Roscoe P. Coltrane has passed away at age 88. Of course he was also a popular western actor in the 50 and 60's. He also appeared in 3 Twilight zone episodes including "The Grave".

^He also made a couple of memorable appearances on The Andy Griffith Show.
Best always seemed like a genuinely nice guy. He managed to make a villain lovable from week to week for years and years, on top of his other work. RIP.

Yes, most remembered as Roscoe on The Dukes of Hazard , but a really fine character actor. I've seen his work in a good number of older movies.
May he rest in peace.

RIP James. I loved him in Dukes of Hazzard, The Killer Shrews, and an The Twilight Zone. He was truly a fine actor, and he will be missed.

About a year ago, he won somewhere between 5 and 25 million (big gap, I know) from the Studio for royalties from "sales of “Dukes” merchandise in the early years of the show." Not sure exactly what merch, but I hope it made his last year a little more fun.

RIP in James. A good man who in real life seem to be the very antithesis of the character he was best known for. Fascinating individual. Hopefully he's found Boss Hogg by now.Comment

He was off the show for a bit in the early 80s, before Schneider and Wopat walked off. Was this what it was over? I know Dick Sargent and a few other actors replaced him for a time.About a year ago, he won somewhere between 5 and 25 million (big gap, I know) from the Studio for royalties from "sales of “Dukes” merchandise in the early years of the show."

Good character actor. His character on The Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite. I believe I've seen him in more than a few westerns as well.Comment

He was my favorite character on the Dukes of Hazzard, I've also seen him in many old classic western movies
a great actor, did a lot of small apprances too, for example he was the radio scanner operator in the beggining
of the movie, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, which also featured at the end of the movie Lee Van Cleef.
RIP James, will be surely missed.Comment

Seemed like a pretty cool guy. Very underrated actor. RIP, 'Sheriff Roscoe'. Thanks entertaining us with that character. "Cuff 'em and stuff 'em, Enos you dipstick."Comment
