John Beasley, who starred in the WB series “Everwood,” and co-starred with The Rock in the 2004 movie “Walking Tall,” died Tuesday at 79, his son announced.
“Man…you know this is a part of life…but that doesn’t make it any easier,” hison Facebook. “I lost my best friend today. They say you shouldn’t ever meet your heroes because they don’t turn out to be who you thought they were. That is so wrong. My hero was my father. Thank you for everything. I hope I made you proud. Love you more.”
What the Omaha, Nebraska native called his “big break” was his role in the 1997 drama “The Apostle” starring Robert Duvall as a preacher who opens a church with help from a retired preacher, played by Beasley.
