Actor Rick Hurst, best known for playing Deputy Cletus Hogg in the hit sitcom “The Dukes of Hazzard,” has died at age 79.
His death was confirmed by Ben Jones, his co-star on the show, who posted a message on the Facebook page of the Cooter’s Place museum, which is dedicated to the show, on Thursday.
“It doesn’t seem right that Rick Hurst passed away this afternoon. When something so unexpected happens, it is ‘harder to process,’ as the current expression goes,” wrote Jones

Would have thought he was a good bit older. You could have told me he died 20 years ago and I wouldn’t have blinked an eye.

I met him at World of Wheels as a kid and got a signed headshot of him - he wrote "Keep your Dukes Up!"

Friday nights were golden with tv shows. And the DOH topped it off with Daisy and the flying General Lee

Did you know that Sorrell Booke, the actor who played Boss Hogg was a genius and spoke 12 languages? He was an amazing guy and had an incredible career.

Truly a Boss (Hog).
