As the show that put Hirsch permanently on the pop cultural map, “Taxi†was a unique sitcom that successfully blended a unique ensemble cast together to experience the blue collar ups-and-downs of life in Manhattan. Already in his forties when the show debuted, Hirsch’s Alex Reiger was a tragicomic figure, having lost his wife and custody of his daughter to a gambling addiction. Reiger comes to accept his lot in life as a taxi driver, standing in stark contrast to his young, energetic colleagues – including Jeff Conaway, Marilu Henner and Tony Danza – all of whom feel that they are simply driving cabs for the short term. Hirsch’s interpretation of Reiger was met with almost universal acclaim – he received five consecutive Emmy nominations as Best Actor, starting in 1979 and snagging the esteemed award twice, first in 1981 and then in 1983.
