Robert Pine

Robert Pine is exactly the sort of character actor I treasure. Born in New York in 1941, he became a fixture as Sgt. Joseph Getraer on CHiPs and has logged over 400 television episodes across a long, steady career. Leading men get the headlines, but it is craftsmen like Pine who give shows their texture and reliability. There is something deeply admirable about quietly showing up, decade after decade, in service of the story. He also raised a movie star in son Chris Pine. To me, his career is a quiet argument that durability and dependability are their own form of stardom.
