Ah, RIP Sorrell Brooke. As per Wikipedia he was the opposite of his Boss Hogg character...

"Booke was fluent in French, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, and Italian. He said that he also “fussed" with a half-dozen other languages such as Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Dutch, Persian, Polish, and Swedish. One of his hobbies was moving into and restoring rundown houses. In 1981, he lived in a "modest home on a modest street in Los Angeles," where he did his own gardening and carpentry. He called his Boss Hogg character "despicable," but enjoyed meeting with fans of the show."

Cheers, -Randy

@randygalbraith@diasp.org I only knew him as Boss Hogg, I was absolutely crazy about the Dukes of Hazzard when I was a kid.

Back then, Bo was my favorite. But when I grew up (yes, I watched reruns, and I own every season on DVD), what James Best and Sorrell Books did together became magic.

Comedy at its finest. The facial expressions, the voices and the timing, fantastic. They're both missed...
