...the way the actors embody their characters is key to the appeal of the show, so in that sense we "need" the actors. IMO, [[Starsky and Hutch]] loved each other (whether or not one feels sex was involved) because [[Paul Michael Glaser|Paul]] and [[David Soul|David]] loved each other, and weren't afraid to say so. That said, do we "need" them to have a fandom? Not in my opinion. Years ago, I mentioned to someone at work something about SH cons. They asked if the actors ever came, no doubt thinking about the better-known Trek cons. I said that we really focused more on discussing the characters and episodes, blah blah, drop the subject and never bring it up again. Inside, my gut reaction was "NO! And we wouldn't want them to!" You get the ball rolling, guys; we'll take it from there. JMO. 8-) <ref> comment by [[Linda McGee]] at [[Zinelist]], quoted with permission (Oct 3, 2010) </ref>}}

I finally met David Soul at Collectormania London last year. He was very nice to me but told someone else he didn't like doing cons/events and was only doing it because he was out of work. So he probably wouldn't want to do the S&H cons any more than the fans would want him to. (And I totally understand how having an actor present would mean changing the topic of much fans' con conversations!) <ref> quoted anonymously from [[Zinelist]] (Oct 3, 2010) </ref>}}
