Acteur et chanteur Country né John Richard Schneider, le 8 Avril 1960 à Mount Kisco (New York). John Schneider est surtout connu en France par la série TV "The
Dukes Of Hazzard" (Sheriff Fait Moi Peur).
Best known
for playing Bo Duke on the hit TV series The Dukes of Hazzard, John Schneider also
maintained a parallel secondary career as a country singer for much of the '80s.
Born in Mt. Kisco, New York, in 1960, Schneider grew up in Atlanta and started
acting at the age of eight; he also learned guitar, and as a teenager he
entertained at parties and other social events. He loved auto racing and briefly
attempted to become a professional, and that experience helped him land his co-starring
role on The Dukes of Hazzard in 1979. He remained with the series until its
cancellation in 1985, with a brief interruption due to a contract walkout in
1982, and also appeared in several films and TV movies.
Meanwhile, Schneider recorded a country album called Now or Never for Scotti
Brothers in 1981. It was a Top Ten hit on the country charts, and the single "It's
Now or Never" made the Top Five on both the country and adult contemporary
charts, just missing the pop Top Ten. The holiday album White Christmas followed,
and Schneider went on to sign with MCA, issuing five albums from 1984-1987. He
scored four number one singles during that time: "I've Been Around Enough to
Know" (1984), "Country Girls" (1985), and "What's a Memory Like You (Doing in a
Love Like This)" and "You're the Last Thing I Needed Tonight" (both 1986). He
also managed five other Top Ten hits, and one of his LPs, 1986's A Memory Like
You, topped the country charts.
Schneider kept his acting career going with a variety of guest starring roles on
television, plus a few films, and appeared in a couple of Dukes of Hazzard
reunion projects. He returned to the spotlight in 2001, when he landed the role
of Clark Kent's father on the popular WB series Smallville. From that point
forward, Schneider worked regularly on film and television, including providing
voices for animated series. He resumed his recording career in a low-key fashion
in 2009 with the self-released John's Acoustic Christmas, which was followed by
another holiday album in 2014: a collaboration with his Dukes of Hazzard
costar Tom Wopat called Home for Christmas. Schneider signed with Maven Music in
2016, releasing Ruffled Skirts, which featured Cajun Navy as support, that year.
In 2018, Schneider released Odyssey, an ambitious 52-song exploration of
American roots music.
