From Paul: "I've never had a relationship with a man as close as the one I have with Davey . . . Normally you put two actors together—two strong egos—co-starring in a series and about the best you could hope for is that they will tolerate one another. But Davey and I have a very special thing going."

From David: "I love him," says David Soul . . . "I respect his talent and his craft, but it's very hard to put my finger on the way I feel about him, and he has the same frustration trying to talk about me. I feel kind of private with Paul, even on the screen. We understand each other, we have a very special kind of communication, and that's the joy of working with him. . . ."

More from David: "Starsky & Hutch is listed as a 'crime drama'," says David, "but in my opinion, the show is a love story between two men. If I love somebody, I'm not ashamed of it. People can watch and think that it's sure nice to see somebody caring about somebody like that—unabashedly."
