I happened to catch Star Trek’s Chris Pine on Letterman the other night and during his amiable segment, he mentioned that he comes from a showbiz family: Both of his parents were actors, as was his grandmother — who, apparently, was hot enough to be painted on the fuselage of at least one WWII bomber. In passing, he mentioned that his dad was on CHiPs, and then it clicked: Chris’ dad was Robert Pine, Jon and Ponch’s stalwart sergeant, Joseph Getraer.
If this family is good for nothing else, they turn out men who look damned good in a uniform.
Am I the only one who didn’t know this already?

Hello,
I am EXTREMELY interested in the new Star Trek…simply because of one actor…Chris Pine. I am a native of Lawrence, Kansas, and am only interested if he is related to me in ANY way.
The name “Pine” is English and arrived as early as everyone else did in ‘colonial’ America. We started in ‘New England’ and spread to Kansas and as far as now California.
I currently live in Dunn, North Carolina with my Wife and two children.
Please let me know if there is anyplace that I may start in locating Chris Pine and Derrick Pines relationship….
Thanx
Derrick Pine
