Charles Voyde Harrelson (July 23, 1938 – March 15, 2007) was an American contract killer and organized crime figure who was convicted of assassinating federal judge John H. Wood Jr., the first federal judge to be assassinated in the 20th century. Charles Harrelson was the father of actors Brett and Woody Harrelson. Personal life

Charles Harrelson was born on July 23, 1938, in Lovelady, Texas, the son of Alma Lee (née Sparks; 1907–2002) and Voyde Harrelson (1901–1976).

He was married to Nancy Hillman Harrelson, Diane Lou Oswald, Jo Ann Harrelson and Gina Adelle Foster. Harrelson worked as an encyclopedia salesman in California, and as a professional gambler. In 1960, he was convicted of armed robbery. Harrelson later admitted that he had been involved in dozens of murders beginning in the early 1960s.

Woody Harrelson's dad was a professional contract killer.

His character should be played by Woody Harrelson.

It's the role he was born to play!

There's also a rumor he's Matthew McConnaughey's dad. Pretty wild life.

Also it’d be funny if there was a Jodie Foster connection with the third wife therefore John Hinkley comes into the picture

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

Did you look this up because they mentioned it on a recentish Boonta Vista ep? Lol

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

That is how I found out lol

I was listening to them at work last night and it blew my fucking mind.

He also is the guy who actually shot JFK (This is a true fact, he said so himself, and no amount of recanting or logic will convince me otherwise.)

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

That's been around the internet for a while now. Dude also claims to have shot JFK
