Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire David soul dead

The character was "Red Astrachan," or something like that, IIRC.

RIP, Hutch.

He played the character who chased Dirty Harry up on the Aircraft Carrier that was waiting to be scrapped at the end of the movie. He drove off the carrier and landed in San Fran Bay, and was floating face down in the water IIRC.

I think so, he could play villain and good guy.

I enjoyed some of the movies he played in...In the line of duty was a good one R.I.P David.

Hard to believe all these young folks from my formative years are in their eighties.

Partsman;
No big story, but his family lived next door when I was a kid. His brother Dan was a friend. David was a budding actor back then. Their last name was Solberg. I think his dad was a professor at the time. They were good people as I remember them.

I lost track of my friend Dan over the years.

RIP, David

Yes, I think he would have been cool to hang with.

Bump

Maybe I am not recalling things correctly. Honestly, I have a hard time remembering a lot of those old movies.

I must try to remember that my memory is not what it used to be.

Huggy still alive

A tall, lanky and twinkle-eyed African-American actor with wonderful onscreen charisma, Antonio Fargas has been appearing on stage and screen for nearly 60 years as of 2021. His film debut was in Shirley Clarke's The Cool World (1963), a gritty, uncompromising tale about African-American youth growing up in Harlem, New York. He then made his acting presence felt in many "blaxploitation" films of the early 1970s, including the classic Shaft (1971), the Mafia flick Across 110th Street (1972), the ultra-violent Pam Grier vehicle Foxy Brown (1974) and the classic tale of Huckleberry Finn (1975).

Around this time ABC-TV executives were looking for a capable actor to play the role of golden-hearted street informant "Huggy Bear" on Starsky and Hutch (1975), and Fargas scored the role with which he is most closely identified. His career continued to flourish after "Starsky and Hutch" wrapped up after four years, and he has appeared in over 50 movies to date, many TV shows and numerous stage productions. He has played a 90-year-old witch doctor in "The Great White Hope", was in Melvin Van Peebles' "Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death", and appeared in productions of "The Rainmaker", "The Emperor Jones" and "Dream on Monkey Mountain". A strong advocate of the strength and diversity of African-American culture, Fargas holds positions on the boards of Rhode Island's Langston Hughes Center for the Arts and The Martin Luther King Center of Newport.

Bump for the evening crowd.

He was pretty good in "Salem's Lot". Spooky movie. RIP.

He was in the old Salem’s Lot movie. That movie scared the living chit out of me as a young kid.

He was awesome, the world will miss his great work.

He was pretty too.

Sweet or Davis i think?... i forget which...

Bump for the early risers.

Bump for the people who only log in on the weekends.
