Johngy and Huggy Bear

In the 70's, Antonio Fargas played Huggy Bear on tc's Starsky and Hutch. The role of the street informant endeared Fargas to all of us and carved a future spot for him on the convention circuit.
Fargas has acted for over 40 years. He has appeared in a ton of tc shows as well as many motion pictures. However, Huggy Bear is the role to which he is forever linked.
Fargas is a favorite at conventions, because he is a cool guy. He's one of those people who just exude 'cool'. He is also very fan-friendly.
For the younger viewers out there, Fargas is the father of Justin Fargas, currently a running back with the Oakland Raiders.
