Bernie Hamilton, the actor who played the no-nonsense police captain on the 1970s TV series “Starsky and Hutch,” has passed away. He was 80.
His son, Raoul Hamilton, said his father died of cardiac arrest Tuesday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Hamilton appeared in more than 20 films, including “The Young One,” “The Devil at 4 O’Clock,” “Synanon,” “The Swimmer,” “Walk the Walk” and “The Organization.”
