R.I.P. James Hampton

I learned early this morning James Hampton who was the Sheriff in the 3rd season TGAH episode Desperado has passed away. Hampton is probably best known to TV fans for his role in the 60s series F Troop, fans of film will remember him starring with Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard, he starred in other movies such as Hanger 18, Condorman, and Teen Wolf. He was all over the tube in the 70s and 80s in series such as The Rockford Files, The Dukes of Hazzard, Tales of The Gold Monkey, Matt Houston, Otherworld and many others.

Hampton recently released a autobiography just two months ago: www.amazon.com/What-Give-Up-Show-Business/dp/0875657613/

Another childhood favorite gone...R.I.P. sir.

I loved him in TEEN WOLF.

He came to my town of Big Stone Gap some years back to film a scene for the movie based on the book of the same name, as well as Jenna Elfman, Patrick Wilson (whose family is from around here), Jane Krakowski, Anthony LaPaglia, Whoopi Goldberg, Jasmine Guy, and Chris Sarandon.

Oh yeah, the star of the movie, Ashley Judd, was here too.
