My Take
Sorrell Booke deserves more reverence than he usually gets. To most he's simply Boss Hogg from The Dukes of Hazzard, but think about what that role required: making a greedy, scheming antagonist somehow lovable enough to anchor a family hit for years. That's a hard trick, and Booke, a Columbia-educated Buffalo native with over 130 credits across stage, film, and television, pulled it off with relish. I admire actors who can take a one-note villain and find the comedy and humanity inside him. He passed in 1994, but character players like this never really leave us; they live on every time the reruns roll.
