Lebo leigh Leigh I would say he’s a guy who like everyone can kill and he needed the money. As a hit man you have the best opportunity to never be caught. you show up kill them make sure there’s no connection to you physically and keep the customer quiet about what they’re buying you would most likely get away. Police if they don’t have any evidence go for people who have a reason to hurt the victim a person who never met him is not one of the people with reason to kill him.
Not many traveling Encyclopedia salesmen have famous sons. Would he “Woody” turn out to be another like father like son or wood “e” be a product of his environment and turn out to be everything that his loving mother had worked so hard and hoped for 🥰.
I fed Woody a number of times before he became famous working in Lebanon, Ohio's downtown 24 hour restaurant. The place was VERY popular with the bar crowds after closing time, which is when he'd come in on occasion. I didn't know him personally, just by face. I didn't know his name until recognizing him after he started on Cheers. I then later worked for a carpet cleaning company in Lebanon and cleaned the carpet at his mother's house. I literally was cleaning the hall carpet where she had pictures of her family on the wall and saw Woody's high school pics and realized the customers name was Diane Harrelson. She was a very nice lady and we talked a bit about Woody and how she was proud of him.
@@robertlaube574 Buck up son, life does not get easier. Feeling sorry for your self will make you a loser, and unatractive to any self respecting women, if you are into that kind of thing.
Unless you live in north Korea then the sins of the grandfather are the sins of the sons and grandsons. They can be given 3 life sentences which means 3 generations of the family are jailed for life. Fucked up or what?
Good on Woody for making his life a success. I know exactly how he felt, my father was a bank robber. Fortunately, I had a good mother. My brother and sisters all grew up to be successful, productive citizens. Being the oldest son, I decided to become a police officer to make up for my dad.
That's a wonderful story. God bless you, your mom, and your siblings. No one knows but you and the family the challenges you all had to overcome with that burden resting on your shoulders.
@@MikeyD22 Thank you for your very thoughtful comment, it means a lot. As a policeman I like to think my rough upbringing gave me more empathy and understanding towards people in trouble.
I met Woody in Ohio during a visit in Lebanon a few times over 50 years ago. He was mature for his age. He mostly talked about Lebanon Ohio and how one person practically owned the town. This young man was probably much more intelligent than some adults I knew. He never mentioned his father. I never forgot over the years how Woody was one of the smartest kids I ever met. I never watched cheers or make the connection. When he got busted in the same county where my parents were from, in Lee Co Ky, and after I read their local paper, finally I made the connection between the actor and the smart and likable kid I met in Ohio.
Do you remember who it was that Woody said "owned" Lebanon? The Milbern side of my family lived in Lebanon at that time, and my aunts and uncles knew of Woody. Well, I think my cousin Doug knew him. Doug appears for a couple of seconds in the background of a scene in "Harper Valley PTA".
@@ashcarrier6606 I can’t remember the name of the owner but his name was attached to so many businesses and properties in Lebanon. My grandfather did too in the same county (Lee) where Woody got busted. My grandfather sold much of it during WW2 because he was an officer of both WW’s. Lebanon Ohio seemed more hillbilly than Eastern Ky. I haven’t been to Lebanon since 1971 when my family moved out of Dayton Ohio and to Central Illinois. My uncle lived in Lebanon because his wife had family there and they were hard core hillbillies, the type that would butcher a hog in their kitchen.
Nothing out of the ordinary. Thousands of others do it too. They just don't have the name recognition Harrelson has. Nor do they get the recognition, empathy, and compassion you are willing to give Harrelson. He hasn't done anything beyond the norm. Care to give some love and a shout-out to all the others, too?

Woody as an actor I have always thought was a great character actor. Yes he comes across weird and in personal interviews he comes across as way out there. Either way he has his place in the world of acting and I am sure carries pain of growing without a father. Weird is ok, deep, and comes across as a real character. You don't have to be some pretty boy actor when you can perform like Woody. Can't wait for another movie
It was like therapy . Every child of serial killers always feel what if i have that gene could they be a secret serial killer. So him going into acting and doing it in a safe FAKE PLAYED OUT ENVIRONMENT was perfect. As you noticed he never played that kindah role again
Do the the great pig war! Please!! It's oozes weirdness. Ya know....that one time Canada, the UK and the US nearly got into a 3 way fist fight over a farmers pig....And the somehow Germany had to get involved...there's a LOT of weird....stuff that happened during this conflict.
It amazes me how many people get away with murder in this country. And Are released from prison after their sentence or before. Good thing there is a judge after life
I was at the ADX in 2007 when he past away. The unit he was in was locked down and only limited people could go in for awhile after he past away. One thing that’s right is how quiet it is the loudest noise is the doors closing.
Woody is one of the most underrated actors ever. He is phenomenal. A bit quirky but aren’t we all? I admire his efforts to help his dad as misguided as they might be.
Woody Harrelson used to baby sit me as a baby. He was part of the "redwood spring", a group of people who helped protect the redwood forest from loggers in '97-'98 (look up Julia Butterfly Hill or David "Gypsy" Chain). My mom, dad, and uncle were all part of this movement. After I was born in '98 he would help take care of me while my mom went out and protected the trees. I really hope I get to meet him as an adult and remind him who I am.
they didn't mention Harrelson was in Dallas on Nov 22 when President Kennedy was shot. He was interviewed along with two other men who hid out in a train car.
Hi Weird History! This is a bit random, but can you possibly make a video about the dogs of war, or rather the history of how dogs were used in war and raids? Love your videos! Thanks!
Woody tried to connect with a dad he never had even at the cost of bad publicity which could have ruined his acting career. Oh, what grief did Woody suffer while trying to be a good son? Woody is an excellent actor and has earned the respect he deserves.
I didn't really know anything about Woody Harrelson other than seeing him in No Country for Old Men. How interesting! I feel sad for both of them. Thanks for making this video!
I live about half an hour away from Lebanon and I had no idea the details of Harrelson’s father. He is mostly known locally for being the weed guy and sometimes Cheers
I would LOVE if you did a video on Alejandro Jodorowsky, Father of the Midnight Movie, The man who revamped the Tarot for the modern generation, made his latest movie at age 89 and has been a mime, a psychologist, a psychomagician, a comic writer, a composer and wrote over 100 plays before he turned 30. Also acted in most of his movies.

