One of the best actors.
One of the best, comedy or drama, also an excellent teacher
If there is ever ANYONE who I sure hope to meet before they pass on...it's definitely James Best. Love that man!!
James Best was a badass!
The Classic Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane
RIP Jimmy
I sure enjoyed his guitar playing on the Andy Grittith Show from about 1962, watched it this morning.🤦♀️
He is still awesomely funny.
I wish Warner Brothers and CBS would do another Dukes of Hazzard movie with the original cast to see what they are up to
My birthday twin, many years apart though. In the USA James birthday would read 7/26/26 very unusual. I remember James Best from the Twilight Zone
James best is the best one these days I'm going to get those Duke boys let's go Ennis you dipstick lol I miss the Dukes of Hazzard the good ol General Lee
Hot Pursuit! guu guuu guuu
james best i always wanted to meet you my name is shane miguel iskenderian chavez and since i was a kid i always watched the dukes of hazzard and i always wanted to meet all the stars of the show and if it is posible can we meet one day and i also want to meet ben jones and the guy who played sheriff little don pedro cooley
@12StarsMedia How is he doing?
Best role I saw him play was Carter in Shenandoah. Befriended Charlie Anderson's (Jimmie Stewart) kid Boy Anderson. At a campfire, eating Lord knows what.
Boy Anderson: What is this?
Carter: That ain't nothing your mama ever served at the table. I hear down in Vicksburg they eating rats.
Great line from James Best. A scene or 2 later, he takes a bullet to the head on some battlefield. One of so many sad moments of the movie.
People forget how good a straight dramatic actor James Best is.
Ive met em twice, and he use to teach art at U.C.F. just below my apartment in Orlando. He was a talented fella, and im glad i had the opportunity to see some of his wonderful pieces of artwork. Thanks for the memories Jimmy. See ya on the other side.
~ The people of North Carolina such as myself will miss him !
SUGAR XYLER same here in Tennessee. He was in my favorite episode of Andy Griffith with Bobby Fleet and The Band with the Beat.
Best made us smile, laugh and forget our problems every Friday night. RIP
I was raised rthe next town over from hickory and still live there today . I would absolutely love to meet Mr . Best . He was a childhood hero of mine god how i miss the 80s and the duke boys . Him and Flash in the cop car was the best when he would say into the CB radio ( talking to bosshog) ok my lil fat buddy! Hahah
My son and I went to visit his gravesite and paid our respects. I absolutely loved him in the Dukes and Andy Griffith. He could play guitar , act direct and paint. What an amazing man. A hero soldier too. Thank you James Best for making us smile.
One of the kindest men in real life.
Yes he was. I met him in Asheville NC at a McDonald's he bought me a coffee. I have the photo but I cant post it on UA-cam
What a great actor!!! and legend,Thanks for all the great Dukes memories!!!!! #1
Rest in Peace
Rosco is my favorite character if all time. Heath Ledger as joker is a close second.
What a legend, long live Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane!
I'm a huge fan but I remember you as a fine western actor, one of my favorites was you as the Sheriff...but with Audie Murphy in the Quick Gun.
I loved it on The Dukes of Hazzard when Rosco would chase Bo and Luke, he'd say, oh, I love it I love it, hot pursuit, buckle up for safety Flash, but Rosco never could quite catch the duke boys because the General Lee was just too fast for Rosco, but still, Rosco was awesome and so funny. :)
James Best Also Played In Hooper With Burt Reynolds!
👏🙏🏾
He was a great looking guy in his day! great in the twilight zone (Jess Belle)...
JAMES BEST AS SHERIFF ROSCO P.COLTRANE THE DUKES OF HAZZARD
Gonna miss ya.
That is so great how he got into acting.
I just met him today at my church he came down to conover nc
I was curious about his religion. Was he a Christian?
He was a great actor. It's really nice to see him as this age. I just watched him in the Twilight Zone episode "The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank."
