Probably remembered by my generation for Star of Starsky and Hutch and Salem's Lot TV series in the 1970s.

He also stared in the Magnum Force, part of the Dirty Harry series of films.

He had a singing career with some hit singles, "Don't give up on us baby," was a big hit.

Silver Lady was played every Friday night at my local community centre when the world of disco hit small-town Scotland in 1978.

He was in Star Trek TOS too as a teen in the episode The Apple as an early advocate of single bite computers:
Pic? I remember the episode, but not all of the faces.

Hopefully he was not wearing a red shirt -- that would have been a short appearance... :wink:
