Loved him on Chips and still do. Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Estrada last year at Comic Con. I saw in person why he is so lovable.
Hey Janet. My wife now has the same thoughts on Mr. Estrada after meeting him. Thanks for stopping by.
Saw this link on a Facebook page, so I came to this website which I had never heard of before. I “discovered” Erik from his supporting role in the 1974 disaster epic Airport 1975. After that it seemed he was on every television show I watched. Usually in one episode arcs. It was when he became on star on Chips that I finally connected a name to all those pre Chip roles. Lots of information on his movie career. I must admit I was not aware he had appeared in so many movies.
Hey Michael. Glad you were able to find out website. Kudos for spotting Erik Estrada before the nation did. I sort of have the same story with Bruce Willis. He was in my town for a show off off off off Broadway. I remembered him when it got Moonlighting. That created a lifetime fandom for Mr. Willis. Thanks for the comment.
Chips was my favorite show as a kid. He seems to be a good guy too.
Hey Hadden. Chips was a must watch show for me too. I appreciate you commented on my Erik Estrada page.
