James Best
A biography

While he is probably most widely known for his role as Rosco. P. Coltrane in the long-running television hit The Dukes of Hazzard, James Best has built an impressive career on both stage and screen and has taught some of the film industry’s biggest stars. He is a veteran character actor, having appeared in eighty-three feature films, many of them considerable of historical significance: The Left Handed Gun, Shenandoah, The Caine Mutiny, Battle Cry, Sounder, and The Naked and the Dead, to name but a few.
Born in Kentucky and reared in Indiana, Best’s first professional stage experience came in a European tour of My Sister Eileen, which was produced by Arthur Penn, who whould later go on to direct such film classics as The Left Handed Gun and Bonnie and Clyde.
With the completion of the tour, Best returned to New York, where he performed in both summer and winter stock productions. Additionally, he performed ion stage throughout the Northeast, and toured nationally for almost 18 months in the Broadway musical Marinka.
Upon his return to New York, Best was noticed by an executive for Universal Pictures. Under contract to Universal for two years, Best moved to California before embarking on a freelance career that firmly established his credentials in the performance arena.
Since then, he has appeared in more than 600 television shows, including The Twilight Zone, Gunsmoke, The andy Griffith Show, Rawhide (with a then relatively unknown Clint Eastwood) and Wagon Train. He now lives and teaches in Central Florida, and is a Faculty Associate in the Department of Theatre.
