Don Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I loved watching the Dukes and got quite a few laughs from Roscoe and his antics. Thoughts and prayers to his family. . Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mynameismatt Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 He also served in WWII as a B-17 gunner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echolmberg Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I grew up watching him in the Dukes of Hazzard. I remember seeing him in an awesome episode of "The Twilight Zone". It was very different to see him in a non-goofy role and he was great in it. Sad news indeed. RIP, James Best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 As did Walter Matthau. TBH, I wouldn't know if Best's face if I saw it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Snap Captain Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Dukes was one of my favourite shows growing up. Sad news. He certainly left a mark in my memory as a goofy yet lovable character. Edited April 7, 2015 by Crazy Snap Captain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 As did Walter Matthau... Um, do you mean Matthau was a B-17 gunner or that he too passed away the other day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) He was a B-24 gunner in James Stewart's unit, but he passed away about a decade ago. Edited April 8, 2015 by Exhausted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
