The series followed the employees of a New York City taxi cab company in the late 1970s and early 1980s which helped launch all of the actors into stardom.
Danny starred as the main antagonist, devilish dispatcher Louie De Palma, who spent his time holding court in the dispatch office in the garage where he frequently belittled and annoyed drivers.
Judd played Alex Reiger, the level-headed cabbie who everyone in the Sunshine Cab Company turns to, who is also the only driver who considers it his career, not just a temporary job like most others.
Tony played boxer and Vietnam veteran Tony Banta, who started working at Sunshine Cab after losing his boxing license.
Christopher played Reverend Jim Ignatowski, who was a guest star in the first season and upgraded to a main cast member throughout the rest of the show’s five season run.
He won two back-to-back Emmy Awards for playing the character in 1982 and 1983, and is considered one of the greatest TV characters of all time.
Carol played Simka Dahblitz-Gravas, who dated and ultimately married Latka (Andy Kaufman) on the show.
While Marilu portrayed single mother Elaine Nardo who aspired to be an artist.
