"Trust me, I know what I'm doing" was David Rasche's (73) best known line in Sledge Hammer!. From 1986 to 1988, the comedy thriller series was revered for its comic scenes and audiences loved David's character, Sledge, who had an eccentric wardrobe to say the least, and who was often seen sporting striped shirts, flowered ties and plaid jackets. Almost 30 years have passed since the successful series ended and David Rasche still enjoys being in front of the camera.
