Robert Pine joins our CHiPs Reunion at Retro Con 2025!
Look alive, the Sarge is coming to town! Just added to our CHiPs reunion at Retro Con 2025 is esteemed actor Robert Pine!
Robert is best known for playing Ponch and Jon’s no-nonsense supervisor Sgt. Joe Getraer on the late 70’s/early 80’s television staple CHiPs! He played “Sarge” in all 6 seasons of the original show, and would reprise the character in the late 90’s tv movie CHiPs ’99, now as CHP Commissioner. While often appearing strict on his officers, particularly the impulsive Ponch, he was also shown to be a caring and supportive leader, and displayed clear concern when they were in trouble.
Robert has appeared in too many tv shows and movies to list, but some notables include Independence Day, Empire of the Ants, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Quantum Leap, MacGyver, Magnum PI, ALF, Knight Rider, The Love Boat, Gunsmoke, Lost in Space, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, the Office, Castle, Parks and Recreation, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and numerous Hallmark channel originals!
The CHP’s finest are looking forward to meeting you! Robert Pine joins his CHiPs co-stars Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox at Retro Con, September 6th & 7th at the Greater Philly Expo Center in Oaks, PA! Autographs, tables photos, and pro photos (with all three actors) will all be available! The trio will also be having a Q&A panel on Sunday!
And lastly, the CHiPs cast’s representative at the show (Jodi Ritzen) will also be hosting two post-convention special events with the trio the same weekend of the show! More info can be found on her website:
Meet Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox at Retro Con 2025!
The California Highway Patrol’s finest are heading out of their jurisdiction! Meet Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox at Retro Con 2025, September 6th & 7th in Oaks, PA!
Erik and Larry are best known for playing the iconic motorcycle cop duo of Ponch and Jon on the late 70’s/early 80’s television staple “CHiPs”! The show follows the exploits of our two California Highway Patrol officers as they ride the Los Angeles freeways, dealing with traffic violators, stranded motorists, criminal activity, and some seriously off-the-wall situations. Not to mention a glorious amount of crowd-pleasing, high-octane car and motorcycle crashes!
With a charming mix of crime drama, action, colorful characters, old school stunt work, off-beat humor, and an unforgettable theme song, CHiPs remains a nostalgic and fondly remembered tv show from yesteryear. If you haven’t seen the show in awhile, give it a re-watch, and then meet the stars at Retro Con 2025!!
