In 2007, a man saved Dusty Hill's life by cutting off his beard — on TV, that is. In the Fox animated series "King of the Hill," the lead character, Hank Hill, spends the episode dealing with the wild ways of his rocker cousin, Dusty. At one point, Dusty competes in a demolition derby driving Hank's Cadillac. Unfortunately, he smashes it, and it catches on fire. Dusty tries to flee the vehicle, but he realizes his huge beard is caught in the safety belt. Hank is able to free his cousin, but only after cutting off part of his facial hair.

Hill told Ultimate Classic Rock that he wasn't exactly keen on the scene, at least at first. He explained, "I so identified with my animated self that I protested. 'You can't snip his beard!'" However, he finally agreed to the storyline, explaining: "I realized it was a cartoon and they could just draw his (my) beard back. I really bought into it!" At the end of the episode, Dusty apologizes for destroying Hank's car, and Hank apologizes for chopping off the beard, to which Dusty's animated self responds: "Oh, she'll grow back." This prompts Hank to respond, "Your beard's a girl?"
