Bo had pretty normal recurring role on the '79 season of the Rockford Files as disbarred lawyer John Cooper. It was nice to see him not play a lowlife for a change. Great actor.

Bob Hopkins is a terrific actor, but his presence in a film is almost a spoiler that he'll get knocked off by the end. At first I thought it was Jerry Reed, though.

Absolutely agreed, Bo always played the unlucky guy
Actually he was in a movie called The Fifth Floor in which he played a bad guy, unusual for him..

Thanks for the recommendation of "The Fifth Floor." I shall seek that out.

Amazing poster for that film:

Bo was also a baddie in the underrated crime drama "the nickel ride" with Jason (exorcist) miller 1974.
