ERIK ESTRADA – DEPUTY SHERIFF
It is safe to say that Erik Estrada is one star who got attached to a character he’s played in the past. So attached, in fact, that he eventually became a sheriff in real life. Erick is one of the actors in the popular television show that centered on the lives of policemen, CHiPs. After the show ended, he got numerous offers to star in telenovelas, and he later worked as a voice actor on Adult Swim’s Sealab 2021. His work on ChiPs had an impact on Estrada’s life since he started working as a full-time deputy sheriff in Virginia back in 2009.
It looks like he lived the life of a good cop too well because he eventually became an anti-substance abuse advocate. He’s also become an influential figure for young people and has encouraged them to stay away from harmful substances. By doing this, he’s also helping teens steer away from bankruptcy, which is one of the consequences of substance abuse.
