Meadowmufn Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Sad news… Actor Dennis Burkley has passed away. He played Bubba in episode "Find Loretta Lynn" and Mickey Larsen in "Strange Visitor To Hazzard". He was also seen in several great 70's and 80's shows like Rockford Files, Greatest American Hero, The Fall Guy, and Knight Rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thats really sad... I found both of his roles on the Dukes very good, one of the better ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for passing on the sad news, Mufn.I've just been checking out his IMDb page. His last role was as the voice of Principal Moss on 'King of the Hill' (I watched early episodes before it moved to a channel I don't have), but his last on-screen roles were in 'My Name is Earl'. Here's a grab from each of his three appearances between 2005 and 2008:Randy's Touchdown (Season 1, Episode 3) as 'Impound Owner'.Number One (Season 1, Episode 24) as 'Roy Wade'.Sold a Guy a Lemon Car (Season 4, Episode 9) as 'Junkyard Owner'.There's an article about Dennis on Today.com that mentions Dukes among his many acting roles.

RogerDuke Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Sad news indeed. It always hurts to lose someone who was on the show. I loved his part in those two episodes. He was a very talented actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
