Kojak : Synopsis, Pictures, Photos, Trivia, Filming Locations

. Kojak's trademark lollypop was introduced as a cigarette substitute after Telly Savalas gave up smoking.

. The series was translated to Hungarian in the 1970s. The Actor, who gave his voice to Kojak, László Inke resembled Telly Savalas so much that a Hungarian movie was shot in which he actually played Kojak (the title is: Kojak Budapesten, and it was shot in 1980). While the original series is colored, the Hungarian film is black and white. Also, according to the plot of Kojak Budapesten, Kojak was born in Hungary, and had been a very clumsy cop before emigrating.
