I've always loved Michael Cole...watched every episode of The Mod Squad & had such a huge crush on him. To this day I watch the reruns and it takes me back to a wonderful time in my life.
same here, his smile :) oh just everything about him , still after almost 50yrs ,just seeing him makes me smile
Watching a two day marathon now on Decades. What a handsome man he was. Good actor also.
Same! I was 11 in 1972 and would always watch Mod Squad reruns after school. I had a HUGE crush on him (and still do😬)
@@bibber123 amen!
wow....no comments?? Michael Cole is a trailblazer in television history during the latter part of the 20th century, the book is extremely well crafted and very informative. The cast Mod Squad was very special in terms of chemistry, and, together with Peggy Clarence and Tige made a show that will live on. Thanks Mr. Cole for the five seasons of the best entertainment of the late '60's and 70's.
agree..great actor, my favorite show in the 60's and 70's, wish him well and thx for all the joy
Can't forget Clarence Williams III/Linc. Very important role that he played.
I think The mod squad saved a lot of lives because everywhere across America there was only like 10 stations from 2 to 12:00 back when I was growing up at that time when The mod squad was on you could only watch eight different stations and across the United States from Pennsylvania across to California everybody watch the same movies rather it was The Partridge family The Brady bunch The mod squad get smart movies like that Sanford and son we all saw the same things so the kids rather Black or White watching it saw the relationship between Pete and Link in the movie mod squad which would be Michael Cole and Clarence Williams III I think it it helped a lot of people to deal with prejudice at that time and not to be so down on each other and I think it saved a lot of lives
michael is my all time heart throb........blessing him with many more years to come .
Nobody could play PETE COCHRAN but MICHAEL COLE . Not an easy character to play in a series .PETE was an anti-establishment, rich kid reject - with a hot temper and short fuse. He was also a gentle, compassionate, soulish type guy that cared for hurting people.
So glad to see Michael Cole. Grew up just in love with him on The Mod Squad. Still catch reruns when I can. God blessed him with a good woman to take care of him.
Watching now on Decades. Two day marathon. Love Michael. So handsome. Good actor also.
Michael you came on the scene in the "Movie Industry" back in the day that whenever we the viewers watched something on television it carried a real meaning just as you did through the hit series of "THE MOD SQUAD" my was it fulfilling for the entertainment that it was thank you. My friend as I set and listen at you through this interview I see that you have come through some personal struggles of your own in life even as you pursued your career but you survived them all through the grace of God and it's a testimony to others that's in the situation that you were in, praise God I commend you and your deliverance!!!! Michael keep being the grand achiever and spectacular trendsetter that you are because other folk are depending on your influenicial persuasion to help enhance them and their lives for the better. God bless you from your sister in Christ in Hammond, LA.
I regret that it took me this long to find this. Michael Cole seems like such an honest man, and I loved hearing you guys talk. I’ve become infatuated with the Mod Squad and it’s become something that I resonate with. It’s great to know the actors and actresses behind the characters are just as lovable
I had a HUGE crush on him when I was 12-13 years old in 1973-74. I would watch re-runs of Mod Squad right after The Mike Douglas Show every day after school. I wished I was Julie so I could be with him😆
Congratulations to a great person wonderful person really I dug this guy when he was younger no one could hold a candle to this guy once he was so so handsome oooh boy he was so soo Sexy but God bless him
I remember this guy being a heartthrob to most of the girls I went to school with
He is the only one left now. RiP to Peggy, Tige and Clarence. Thanks for the memories.
Bought the full Mod Squad series just to see that face over and over again. Never missed it when it was on tv. Still a handsome guy. I envy Shelly.
This guy equals awesome
Michael and Tige Andrews won a car for my classmate on Celebrity Bowling
They set the all time one day highest celebrity score record with a combined 266. Michael Cole bowled like a PROFESSIONAL that day! I believe that was Cole’s only appearance in Celebrity Bowling, as he was probably deemed too proficient for any competition.
My girlfriend and I are binge watching The Mod Squad box set. I haven't seen it since it originally aired. The writing (and acting!) is really superb. We'll watch an episode and then yak and yak about the various social issues being addressed, the character development and of course the Paramount shooting location in Malibu Creek State Park, where "Alias Smith and Jones" and "MASH" were also shot.
I remember the movie "The Last Child",great movie. Always enjoyed his character,Pete Cochran on Mod Squad. Amazing to think It's been so long! Thought he & Tige Andrews were the most natural of the series. Still love him
He is. So inspiring..
This guy Michael Cole that played in The mod squad as Pete he and Link that was played by Clarence Williams III they don't know how many lives they actually saved because white and black people white and black kids watch this movie and because their relationship on the film was so good and how they work together I think it saved a lot of lives in real life where white and black people got along better and helped the young kids of that time that were born in the '60s watching mod squad in the 70s and even some that were born in the late 50s I think it helped their life to grow and not be prejudiced and probably saved a lot of lives were black people didn't lash out at the white people for picking on them or saying things to him and were white people might not have said as many things as other white people would say that didn't see the movie because that movie broke a lot of barriers of different things and the prejudice of that time and that that age and that's genre and to this day I feel that if people would watch those episodes I know that they're kind of missing some of the excitement that movies having them today because you know that was 50 years ago when they didn't you know certain things were censored and not allowed were today anything goes but I think they saved a lot of lives
Even decades later, Henry Bowers and Pennywise are best played in a 100 miniseries by the same actors.
