Paul Michael Glaser

by Claire J Rottenberg


Paul Michael Glaser, best known as the Starsky half of the popular "Starsky and Hutch" TV show of the mid to late-1970s, began his professional career on Broadway in a comedy, "Butterflies Are Free" in 1969. Two years later, he had his first major film role in the musical, "Fiddler on the Roof." Although he did not sing in the edited, released version of the movie, he did dance in it and he sang in a scene that was cut from the final version of the film. He had one song, "Any Day Now," that is included as an extra feature on the special 2-disk DVD of "Fiddler on the Roof."
