 Sorrell Booke was only slightly overweight at best.He wore padding under his suit to give Boss his familiar 62 inch waist.Initially the character was created as a corrupt, gruff nemesis for the Duke family to battle, but as the series evolved over its first and subsequent seasons, Hogg developed more into a comical money-grabbing villain, more intent on various get-rich-quick schemes and shady plots than ever knowingly causing anyone serious harm.
