ChiPs star Erik Estrada filming in Atlanta

Erik Estrada, best known as one half of the 'CHiPs' duo back in the day, is here in Atlanta filming what's been described to our Buzz blog as a B-movie.

A very hairy Erik Estrada. These photos come to us courtesy of Joel Darby, a partner at The Fur Bus, which is sort of fitting, given the shaggy stuff stuck to Estrada's face.

Buzz hears that this project is called 'Hillbilly Highway', but we haven't been able to shake loose any details. (Thanks to the blog responders and e-mailers for this detail!)

Anyone know more about 'Hillbilly Highway'? Who knows, maybe they will have a screening of it here to celebrate when it is ready to roll. Although, somehow we're thinking this has that straight-to-DVD feel to it..

Filming took place at The Pool Hall in Buckhead.

Estrada poses with The Pool Hall's John John Delladonna.

Estrada has been staying busy in recent years as an infomericial pitchman and reality television participant.

According to his Web site it looks like he is also hawking Butterfingers candy bars.

Estrada began his acting career by starring in a Fritos commercial as the Mexican "Frito Bandito".

Estrada later became known for his work in Spanish language telenovelas, and in more recent years, his appearances in reality television shows and infomercials and as a regular voice on the Cartoon Network show 'Sealab 2021'.
