I got shrew doo on my shoe!

Born Jewel Franklin Guy in 1926, he did a stint in the U.S. Army as MP, and then as a bona fide member of the military's acting division during the latter part of WWII. He returned to the States in 1949, left the service, and proceeded to appear in a whooole bunch of Westerns. (But hey, who didn't back then?)

His biggest role in a riffed movie was experiment #407, The Killer Shrews -- but he also appeared in a bit part in #809, I Was a Teenage Werewolf as "the kid at the party who gets slapped" according to Satellite News. He's officially a two-fer!

(Apparently he was also in the 2012 sequel to The Killer Shrews, but you're on your own there as I didn't know it existed until just now and am in no hurry to investigate further in any case.)

Best's most notable role beyond MST was as Rosco P. Coltrane on the hit 70's program, The Dukes of Hazzard -- a show largely about ripping off Hal Needham on a TV budget, starring a problematic Dodge Charger. Rosco was fun, though!

Best died in 2015 at the age of 88.

Can you play Dixieland jazz?
