I was reading through a list of actors from Buffalo and was surprised to learn that Sorrell Booke, Boss Hogg himself, is from Olean.

 

Had I known that earlier, I would have rooted a little harder for him to catch those Duke boys. :)

 

(Also just read that he's a cousin of Max Yasgur of Woodstock fame)

And Christine Baranski, William Fichtner (huge Sabres fan), the guy who played Dale on The Walking Dead, Jeffrey Jones, Wendy Malick.

 

Also, John Basilone and Bill Donovan were from Buffalo. (Donovan ran the OSS in World War 2. Anyone who doesn't know who Basilone is can just !@#$ off.)

The festival was held on his farmland. He was forever enshrined in the Joni Mitchell song, and C,S,N & Y hit, "Woodstock."

 

"I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, gonna join in a rock-in-roll band. Gonna get back to the land and set my soul free."
