James Best

Perhaps you've heard of James Best. Perhaps you haven't.

But I'm betting you've seen him, especially if you watch Nick at Night.

James Best was (he's still around, just retired) was a character actor. He played in over 600 TV episodes as a tough in shows like Gunsmoke, The Andy Griffith Show, Bonanza, rawhide, Wagon Train, and more.

But his most famous role was Roscoe P. Coltrane in The Dukes of Hazzard.

I've been publishing my own Boomer nostalgia site at I Remember JFK for better than a year now, and one of the many fellow Boomer friends I've met online is JoJami Tyler, who runs her own Boomer blog over at Fabulous After 40.

Well, this week, I learned that JoJami's father is none other than James Best!

And Mr. Best is a multi talented individual indeed. Check out his impressionist paintings on display at the site. I'm a big fan of the genre, and may I say I'm impressed.

You never know what connections you're going to make online!
