Duane Lee “Dog” Chapman and his wife, Beth Chapman, rose to celebrity in 2004 when their escapades chasing fugitives and bail jumpers were documented on the A&E reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Duane Chapman was a television standout with his long blond hair, signature wraparound shades, and iconoclastic look. The show became such a huge hit that it furthered the network’s mission to shift brands from their “Arts & Entertainment” origins to more populist programming.
