James Best – Dukes of Hazzard

February 13, 2013 in Sexy Older Men

James Best is probably best known for playing the role of Roscoe P. Coltrane on the hit TV series, Dukes of Hazzard.  Best, born Jewel Franklin Guy July 26, 1926, began his film and TV career in 1950.  I always thought him a good looking man on Dukes of Hazzard,  but didn’t realize just how sexy he was until I saw him in some old westerns, Twilight Zone, and the Andy Griffith Show.  Here’s some pics for your enjoyment.

Dennis Weaver – Chester on Gunsmoke, and McCloud

December 9, 2011 in Sexy Older Men

One of the things that I looked forward to on TV each week was McCloud.  I don’t recall what night of the week it came on, but this was one night that I somehow had control of the knob.  And so, I would always tune in to watch that handsome cowboy, Dennis Weaver, fight crime in New York.

Weaver had already become famous from his role as Chester on Gunsmoke, but I will always remember him as Sam McCloud.

In addition to a very sucessful career in television, Weaver has also played many film roles including starring in Steven Spielberg’s debut film, Duel (1971).

Weaver was born in Joplin, Missouri on June 4, 1924, and died on February 24, 2006.  He was a vegetarian since 1958, a strong advocate for alternative energies including hydrogen and wind power, and he founded an organization which provided food for 150,000 under-privileged people per week in Los Angeles.

With his rugged good looks, charming smile, and that sexy voice, how can you not like this guy?

James Arness – Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke

November 29, 2011 in Sexy Older Men

One of the sexiest cowboys to ever hit the small screen was James Arness who starred in the long-running series Gunsmoke as Matt Dillon, from 1955 to 1975.  Gunsmoke, to date, is the longest running primetime drama.  And, Arness is the tallest actor to ever play a lead role at 6’7″.  Now that’s a lot of cowboy.

My father was obsessed with Gunsmoke, as well as any other western that happened to be on TV.  As a result, for many years, I hated watching any westerns.  Now, I am able to appreciate them and often watch reruns of Gunsmoke.  Thanks Dad!
