It’s been 35 years since TV’s Hunter ended but the beloved crime-fighting duo, played by Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer, still has that same chemistry when they reunited at the Hollywood Show on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026, and shared some behind the scenes stories of the series (1984-91). The duo will be at the Hollywood Show on Saturday, Jan. 10, as well, to sign autographs and pose with fans.

“I can remember times when we would laugh so hard that we couldn’t film,” Kramer shares. “Literally, we had to stop.”

Dryer laughed, while she continued, “We have so much footage of you completely losing it. And it was funny. … But this guy, which you don’t get to see too often, is an exceptionally funny man.”

Not taking himself too seriously, Dryer said that coming out of pro football, anybody who would hire him had to be a special person. He shared that he was admittedly a little reckless on how he chose to handle other people’s work when it came to challenging scripts but was able to work with the producers and directors (they had many) to get the series’ tone right.

Occasionally that meant breaking that third wall and adding in his own narration. “My nature is to goof off because after a while you can only be so serious so for just a sprinkle you got to break it because you’ve got an entire group of people, extras, everybody, waiting to see what you’re going to do with that,” he tells of his script translations and ad lib. “And so, we started goofing off.”

The laughs certainly were needed as the production schedule was beyond demanding, and the work was physically taxing. For a while they were working 20 hours a day only getting a few hours of sleep, until that incident.
