Paul Michael Glaser made his film debut in Fiddler on the Roof before becoming a television icon as Detective Dave Starsky on Starsky & Hutch, a role he also wrote and directed episodes for. He moved into directing full-time afterward, helming the cult film The Cutting Edge and the box-office hit The Running Man, and took up painting later in life, with his first U.S. gallery exhibition in 2018.
