have Yellowstone with Kevin Costner
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I so miss these days.
Same here Staci.
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 🙂
thx 4 da upload, keep in mind, this was way b4 Rambo and Terminator ... but Starsky and Hutch did have more violence in their shows, than, let's say, columbo.
Spot on Luxdico good show all the same.
💔
I love how Gaybo introduces David Soul as directly from Starsky and Hutch but anyone living in Ireland at the time never actually saw Starsky and Hutch on television because I guess RTE couldn’t afford it
But we got Salem's lot no problem.
Rest in peace David
I love the Tricolour
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace David 😢
Amen Tracy.
I see a touch of gray hair on his left side, wow, didn't know he was older here. White Sox pitching prospect, amazing!!
Well spotted Dabneyoffermein💯
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 It was a great interview. RIP Gay Byrne
@@dabneyoffermein595 Spot on Dabneyoffermein I did like Gay on the Late Late Show.
My Ben Mears🌟
No way would I say Starsky & Hutch was over the top violent. Magnum Force, now that was
It was the 80s London as I said in another post RTE Showed Salem's.
Was great in Magnum Force (1973) with Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry Callahan 👏
Noelio67 I loved that movie with Clint and David was so cool, I loved it when Clint went to the shooting range and David Soul: Officer Davis just to get David empty shells. Thanks again Noelio67 for your post you take care now hope you will come back for more.
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 Cheers Billy 🍻 👍
Ireland was so backwards and gay asked ridiculous questions and David handled answered with intelligence and dignity ❤
RI P David Soul
Amen MB-zy4cm
A true All-American
True Duderino.
Love Him In FBI Murders, See How Great Versatile Actor He Was, In FBI Murders To Starkey And Hutch, Black Bean Soup, Anybody. Got Love The Style Hes Wearing In 80s
Great Post user-
My it was David for my sister and starsky for me
Thank you clarebell for your Post.
He loved that whiskey.
I do also Wayne.
Il y a à peine trempé les lèvres !
@@Nathalie-rl4ml True Nathalie with the Lovely Name.
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817😊
Hes only gone give him chance
David did genuinely love the drink. Youd see him drinking a few pints in the afternoon on his own in many an old pub around Kings Cross as long back as 1996. Mad to see it as he was such a massive star.
Nice one Scott I worked in Fulham in the 80s but I went back to Ireland to a Horse Racing Yard in 87 I lived 15 mins Drive from Ballydoyle Then Vincent O'Brien Yard now Aidan O'Brien no relation. Thank you for your Post Scott.
The Irish may have banned certain violences on tv, but with regard to imbibing a bit of the “hard stuff” as it is referred to here, there’s no problem. Whereas in the US the consuming of alcohol on talk shows, etc was banned, up until recently and violence has always been shown in a more gratuitous fashion on American tv.
Did not know that Timothy Thank you Timothy on the Funny Side R.T.E Showed Salem's Lot no problem
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 Really?! Mines just another perspective, is all. Now living in Europe ( Italy) I’ve developed another view of “ American life”.
By the way, I remember back in 1979 or 80 , inviting friends over to my parents home to watch Salem’s Lot. We, teenagers , thought it was so scary…. I guess now a days it would be considered rather tame, no?
Cheers and all the best for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!!
@@TimothyJonSarris Same here when the young lad came floating outside the window of his friends it scared the crap out of me. Timothy you and your Family and friends have a safe and Happy 2024 and here is an Irish Blessing
“May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace.
May your troubles grow few as your Irish blessings increase.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May your hands be forever clasped in friendship and your hearts joined forever in love.
Your lives are very special, and God has touched you in many ways.
May his blessings rest upon you and fill all your coming days.”
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817
Oh my, how beautiful….this brings tears to my eyes. Your thoughtfulness has caught me quite by surprise! I don’t know of any blessings/ sayings that equal those of the Irish people. I suppose that they come from your rich culture, forged in joy, faith and suffering which has stood the test of time. I can only respond with God bless and love you.
@@TimothyJonSarris And to you Timothy to you.
Of course he shaved his mustache after the season ended. I hated that mustache in season for of S&H
LOL s.t.3181
Everyone coughing
True Paulfitness.
He stated later in life that he had a very hard time as a struggling actor, to the point he turned to male prostitution.
Is that True Fazole, I find that a bit strange.
I didn't know Irish broadcaster Gay Byrne R.I.P. interview Starkey & Hutch star David Soul R.I.P.
I know the great Irish broadcaster Gay Byrne R.I.P. interviewed Dallas star Patrick duffy in 1986 but I can't find it.
john I will have a look and see if can get it for you.
It is not the one you want but here is Patrick Duffy visiting the Aran Islands to search for locations for a new film. www.rte.ie/archives/collections/news/21217136-patrick-duffy-visits-aran/
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 thanks 👍
I can't believe Gay Byrne said that R.T.E banned Starkey & Hutch. Common R.T.E. But then again we'll ban anything in this country.
@@johndoyle2429 But they showed Salem Lot before the BBC John.
Bryne was the same pretentious host that said he would never allow anyone that had or would consume booze on his show.
But at least he knows how to conduct an interview ; he listens properly and doesn't constantly interrupt.
I'm sure he meant someone who arrived intoxicated and boorish as a result. Wouldn't get too wound up about a drop of whiskey for his cold.
Poor sod is now dead ...
Gone to that Hollywood in the sky Carol Burke.
Terrible audience
It was Ireland in the 80s paul.
Wow David Soul in Irelan🇮🇪 he also came to Malta 🇲🇹 to shot some scenes for the movie called the fifth missile which he starred alongside Sam Waterston and that was an honour for the Maltese 😀👍🏻
I saw that Movie it was if I remember it was about submarine, on a training mission they started hallucinate on the sub.