Intriguing especially since Harrelson was pictured in a photograph as one of the infamous "tramps" that were arrested at the railroad overpass at the JFK assassination
Charles Harrelson resembles the policeman behind the tramps in the second two policemen escorting the tramps. The 'policeman' leading the tramps at first looks like Charles Rogers.

Ooh I'd love for you guys to explain/ present a series on cults is possible. I found you guys maybe a week ago and don't think theres a video on your channel I've not seen 🙂
I have some weirdness to add to this story. About 10 years ago, I worked at a sizable family owned manufacturing business in Texas. The 4 owners were 1 older sister and 3 younger brothers, the youngest was in his 40’s.The sister G, was a very prim and proper conservative southern lady in her 50’s or early 60’s. One day, after working here for 3-4 years my coworker mentioned that Woody Harrelson might be stopping by this week. What? Woody Harrelson? Why would he be stopping here? I asked. Well, his dad died and he is picking up or dropping off some effects or legal paperwork for G. I looked at her like she was growing an arm out of her head. What does G have to do with Woody Harrelson’s dad? I asked. You don’t know? Everyone knows, but no one mentions it. Well no one mentioned it to me in 4 years I told her. She told me an abbreviated history of the elder Harrelson which I had read about once but didn’t give it much thought at the time. She then told me that G had prison-married Harrelson at some point. Whaaaaaat? Yes, somehow, this proper church-going southern woman had been prison married to a professional contract hitman, one Mr. Harrelson. There was of course, no way to ask more about this most interesting story so the details of which, I shall never know about.
What this video doesn’t tell you is woody harrelson has proof his dad was working for the cia. And that he knew for a fact his dad didnt commit one of the crimes
I don't feel any differently about Woody. Great actor. His dad's actions have nothing to do with him!
Do you feel the same when some lowlife kid shoots at the cops or do you begrudge the parents, just curious.

THAT should be the shaming here
Like an inverse of the character he played in The Man from Toronto, with Kevin Hart being the salesman and Woody being a hitman.
He said, once, in an interview he was trying to correct the title “death by a salesman”

The 4 owners were 1 older sister and 3 younger brothers, the youngest was in his 40’s.The sister G, was a very prim and proper conservative southern lady in her 50’s or early 60’s.
One day, after working here for 3-4 years my coworker mentioned that Woody Harrelson might be stopping by this week. What? Woody Harrelson? Why would he be stopping here? I asked. Well, his dad died and he is picking up or dropping off some effects or legal paperwork for G.
I looked at her like she was growing an arm out of her head. What does G have to do with Woody Harrelson’s dad? I asked. You don’t know? Everyone knows, but no one mentions it. Well no one mentioned it to me in 4 years I told her.
She told me an abbreviated history of the elder Harrelson which I had read about once but didn’t give it much thought at the time. She then told me that G had prison-married Harrelson at some point. Whaaaaaat?
Yes, somehow, this proper church-going southern woman had been prison married to a professional contract hitman, one Mr. Harrelson. There was of course, no way to ask more about this most interesting story so the details of which, I shall never know about.
What this video doesn’t tell you is woody harrelson has proof his dad was working for the cia. And that he knew for a fact his dad didnt commit one of the crimes
I'm sure Woody Harrelson just loves you for making this public. How nice of you.
I never knew this about Woody's father...Glad he turned out to be a modern human being. He and Brett looks like their father.
just curious of what time that picture was taken at 1:02 and 6:27 because that background sure does look like the school book depository.
Love your voice!
$2,000 dollars in 1965 Is the equivalent of $19,163 in 2023.
Is son like father? Absolutely Not!
Hi Weird History, please advise the title of the music starting at 7:51
just saying woody shoulda gotten an oscar, and his dad doesnt change that
Why am I not being notified of your new videos?
My Dad was friends with Woody's dad when they were in high school in Huntsville, Texas. True story.
His father was killing people in 1957, but he was discharged from the navy in 1959. That doesn’t make much sense
Yep they got the dates of the first murder wrong. Alan Berg was killed 68 not 58.
So then if they get a simple thing like that wrong, how many videos on this channel have false information?
So Woody Harrelson's dad was the original Cletus Kasady
Interesting!
Do wish you had put everything in order though. The timeline was hard to follow.
Woodys a great actor and director you don’t hold him for what his dad did. Keep going woody
Great video. Did you misspell your own hashtag?
Please do a weird history topic about sending messages using pigeons
Damn, dad is a hitman and mother's maiden name is Oswald?
His dad has a dark secret.
5:40 GET YOUR DATES RIGHT! - it was 1979, NOT 1970
I noticed it too... How the hell do you mention 1979 and five seconds later 1970 and you don't notice it before posting the video?!
Woody is the man 👊 one my favorite actors of all time and already heard about him being involved in the JFK shooting.
I like the fact that Woody is man enough to bear no ill will towards his father! Could have lot to do with how his mother brought him up.
Woody is like Finn Mertens and his dad is Martin Mertens... for anyone who watches Adventure Time
