[@dianeleahy4970]

What a great interview! I loved watching “Starsky & Hutch”! I loved the car, too!

[@deespence8629]

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!

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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😀

[@pacesetterbyyou]

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

@@pacesetterbyyou So glad it brought such wonderful memories in Aussie! Love it.

[@lisawicks8205]

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

@@lisawicks8205%22 It is so awesome to think back to those memories isn't it! It was my favorite as well

[@theambitlady]

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. ❤❤❤

[@ThatsClassicTV]

What is cool is in later years they were close again in real life.😀

R.I.P David Soul.......Loved Starsky and Hutch as a Kid in the 70's

[@ThatsClassicTV]

This is a very sad day for Starsky and Hutch fans. My heart goes out to David’s family❤️

[@bmepdoc9675]

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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❤️

[@joycegibbs5267]

wonderful story. You can tell he's a good man !!

[@jackiestewart3651]

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

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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.❤️

[@valwynnwilliamsrvt4936]

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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❤️

He really does and his spirit on life is so uplifting too😀

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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😀

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.😊

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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❤️

[@sallysampson628]

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. 🥰🙏🏻

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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.

[@Saartje05]

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.

Paul was the nicest director I ever worked with.

Love hearing that, what did you work with him on?

[@briggscharleton6139]

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

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.

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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!

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

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😀

[@1802Sacha]

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

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. D.A. Winter, 2024

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.

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.

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!

[@scds1082]

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.

[@ThatsClassicTV]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. Paul is just an amazing guy😀

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..:)

[@suzannepond8679]

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 .

[@ThatsClassicTV]

Just an amazing show and the two of them were just naturals. Thanks for all your insight and love the UK!

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
