Fans of the iconic police drama of the early 1970s Adam-12 were recently treated to a nostalgic perception of one of the most important stars of the show in Los Angeles.
At 80 the actor saw shopping in a Staples store.
The afternoon message was far away from the days of filming scenes that patrol the streets of the city next to Martin Milner's officer Pete Malloy.
While he is casually dressed in a black coverall and handkerchief, his relaxed look worlds was removed from the iconic police uniform that he was wearing seven seasons, praised in a series because of his realistic representation of police work.
It was also a stark contrast with his earlier role in the Ozzie and Harriet show, where he played the brother's brother of the character of Ricky Nelson, while he was good friends with Ricky in real life.
