From Marine discipline to Lassie stunts to prime-time patrols, Larry Wilcox traces a career built on preparation. 🎬

Message me "CHIPS" and I'll DM you a link to the episode!

Larry explains how continuity turned into a superpower on set. CHP advisors taught procedures that kept the action honest—even when TV wanted fireworks. He handled the vast majority of the riding and left the bone-crunchers to the stunt pros.

The aftermath of a serious on-set crash is a reminder that leadership starts with calm.

You're in charge of the ChiPs reboot - what's your first storyline?

🚨 Patrol nostalgia with Larry Wilcox. He shares how CHP training shaped nearly all the on-camera riding and why tiny details like mounting, posture, and uniform made the action feel real.

Message me "CHIPS" and I'll DM you a link to the episode!

A wild towing-rig mishap became a lesson in humility. The hardest scenes weren’t always crashes; sometimes it was finding depth in a character week after week. The most human moment: responding when a colleague was badly hurt and choosing forgiveness later.

If CHiPs memories still hit you right in the feels, this one’s for you. Drop your favorite episode or moment below. 🏍️✨

A candid, nostalgic sit-down with Larry Wilcox traces the arc from Marine Corps vet and Beverly Hills acting student to character actor on Lassie and, ultimately, CHiPs’ John Baker.

Message me "CHIPS" and I'll DM you a link to the episode!

Larry shares how Lassie became a crash course in continuity and stunt work; why CHiPs was his “hardest” role and how he worked with California Highway Patrol advisors to keep the technical details real; and what CHP bike training looked like when he and Eric handled ~90% of the on-camera riding. The conversation turns vulnerable as he recounts Eric Estrada’s near-fatal set accident and the leadership, calm, and compassion required in that moment—and later, the choice to reconcile. Wilcox also opens up about producing wins and war stories (Ray Bradbury Theater, rights battles) and the new projects he’s chasing now.