What a great man!!! We love you James!! You are the Best!
Oh my I so grateful to have the knowledge this interview brings, thank you.!
This is delightful.
@slowride55 Mr. Best is 84 years old.
Was
R.I.P. James
Thanks for posting!! The Dukes of Hazzard actors are surprisingly some of the most down to earth, intelligent and caring actors in the business. Great cast. They really were like a family. Long live Denver Pyle and Sorrell Booke.
10-4 that big buddy this is your superior officer Rosco P. Coltrane coo cooo I love it! I love it!
Thanks so much for posting this!
RIP!
will be missed
@slowride55 He seems to be doing very well. We just saw him perform a couple months ago.
Rest in peace!!
Roscoe too Boss Hogg="that's a 10-4 good buddy"Hogg replies"Roscoe i'm not your good buddy".Priceless.Best appeared with just about everyone in Hollywood at one time or another.🗽🗽🗽
One of my favorite roles that he played was the sleazy boyfriend in an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," named "The Jar." That thing gave me nightmares for years after seeing it as child. Besides James Best, the cast included Jane Darwell (Ma Joad in "The Grapes of Wrath"), Collin Wilcox (Mayella in "To Kill a Mockingbird"), William Marshall (Peewee's "King of Cartoons"), Jocelyn Brando, Slim Pickens, Billy Barty, and television favorites Pat Buttram and Jim Lindsey.
I Just LOVE The dukes of Hazzard TV Show! LOVE IT! James Best was Funny, Sorrell Booke was Such a Great Actor, and Very good at it. Funny? He was the Bomb! He spoke many languages. Like 8-9 of them. What a smart man Sorrell Brooke was. James best was very good at what he did. There's NOOOOO Re=Placing these two Guys for what they did!NOT EVEN Maybe!!! I Love The Dukes of Hazzard. xoxoxoxoxoox The Best TV Show ever for action and car stunts. REST ASSURE There will NEVER Be another show like it!!!
Love ya James and always will!!
I saw "The Dukes of Hazzard Reunion" just this morning. Never saw it before, and i watched that show almost religiously for years in the 80's. It's amazing how he's aged! Wow! Rosco is so cool! What a great character! Even in that reunion show, he still hadn't lost a step. Wonder if they'll do another reunion show. James is up there in age, Denver Pyle has passed, and Catherine, John and Tom are nearing their 60's. Don't know how old the actors who played "Cooter" and "Enos" are.
my name is shane chavez and i am a dukes of hazzard fan and i am sad about james best passing but i have some great ideas for 4 more dukes of hazzard episodes and i will post them in my next commetts but i would like to go to the next reunion and meet the dukes of hazzard stairs and i would like don pedro cooley as sheriff little to be there also god bless you all
"Cuff 'Em & Stuff 'Em !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 R.I.P. Mr. Best
How old is he?
Great man and actor! R.I.P. James.
Wiki says that James Best lives in Hickory NC ?
this heres ROSCOE P. COLTRANE
God love ya Roscoe.
@threemillionrivets You are very welcome! Thanks for viewing; we are posting a new part of the interview every Tuesday afternoon so check back often.
Rosco P. Coltrane the Best!!
Also Flash
How does a person like this let's himself get so gray and out of shape
ROBIN CAVICANTE---THE gray is beautiful and called aging gracefully! Wait until you are HIS AGE and ask yourself that question, you have no idea what health problems he might have that keeps him from active exercise, one day you will find out what you are too young and dumb to know now. ONE THING FOR SURE, HE HAS MORE TALENT AND BRAINS THAN YOU WILL EVER HAVE! PLUS HE IS/WAS A TRULY NICE GUY. This interview says 2010 so James was 83 years old and I doubt you will look that good at 83 IF YOU LIVE THAT LONG!!!
Thank you honey there ain’t but one way to get wisdom and it ain’t free and you can’t cheat to get it!!!!
