Sorrell Booke
Known for: Acting
Born: January 4, 1930
Died: February 11, 1994
Place of birth: Buffalo, New York, USA
Sorrell Booke January 4, 1930 – February 11, 1994) was an American actor. He found his calling early in life, like most actors, when his family encouraged him to entertain relatives by doing impressions and telling jokes. He went on to study at Yale and Columbia University, and mastered five languages. During the Korean War, Booke worked in counter-intelligence where his lingual talents served him well. His intelligence and subtlety are often overlooked when considering his signature role as Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg during his run on The Dukes of Hazzard (1979). He died of cancer in 1994, just after his 64th birthday.
