In his book he says it wasn't one of his best experiences, but if it wasn't for the show I might not have known what a great actor he is!
Check out his "Top Ten good things about winning an Academy Award" on David Letterman.
As to Airwolf, you can watch him in this rather well put together episode guide.

I know it wasn't his happiest time compared to say, McHale's Navy but I for one loved it and I've so much respect for the man.
A brilliant read, and what a life.
