Tom and John [Schneider] had an appearance in Cincinnati that was cancelled because people thought that The Dukes of Hazzard was racist because of the Confederate flag on the roof of the General Lee.
Tom is currently facing driving while intoxicated and reckless driving charges in Ringwood, New Jersey, after hitting traffic cones and nearly colliding with a Ringwood Police car March 22, 2006.
In The Dukes of Hazzard, when it was Luke who was driving and Bo was riding shotgun, both John [Schneider] and Tom have said that it's harder climbing through the windows 'cause they weren't used to getting in on that side of the car.
Tom: (On his experiences on "The Dukes"): I had a wonderful time. I developed relationships that I've held in good stead, I learned both the responsibility a leading man has in a show, and I learned how to direct.
Tom(On auditioning for 'Luke Duke'): I read the script in New York on Tuesday and was on a plane that night for Los Angeles. My screen test was on Friday and 10 days later I was in Georgia for filming.
