Actor David Soul, best known for his role in the television series Starsky & Hutch, has died at the age of 80.
His wife, Helen Snell said he died on Thursday "after a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family".
"He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend," she said.
"His smile, laughter and passion for life will be remembered by the many whose lives he has touched."
The US-born actor was best known for his role as Detective Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchinson in the classic crime-solving series Starsky & Hutch.
He starred opposite Paul Michael Glaser in the series, which ran from 1975 to 1979. He and Glaser reprised their roles in the 2004 remake Starsky & Hutch, starring Ben Stiller as Starsky and Owen Wilson as Hutch.
Stiller paid tribute to Soul by reposting a clip from the original TV series on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by the message: "Defining 70's cool. Rest in peace x."

RIP
A bad cop in Dirty Harry.
Bad husband too.
David Soul is pushed by his former co-star, Paul Michael Glaser.
I just checked, and confirmed, that he was also in “Here Come the Brides” with Bobby Sherman, who my sister was a fan of as a pre-teen. I was never quite sure if it was the same actor.
True. And it gets us all.
why was he a bad husband?
He’s banging his car into trash cans in the sky now.
5 times.................
I remember him from the series, “Here Come The Brides”. He was a cutie.
Whenever ‘Starsky & Hutch’ is mentioned, that caris the first thing that comes to mind.
Landing on car roofs too.
Memory Eternal!
*why was he a bad husband?*
Wikipedia.
As I recall, he had a very public falling out with fellow Co-Star Paul Glaser over the domestic violence charges.
Glad it appears they reconciled later as per publicity pics together.
All the cardboard boxes finally caught up with him.
One could say that “He Gave Up On Us, Baby”.
I’ll go hide now.
Paul Glaser-he and his wife. She just had to lamblast the first Bush over their aids policies. It was pretty sick. The democrat convention-either ‘88 or ‘92.
He wasn't a one-hit wonder though as he followed that up with two more smashes:
"Going In With My Eyes Wide Open"
"Silver Lady"
How many remember those?
