David Soul Wiki Biography

David Richard Solberg was born on the 28th of August 1943, in Maidstone, Chicago, Illinois USA. The American-British actor and singer is famously known for playing the role of Detective Kenneth Hutcherson in the TV series “Starsky & Hutch”.

So how rich is David Soul? Soul’s net worth as of early 2016 is reported to be $5 million, consisting mostly of his thriving acting and singing career spanning from the 1960’s until today.

Growing up, the Solberg family was always on the move due to Dr. Richard W. Solberg’s occupation, a Senior Representative for Lutheran World Relief, giving aid during the restoration of Germany after World War 2. Soul attended Augustana College, University of the Americas in Mexico City and the University of Minnesota and later on studied acting with the Irene Daly School of the Actors Company and with the Columbia Workshop in Hollywood.

In the 60’s, Soul’s career started in the TV industry, appearing in various shows but it was in the 70’s that his career and net worth took a turn for the better when he was cast in the TV series “Starsky and Hutch”, in the part of Detective Kenneth “Hutch” Hutcherson, one of the lead roles in the famed series. It ran for four successful seasons until it bid farewell in 1979.

Just when everybody thought that the actor couldn’t do more, Soul released an album, in 1976, with the single entitled “Don’t Give Up on Us”, surprising his fans all over the world. The hit song was followed by another favorite “Silver Lady”. The success of the two songs plus a couple more albums and singles increased Soul’s popularity and net worth.

During the 80’s Soul maintained his presence on television, but it was in 1988 when the actor once again wowed the world of entertainment in the TV film “In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders”, in the role of Michael Lee Platt, the murderer, which received great reviews.

Later on in his career, Soul found a new calling on stage. The well-rounded actor starred in stage plays such as “Comic Potential”, “Jerry Springer-The Opera”, “Love Letters” and “Mack and Mabel” to name a few. All added to his net worth.

Up until today, the actor has kept himself busy and his net worth consistent by appearing in several TV series, reality shows and even doing some commercials. Some of his recent appearances includes the movie entitled “Farewell” with Willem Dafoe, and the Scottish film “Filth”.

In his personal life, Soul has been married five times, firstly to Mirriam Russeth(1964-65), then in 1968, Soul married his co-star Karen Carlson from the series “Here Come the Brides” with whom he has a child, but they divorced in 1977.

In 1980 Soul married Patti Carnel Sherman, with whom he has three children, but their marriage fell on the rocks when Soul’s addiction to alcohol started to emerge, causing their marriage to end in 1986. A year after, he wed actress Julia Nickson, with whom he has one daughter, but they only lasted until 1993. Since 2010 Soul has been married to his fifth wife, Helen Snell.

David Soul Quotes

• Paul and I were both struggling actors. One night he would serve me in a restaurant, and the next night I would serve him. It was what out of work actors did.

• I went into acting because I had to make a good living. I had a child now and I had to support him any way I could… I wasn’t happy, but I wasn’t unhappy. I was just doing what I had to do to survive.

• Nobody teaches you to be a father. Nobody teaches you to be a husband. Nobody teaches you how to be a star. You have to learn to work with the tools.
