About this photograph.

This is the American actor Antonio Juan Fargas, whom is famous for playing the role of Huggy Bear in the 1970s US television police series Starsky & Hutch.

I took those photographs with my Nikon D1 DSLR, because at that time, I did not have the D200 until some years later.

Here, in the photographs, he is seen posing inside a replica of a Ford Gran Torino, painted in bright red, with white strips, at the fan convention, for the official and press photographers.

Antonio was born in New York, on 14 August 1946, and is one of the 11 children, his father was from Puerto Rico and his mother was from Trinidad and Tobago.

He grew up in East Harlem parts of New York, and his first uncredited debut was in a 1963 movie, then went on to act in at least 50 movies and at least 40 television shows.

His most famous acting role was in Starsky & Hutch, as Huggy Bear the streetwise bar owner, and informant for the two detective, often wearing flashy outfits. He starred in all 92 episodes of the 4 season series.

His son, Justin Fargas is a former NFL player for the Oaklands Raiders.

About the event.

Memorabilia.

Memorabilia was a British fan convention, that started in 1994, aimed for the collectors of movies, television, and sporting memorabilia. It included celebrity signing autographs and fans in cosplay.

It later became a sister event to the MCM London Comic Con. In 2008, MCM Expo Group bought it and it went through changes, until it folded into MCM’s London Comic Con.

Starsky & Hutch.

Starsky & Hutch is a 1970s American television police action series, in the old days, was called a cop show. It lasted four seasons between 1975 to 1979, and was a very highly popular show.

The plot is about two streetwise detectives in the fictional location known as Bay City, and going around in Starsky’s red Ford Gran Torino with white strips, solving crimes, often with the help of Huggy Bear providing useful information.

Ford Gran Torino.

The Ford Torino started life in 1968 , and there were three generations, the last one in 1976.

Four cars were used during the filming of Starsky & Hutch, mostly for stunt work, long and wide shots, and close up shots.

The car was nicknamed as The Stripped Tomato, once mentioned by the character Hutch in the series, and often mentioned by the fans in real life. The nickname came from the actor Paul Michael Glaser.
