Sonny Shroyer
Biography
Sonny Shroyer is an American retired actor who built a long screen career out of television and film work, most associated with Deputy Sheriff Enos Strate on The Dukes of Hazzard. Born in Valdosta, Georgia, he started out as a professional model in 1961 and made his screen debut in Payday (1973). Casting him as the naive deputy in 1978 made him a familiar face, and his character was written out early in the third season to headline the spinoff Enos in 1980; when that show was canceled after eighteen episodes he rejoined The Dukes of Hazzard in 1982 and stayed until it ended in 1985. Later parts included University of Alabama coach Paul Bryant in Forrest Gump, Delbert Birdsong in The Rainmaker and Governor Jimmie Davis in Ray. He also recorded country and gospel music, including the 1982 children's album Back in Hazzard.
