RIP Cowboy. Thanks for your gift of acting.

His eyes glistened when he mentioned Burt Reynolds.

He ad-libbed his part in deliverance and made it perfect.

The scene was almost entirely improvised. The script (which can be read online) was really quite bare. Well done to the actors involved

Wow I’m learning about this actor today, upon learning of his death in Western NC. I didn’t even know he lived here. His beloved squirrel and another pet also perished along with his girlfriend. This video shed light on his life , a well lived one too. Such an unfortunate accident to take him. RIP and God Bless.

Rest in Peace, Squirrel Man and Cowgirl. 💔😔🙏

I was so sorry to see Burt debilitated like that. I'm glad Cowboy came and visited him.

Kudos to you guys for doing this clip. You made my day.

Mountain men like this never die. They are always waiting for you at the mountain tops.

Waiting for you to come so he could make you squeal like a pig.

It’s always the nice guys who play the most evil characters. 😇

He seemed like such a sweet, soft spoken man. I loved when he showed off his little pet squirrel. I've noticed that the most chilling villains are so often played by the nicest people, and this seemed to certainly be true in Cowboy's case. Sadly, I read that he was killed in a car wreck a few days ago. RIP Cowboy...you were certainly one of a kind, both on screen and off.

Another example - Richard Kiel.

I remember being in Verizon Wireless in Waynesville (right near Maggie Valley) when I was a kid, and saw a hunched man with a squirrel crawling all over his back come in. I didn't know who it was at the time, I just remember thinking he looked like the archetypal hillbilly. It was the only time I ever saw Cowboy.

Cowboy and his wife died only a few months ago in a car accident. They weren't wearing seatbelts. Such a long life, ended so suddenly and needlessly. RIP Cowboy and always wear your seatbelts people!

He seems like a really nice guy in true life.

R.I.P. Herbert, you were my friend. Killed in a crash on 1/24/2024

RIP Cowboy and thank you for giving us one of the scariest scenes to talk and joke about.

American Legend 🇺🇸 💪 🐿️

This movie is scary as shit to a twelve year old , anyone.?

If you're on a river and hear banjos playing, paddle faster

He died yesterday here in Haywood county in a car wreck

A very good actor. RIP Cowboy

Great to see him with Burt, friendly kiss. Love it.

Probably the most despised villain in film history

That scene scared me so much I was afraid to go trout fishing on the Chattooga River for years afterward.

My hero!!

RIP Cowboy

Don’t say any thing just do it 🤣 hell that’s frightening

Seems like a cool dude. And he has more teeth now!

I wish I could get a Squirrel to do that !!!

The toothless man,…LOL!

Squirrel is cool as hell

RIP

That squirel, straight from the star wars

Read a hundred years ago squirrels were the number one pet in America. Fine ladies used a delicate chain for that leash. Five dollars in front of every Walgreens. Always wondered what it'd look like. Thanks, Cowboy.
