The Dukes of Hazzard has achieved real cult status! The American series was produced from 1979 to 1985 and seven seasons were aired. A bunch of TV movies as well as video games came after it and added to the appeal of the "Dukes". But what happened to the show's actors and actresses?

Tom Wopat, better known as "Luke Duke", was one of the two lead actors. Together with his cousin "Bo", "Luke" constantly stirs up trouble and almost always barely escapes the County Commissioner "Boss Hogg" and his henchmen.

By now, Tom Wopat is in his 70s, but there's no retirement in sight. The actor and singer was featured on the sitcom Cybill after The Dukes of Hazzard ended. Fortunately, Tom Wopat is still working in show business. These days, you will probably find him on a Broadway stage rather than in front of a camera though!

The second member of the dynamic duo in The Dukes of Hazzard is John Schneider, who played "Bo Duke." He was always sitting next to his cousin "Luke" in their car, which they call the "General Lee." The two handsome actors somehow always managed to get away!

John Schneider is still highly successful in the entertainment business. In 2016, he was featured in the horror film Exit 14. Besides his acting career, "Bo" also spearheads some great charity organizations. For instance, the Hollywood star founded a company called FaithWorks Productions in 1995.

She's by far the most important woman in The Dukes of Hazzard: "Daisy Duke", who was played by the gorgeous Catherine Bach. She lives next to "Luke", "Bo" and "Uncle Jesse" on a farm, working at the local watering hole, "Boar's Nest". This is also the location of several bar fights and an important location for the show.

Catherine Bach started making waves in the fashion business after the show ended. Even today, "Daisy-Duke-Jeans" are still well known, referring to the very short and cropped jean shorts "Daisy" always wore in the show. From 1991 until 2010 the popular actress was married to the late actor and hotshot lawyer Peter Lopez (†61) with whom she has two daughters.

"Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane", embodied by James Best, was the County Commissioner "Boss Hogg's" top stooge. His dog "Flash" was always at "Sheriff Rosco's" side. "Rosco" was also the one who always chased "Luke" and "Bo Duke" around the county in his police car.
