May 6, 200620 yr My friends and I know zippo about our favorite Duke. Anyone want to spare some facts on our behalf.
May 6, 200620 yr Well for one thing John R. Schneider was born April 8, 1960 and he was born in New York. He was a extra on Smokey and The Bandit when he was sixteen and he was eighteen when he got the role of Bo Duke.
May 7, 200620 yr I wish that someone change his real birth of year 1960 from 1954 on IMDB.com, agree with me?
May 7, 200620 yr I wish that someone change his real birth of year 1960 from 1954 on IMDB.com, agree with me?Huh????? I don't understand why you wish that someone would change his birth year.
May 7, 200620 yr Because IMDb has it wrong. They have 1954 when it's supposed to be 1960, and for some reason they won't change it.
May 7, 200620 yr Oh ok, I had it backwards. I thought that you wanted to change the date from 1960 to 1954. I got ya know and I agree with you too.
May 31, 200620 yr Wikipedia has a bunch of info about John.They used to have 1954 too, but I got them to change it! I added a trivia point (because I couldn't edit the main part) about how he was actually born in 1960 not 1954, and a couple of days later, viola! they'd changed the date!I was so proud heheh.
June 13, 200620 yr He was scared of heights and had either Tom or his stunt double to the height action... (but then on the other hand Tom can't swim so John did all the swimming stuff)
June 21, 200620 yr Author He's scared of heights Tom was his stunt double for the high stuff and John was Tom's double for when they swim, 'cause Tom can't swim.
July 10, 200620 yr He's scared of heights Tom was his stunt double for the high stuff and John was Tom's double for when they swim, 'cause Tom can't swim. Cool fact I did not know that.
July 11, 200620 yr Because IMDb has it wrong. They have 1954 when it's supposed to be 1960, and for some reason they won't change it.Yeah.
July 13, 200620 yr Apparently....The reason Bo appears so out of breath after a short run or a fight is because he has asthama, which is why so many fan fics have Bo having asthma.In reality, it is John Schneider who has slight asthma and this just came over in the character, Bo was never in fact meant to have it

I never knew that!!!!!! thanks for sharing that with us.
March 27, 200719 yr But there is a scene where Tom is in the lake and go under water, in the episode where they thought Rosco is died.
March 31, 200719 yr In shallow water he was okay, like in Ghost of General Lee he's there too, it was in deep water that he couldn't do it. Such as, in the one where Bo wrestles the alligator, that was supposed to be Tom but he can't swim so Bo does it instead.The shot where Tom's underwater could very well be a stunt double that looks like him or it was shallow water made to look deep.
