James Best / Rosco P. Coltrane

I was just checking out James Home page http://www.jamesbest.com/ and was reading up on his biography there. He is definatly a man of talent and has worked with some serious acting talent. He has worked with Jimmy Steward, Humphrey Bogart, Audie Murphy, Randolph Scott, Henry Fonda, Jerry Lewis, Rock Hudson, Anthony Quinn, Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Robert Urich and Carroll O'Conner. "Best formed the first school to teach actors Motion Picture Technique. He taught in Hollywood for Twenty-five years and worked with some of today's more prominent movie personalities and stars. Stars that included, Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Gary Busey, Teri Garr, Lindsay Wagner, Fa…

I figured this would be the place to gush about James's other works. Has anyone seen The Andy Griffith Show? He was in two of those episodes and I watch them repeatedly. I don't know how to explain it. The man just gets to me. In a good way. Hooper, of course, as Cully. God, I can watch that movie and watch his scenes repeatedly and not get tired of him.

I just watched "Last of the Bad Men", it was a pretty good movie for bein' so old. Jimmie was in it alot too, that's why I even watched it in the first place, He was the young kid that had never killed anyone, and he was always nervouse.But in one part of the movie he sang and played his guitar, he's a real good singer. But the worst part was when he finally got the courage to leave the outfit of outlaws and when he went to the Marshall, who was in on everything the outlaws were doin' , and the Marshall shot him. It sucked...plain and simple. Almost every other movie Ihave seen him in he gets kille, ex: Shenandoa when he plays Carter the confederate solider and he is figh…

rosco is funny to me because he is rosco!!!!!!! he is hilarious no matter what he does or says and i luv all of his funny lines such as...... "i luv it, i luv it" "Kew Kew Kew" "jit jit" "hot persuit" "Enos you dipstick" "What a horendous crash" "Freeeeeeeeeeeeze" "Cuff em' and stuff em' " "Shame, Shame everybody knows your name" and many more!!!!!!! why do you think rosco is funny????

OK, heres a place to give it up for Rosco. Anything that you thought was good of him or that he did well..... For me, I'd like to say Way to go Rosco for: Never giving up being smart enough to make all those contraptions and inventions to get the boys, They were awsome and smart, but never worked. (thats ok) these things don't need to have worked, just something you think Rosco should get props for.... since he never got it from Boss, or anyone else for that matter.

Tomorrow Mr. Best will be 79 years old.

she was in the ep THE RETURN OF HUGHIE HOGG and her name was Hortense Up until that ep the only sister he talked about was Lulu

I like when he thinks Luke is Enos in that one vehicle in "Route 7-11. Roscoe:"Enos, would you quit making those weird sounds and talk regular english?"

Is James Best and David Hasselhoff related by some chance because they kind of look alike or maybe it just me? They both have that dark hair, and I have seen movies and tv shows where is show James Best pre-Dukes era. Well , certainly before 1979 and when he was in "Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair" he gives a great one-liner to the lady that is talking to him after church. Before I bought that movie I had never seen James Best being a Smart aleck in anything else much before that. But James Best when he was young was very good looking and he had that smile , and probaly our grandmothers went to see his movies when he was younger. Oh, I like his role in Hooper and that Hat i…

Does anyone here happen to know of a site where I can grab a few wavs from the show, particularly Roscoe's laugh and other various phrases? I've been less than successful so far in my searches.

Jim's performance on the CMT awards tonight was a hoot! You could tell the fans really took to him doing the Rosco character. I laughed my posterior off!!!

Judas Priest onna pony!

It's Kinda funny that he never did, As he said on cmt insider "all he ever got was dirt all dirt but it was ok i hade flash". but i like rosco because he was funny so what do all of u thing about rosco? reply your anwsers.

While whatching the season 2 DVD I noticed that Rosco is replaced in a few of the episodes. I was just wondering the real reason why James Best was not in those episodes. Anyone know?

One of Rosco's famous lines is, "Shame, shame, everyone knows your name." Does he say this line in either of the first two seasons? I don't recall hearing it when I watched the DVD.

I remember it like it was yesterday...hmm...maybe it was yesterday... nevermind...just kidding. I am now living in Hawaii, but I was a resident of Chuluota, Florida for about 6 months. During that time, I met a lot of wonderful people. One day my Landlady dragged me to the Taste of Oviedo fair. Not having much money, I was kinda reluctant to go, but she told me it would be fun. I agreed and accompanied her up past the food booths and back down. I had $15.00 in my wallet, but told her I only had $5. So we separated and agreed to meet in half an hour near the entrance. It was a hot summer day in Florida and I wandered around for a bit and I came across a large selecti…

Today is James Best's b-day! Happy Birthday Jimmie!
