In the Heat of the Night.

I remembered another local celebrity from my hometown. It was always rumored that Carroll O'Connor's stunt double from In the Heat of the Night lived in Huntington. I never met him but it's just one of those things that you'd hear about too often not to be true. People would always be talking about some crazy shit that Carroll O'Connor's stunt double was doing at the bar over the weekend. I always imagined him getting in fights that started with him saying "Do you know who I am? I'm Carroll O'Connor's fucking stunt double from In the Heat of the Night!" and ending with someone getting thrown in slow motion over a bar into glass storm of liquor bottles. In collage I even bought a crystal ball at a yard sell that the owner told me was used as a prop on In the Heat of the Night, allegedly sold to him by Carroll O'Connor's stunt double.

Later I later heard that Carroll O'Connor's stunt double was a huge drug addict by the time he got to Huntington, the glue that brought all the stories together.
