Tom will forever be remembered as strapping, good ol' boy Luke Duke, in the series The Dukes Of Hazzard. But his background as a classically trained vocalist is a far cry from the car crashes and simple humor that gave the series a seven-year run and afforded him the opportunity to make his debut as a director on five episodes. In fact, Wopat is that rare renaissance performer, equally adept at music, stage and screen - a singer who can truly act and an actor who can truly sing. After starring in Dukes from 1978 to 1985, Wopat resumed his theatrical career in 1986 with Carousel at the Kennedy Center. Returning to New York in the early '90s, he starred in the Tony® Award-winning musicals City Of Angels and Guys and Dolls.
In February of 1999 Wopat created the role of Frank Butler to Bernadette Peters' Annie in the Broadway revival of Annie Get Your Gun which brought him a Tony Nomination, and spawned a nine-month cross-country United States tour of the show. Tom has also led and guest starred in numerous television shows including: Cybil; Crisis Center; Home Improvement; Meteorites!; Just My Imagination; A Peaceable Kingdom; The Hive; 100 Center Street; Murder She Wrote; Blue Skies and Smallville. Feature films include a supporting role in Bonneville starring Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Joan Allen and Jonah Hex with Josh Brolin and Megan Fox.
