Starsky and Hutch (he was Hutch).
Early-life:
Born David Richard Solberg on August 28, 1943, in Chicago. His mother was a teacher and his father was a Lutheran minister whose work on the reconstruction of Germany following the Second World War meant that the family moved around a lot. Soul later enrolled at the University of Minnesota, turning down a contract to play baseball in favour of studying political science. He supplemented his income with a job in a nightclub, singing folk songs and rock music. In 1967, he joined a North Dakota musical revue, and was spotted by a talent executive.

Soul made his movie debut in The Secret Sharer. He appeared on several TV shows, including I Dream Of Jeannie, Star Trek, Ironside, and Cannon, and had a role in Magnum Force before hitting the big time in 1975 when he was cast as Ken Hutchinson in Starsky and Hutch. The detective drama became a worldwide success and helped launch his pop career, which included several hits. He's since had roles in Salem's Lot, Holby City, Dalziel and Pascoe and Little Britain. He financed, produced and directed award-winning documentary The Fighting Ministers, then starred on the stage in Jerry Springer: The Opera. His most recent role was a cameo in the movie Filth.
Quote:
"There's not enough time to consider how life could have been different, it's just a pointless exercise. When you have an opportunity, just do it."
