Beasley (dog actor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beasley (1978-1992) was an acting dog who starred in the 1989 Tom Hanks movie Turner & Hooch as the dog Hooch. He was a rare Dogue de Bordeaux, though he is often misidentified as a bloodhound. Turner & Hooch is Beasley's only film credit.

Beasley was owned and trained by Clint Rowe who makes a brief appearance in the film as an ASPCA officer. In 1990, movie critic Gene Siskel joked that Beasley would probably take the Oscar due to Hanks' "wooden" appearance in Turner & Hooch.

Beasley died in 1992.
