In 1976, he started three games before being released by then-coach Bart Starr the following year. After retiring from sports, he tracked down a buddy who had once introduced him to film director Robert Altman and moved to Hollywood to pursue acting.

Remember My Name, directed by Robert Altman, starred Autry (then known as Carlos Brown) in a brief role in 1978.Autry had guest appearances on a number of television shows during the 1980s, including Cheers, The A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, and Newhart.

Autry was elected mayor of Fresno, California, in November 2000, after campaigning as a Republican. In 2004, he was re-elected with more than 72% of the vote.

He launched an effort to end homelessness in Fresno in 2004 by ordering sweeps of homeless encampments in the city’s downtown. The program, according to a federal judge, violates the 4th and 5th Amendment rights of homeless persons by destroying property without due process.

  2. I’m a 73 yr old dog walker for my, bed-bound, 86 yr old neighbor.
    After the morning dog walk, I sit with her for an hour and we watch the full “In the Heat of the Night” series, one episode per day, on her Roku TV.
    Sgt Bubba Skinner is one of our favorite characters and I enjoyed reading his biography above.
    We are currently on season 5, ep 8.
    I enjoy the show more now than when I was younger.
