One of the most celebrated films to come out of the 1980s was Beverly Hills Cop, and one of the biggest fan-favorite TV shows of the decade was Perfect Strangers. And while the movie and TV series were polar opposites in terms of subject matter, they did have one thing in common: lovable actor Bronson Pinchot.
His roles as Serge in Beverly Hills Cop and Balki Bartokomous on Perfect Strangers led him to super stardom, and everyone fell in love with his comedic charm.
Now 66 years old, Pinchot recently appeared on the Still Here Hollywood podcast, and he recalled how starring as Serge in Beverly Hills Cop led to him being a "same day sensation." At first glance, you might not realize this is the same actor!

♬ original sound - StillHereHollywoodWhat a great story! He really did go from being completely unknown to being one of the most recognized stars in Hollywood... in a matter of hours.
One person who viewed the clip said, "Love Bronson ❤️ He’s great in everything he does." It's just so true. He's such a natural.
In case you don't remember Serge or have never seen Beverly Hills Cop (gasp!), here's a fun clip for you. Pinchot had star written all over him as soon as this scene started.
As one commenter on the YouTube video so perfectly put it, "Every millisecond of Serge’s appearance is pure gold… the 'I’m fine' when not asked, the pauses, the accent, the looks… genius in action!"
Another added, "Pinchot KILLED in this scene. Not a wasted second and everything landed perfectly. No wonder it helped make him a star."
That leads us to the other role that captured everyone's hearts: Balki Bartokomous. I mean... who wouldn't fall in love with Balki?
Ahhh, the '80s. Today's movies and TV shows just can't quite compare.
