Clifton James aka Sheriff Oliver Chauncey

How many times has he played a sheriff? He must hold some kind of record. Here, twice in James Band movies, Superman II, and lots of others. If you include city cops, detectives, prison guards it must be around 50. One thing nobody realizes is that the southern accent he uses is fake. He's really from NYC.

He played a Warden and a Sheriff on The A-Team too.

Just saw this again on TV and he really is good in that role.

It pays the bills.

What's wrong with people working?

His southern accent is very convincing, given his NYC roots...
