ERIK ESTRADA – DEPUTY SHERIF

Erik Estrada achieved fame with his portrayal of a policeman in the popular police drama entitled CHIPS. But it was in the year 2009 when his portrayed character went into reality. He was chosen as a full-time deputy sheriff in Virginia and has been carrying out his duties of watching over the youth. Many believed that Erik gained inspiration from his character in Finding Faith, a film which relates the story of a teenager who gets kidnapped after an online date and went on to establish himself in his new career.

Well, at least he stayed away from bankruptcy, refinance, or payday loans all throughout. He is not the only actor who got inspired by the roles that they have played in movies or TV shows, but he is one of the few who decided to leave their acting career to pursue their characters’ professions. He is surely happily living out his TV life
