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