It's too late my son, Mr Peabody's coal train done hauled it away.

james Best spent a number of years in my namesake county as an acting coach and talent consultant after Dukes. Good to see he is still going strong.

And I didn’t know he was cousins with the Everly Brothers.

Saw him a few months ago. He seemed to be doing great. Talked with him a bit about “The Killer Shrews.” Always loved that film. It’s schlocky, but very endearing.

Best’s filmography is massive. He made an appearance in just about every episodic tv-series back in the late-50s and 1960s.
