Something I Didn't Know

Chesticles · Aug 20, 2008

I watched No Country For Old Men last night (awesome movie btw) and was searching the trivia on imdb and came across this about Woody Harrelson, which I thought was quite shocking:

In the novel (but not in the movie), Sheriff Bell says of the dope-dealers, "Here a while back in San Antonio they shot and killed a federal judge." McCarthy set the story in 1980. In 1979, in San Antonio, Federal Judge John Howland Wood was shot and killed by rifle fire by a Texas free-lance contract killer named Charles Harrelson. Actor Woody Harrelson (Carson Wells in the movie) is his son.

Sentenced to two life terms for the assassination of U.S. District Judge John Howland Wood for Jimmy Chagra. He claimed at trial that he did not kill Wood, but merely took credit for it so he could score a huge pay out from Chagra.

Am I massively out of the loop or did anyone else not know about this?

I'm aware of that, I just never saw the need to look up Woody Harrelson's bio, because...well it's Woody Harrelson.

^^ I was thinking that your meaning was more "dude is this true", my bad.

It is obviously something Woody is particularly proud of then isn't it.

I wish my Dad was a contract killer, it sounds so much cooler than a vet.

"Class this is Mr El Freako, El's dad. He's a contract killer for the mob."
"Morning kids. Actually I work freelance these days."
"Oh well in that case can you take care of the naughty kids?"
"Sure, which ones."
