51. I had forgotten that! LOL!
I wonder what happened to the rest of the Sweathogs. We all know about John Travolta. He grew up to become a Scientologist.

30. Damn, beat me to it...
"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered; My life is my own".

For coolness, though, it's either:

Roger Moore or Tony Curtis in "The Persuaders"

Brodie in "The Professionals"

or the title character in an obscure sixties series called "Mr. Lucky".

I kinda thin Sipowicz (sp?) is cool.

Although McGavin was the antithesis of cool, the show was (cool), so some of it must have rubbed off.
