Biography of "Luke Duke"
When I got this job, I was plenty excited, but my attitude has changed. When people ask me what it's like to be a TV star, I don't know what they're talking about. I'm just the lead in a TV series and that's all." -- Tom Wopat "Look, we have a great rapport. I'm more withdrawn, John's...impetuous. A very strong personality. He's in a high-pressure situation. He'll react first, think later, but you can't quarrel with his energy. John's young - in the best sense of the word, of course." -- Tom Wopat, on co-star John Schneider "The minute I saw him I knew he was right [for the part]. It's his walk. He has that country walk of people used to moving across plowed ground." -- Gy Waldron (creator of Dukes), on Tom Wopat Tom Wopat plays the part of Luke Duke, the older dark-haired Duke cousin in The Dukes of Hazzard.
