I've seen Erik Estrada on television many times over the years since Chips ended but whatever happened to Larry Wilcox? I don't think I've seen him once since then.

Larry has had 19 credited roles on television since leaving CHiPs. He also established "Wilcox Productions" which produced the TV series, "The Ray Bradbury Theater", and the TV movie, "Death of a Centerfold: The Dorothy Stratten Story".

In the mid-1990s Larry ran a pharmaceutical company called "Team Elite".

Today Larry continues running Wilcox Productions and is also president of MediaCore, a software company.

CHIPS is one of the best police shows ever.

The two motorcycle cops were so nice! It was a great show for making the public feel trusting of the police. Today, so many police series show the cops as people willing to plant evidence, take bribes, etc. I believe that's a very tiny percentage, don't you? I would think that most people drawn to that type of work would be people who want to protect innocent citizens from the bad guys. I hope I'm right!

If you're an Erik Estrada fan and a Police Woman fan, Erik guest-starred in the second season of Police Woman on the episode titled, "Don't Feed the Pigeons".

A lot of people seem to think that Erik's career died after CHiPs but that couldn't be further from the truth. He's had 75 acting credits since the series ended and is working pretty regularly to this day!

Yes I know...it's one of my FAVORITE eps of the series.

Yeah I agree...Erik's been pretty hot since CHiPs...and I think it's koo that he's now a cop...it's what he wanted to do before he became an actor.

Well, he's "kind of" a cop.

When he was on CBS's prematurely cancelled reality show "Armed & Famous", he earned the title of "reserve police officer" on the Muncie, Indiana police department. He has, however, taken it very seriously and even returned to Muncie for training that's required to keep that title.

and I think that is VERY koo.

esp because Erik ain't no spring chicken and becoming a cop is HARD work...my dad was a cop for 35 years.
