Jess Harper + Assorted Text Posts (Part 2)

David Soul as Detective Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson and Paul Michael Glaser as Detective Dave Starsky in the groundbreaking and progressive for the era lgbtq+ themed episode of Starsky & Hutch entitled Death in a Different Place, originally broadcast by ABC on October 15th, 1977. During an interview with the Television Academy recorded on August 6th, 2014, Paul Michael Glaser discussed the close relationship he developed with his co-star David Soul: "My chemistry with David, interestingly enough, was very much about what happened in front of the camera. Off-camera we didn't have a whole lot to talk about. We'd see each other at a party, 'hey, how are you?', 'fine, how are you?', 'fine', and there was nothing more to talk about. It wasn't that there wasn't anything there, it's that I don't think either of us felt comfortable talking about it. And then the years went by and the last few years, when you've had a relationship that's existed that long, you can't help but to really care and love that person. David and I have become much more comfortable with understanding and acknowledging our feelings. At the time it was probably more difficult, but when we got on camera, it was all there. It was really interesting. We were kinda joined at the hip, so as uncomfortable as we might've been as younger men with our feelings, we weren't uncomfortable with them in front of the camera. We were joined in this destiny, we were joined to do the best we could possibly do with the show." Paul later stated about Starsky & Hutch during an interview with The New York Post's Page Six in 2021: “I think it’s important to understand that yeah, there’s homoerotic elements. I think the reality is David and I are for the most part, if you have to define oneself, as straight. But you have to be able to recognize there’s a part of all of us that is homoerotic. We see someone of the same sex that’s attractive, we either deny it or acknowledge that it’s there. Does that mean we’re going to have a homosexual relationship with that person? Not necessarily, but it becomes much more freeing to be able to acknowledge something that exists, maybe kid about it, play with it a little bit and move on. One thing David and I had and still have is a very deep friendship.”

S1 Ep 6 - The Lawbreakers

Just was born in a brothel.

His mom was a saloon girl.

He's been selling cock and ass to older Cowboys for a very long time now. Naturally, all of that is pretty much left out of the series. There are tell tale signs if you're paying attention. All those now old men keep coming up from his past. Jess is a bad boy player born on the wrong side of the bed sheets, and looking to make up for lost time.

This is the first story in the series called... LARAMIE-X

This is part one of Jess' Jailhouse Cock Blues

Thank you, @sportstudfan, for this GIF! When Jess is chasing the thief in Mexico, he ends up jumping from the balcony onto his horse to catch up with him.

And for those curious, yes, Robert Fuller actually did this stunt! I have confirmation from the man himself. 🤠
