From pop stardom to public service

Sherman’s big break came after he was discovered at a party by Sal Mineo, where Jane Fonda and Natalie Wood heard him sing. They helped him land a gig as a house singer on ABC’s Shindig! 

That eventually led to his breakout acting role in Here Comes the Brides, where his popularity skyrocketed. Despite continued musical success and appearances on shows like Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, and Frasier, Sherman made a dramatic shift in the 1970s. 

After a guest appearance on Emergency! In 1974, he chose to leave entertainment and became a technical reserve police officer and EMT with the Los Angeles Police Department, Billboard reported. In 1999, he was named LAPD Reserve Officer of the Year. “Bobby gave his all to public service. It was a labor of love for him,” Poublon told Fox News.
