I’ve mentioned Erik Estrada before, when I learned he serves
as a reserve officer in the St. Anthony Idaho police force. (http://mombowe.blogspot.com/2016/08/cocks-comb.html)
In addition to time and talents, the actor contributes money and materials to
the agency. Last week his contribution included a German Shepherd/Malinois
narcotics dog. It makes me smile to know a guy who used to play a TV cop is now
a real one. It reminds me of the Disney movie Planes Fire and Rescue. One of
the characters in the film was an actor on a TV show until his costar was
accidentally killed and the show was cancelled. He went from saving lives on
television to saving lives for real. Estrada’s TV show was cancelled after 139
episodes when the actor was was seriously injured in a filming accident. At
first I thought it was art imitating life, until I realized Planes Fire and
Rescue came out in 2014. Estrada became an officer in 2016.
