Erik Estrada – 72 – Reserve Police Officer

Most people from the 70s will always remember Erik Estrada from his credit role Frank Ponch Poncherello on the hit television show CHiPS. The show aired for six seasons, and after CHiPS, Estrada starred in an unprecedented amount of television shows and films. He managed to land spots in iconic television shows from the 80s and 90s like Hunter, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Baywatch, Martin, and The Wayan’s Bros, just to name a few. Without a doubt, Estrada is one of the most tenured actors in the industry, and he’s managed to accumulate a personal fortune of $4 million.

Today, Erik Estrada is 71, and he still manages to appear in a handful of television shows and films. Estrada also became a reserve police officer for a police department in Indiana and Idaho. Don’t be surprised if you’d see Ponch from CHiPS riding around town on his cop bike while in service as a reserve officer!
