John Schneider, who rose to stardom on The Dukes of Hazzard, just shared that he told a massive lie to score the coveted role of Bo Duke.
Schneider, 66, rose to stardom as Bo Duke on the program, which followed Bo and Luke (played by Tom Wopat) on a Georgia farm. The third leg of their infamous group was Catherine Bach in the role of Daisy Duke. The series, which ran from 1979 to 1985 on CBS, went down in history as a fan favorite. But in a new interview, Schneider admitted that he told a massive lie at the audition.
“I told them, I said, ‘Look, I’m 24 years old from Snailville, Georgia. I grew up on a farm, and I just came in first in my class at the Georgia School of High Performance Driving.’ Which did not exist… You couldn’t ask your phone if this place existed,” the New York native shared during an appearance on “Arroyo Grande with Raymond Arroyo”, Fox News reported.
“I learned a long time ago, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression,” Schneider continued. “I gave them exactly what I thought they wanted.”
The star said the casting directors “were looking for good old boys from the rural South, 24 to 30, with no acting experience, but a lot of racing experience.”Check out his hilarious admission below:

Being There For His Dukes Co-Stars
Having a solid team he worked with for years on Dukes, Schneider took to Facebook to express his care for Bach after she was recently hospitalized due to an embolism that developed after surgery, Parade reported.
“Attention, Dukes of Hazzard family! I just texted Catherine, and thankfully, she responded right away,” Schneider wrote. “Yes, she is in the hospital, but she assures me that she is going to be fine. She appreciates all our prayers and support and is truly disappointed not to be traveling this weekend. We love you, Catherine!”
The Dukes Have Lasting Friendships
While the stars of Dukes met decades ago on the fan favorite show, they’ve managed to stay close throughout the years, maintaining a strong bond that’s navigated many ups and downs.
“It never occurred to us that we weren’t going to be friends for life,” Schneider told Fox News in April. “I’ve met other people from other shows, and particularly other bands… there’s a lot of bands that can’t stand one another. I couldn’t imagine a life without Tom Wopat being one of my best friends, without Catherine Bach being one of my best friends. It couldn’t possibly exist.”
