Oracle of DelphiStarsky And Hutch's Bernie Hamilton Dies
January 2nd 2009 13:40
Bernie Hamilton, who played by-the-numbers boss Captain Harold Dobey on the classic 1970s cop drama, Starsky and Hutch, died Tuesday night at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He suffered cardiac arrest. He was 80.
As a young actor, Hamilton made his big-screen debut in the 1950 biopic The Jackie Robinson Story, before taking over the role of Chaka in the 1960s TV series Tarzan.
While his tube resume would eventually include guest roles on The Twilight Zone, Ironside, All in the Family, Sanford and Son and The Love Boat, Hamilton earned his share of TV land immortality as the superior officer on Aaron Spelling's Starsky & Hutch opposite stars David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser.
Funeral services are set for Jan 8.
