Smokey Robinson Joins The Police Force

What a surprise to find on this episode of the old tv show, "Police Story", Smokey Robinson playing new police recruit. The episode is titled, "They Wyatt Earp Syndrome" from 1974. Smokey does a good job. Pics aren't the best quality- taken with my phone.

Yes I thought he held his own amongst the other actors on the show. Some people who aren't actors make the mistake of overacting but Smokey was very natural.

I never knew that Smokey Robinson played a role on Police Story! Thanks to WWLFAC for sharing the information [[and the pictures from the show).

Lol. It really was such a fluke finding this. Just recently added this show to my DRV list. Never watched it as a kid but it looked interesting. Now I'm super glad I did!
