My dad worked in the art department for ‘In the Heat of the Night’. I was an extra on one of the extra long season finales. My dad took me to the police station set and he was there being a racist/mysogynistic fuck.
Interesting. I had always heard he was actually a really nice guy. Maybe that was just trying to make it look like the guy who played Archie had a heart because Archie had a heart even though he was a right-wing bigot.

It’s ok, I’ve met Carrol O’Conner and he pretty much fits the memes well so his legend will live on in truth at least.
