Knox Pooley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Dr." Knox Pooley is a fictitious used car salesman turned demagogue, portrayed by Fred Dalton Thompson in a story arc of the television series Wiseguy. While Pooley's organization, the "Pilgrims of Promise," is both racist and anti-semitic, the character himself is portrayed as hypocritical and amoral. This was one of Thompson's first roles, and allowed him to display his acting range to advantage.
