Robert Fuller just looks like a guy who belongs in westerns. And sure enough, a lot of his career involved westerns. He starred in the TV series, Laramie, and Wagon Train, as well as Walker, Texas Ranger. And then there was his work as Vin in Return of the Seven.

I also know that Robert starred in Emergency, though I have to admit I didn’t watch it. In addition, I don't know much about Fuler’s private life, which indicates that maybe it wasn’t chaotic. Now, on to some facts about Robert Fuller.

1: Robert was born Leonard Leroy Lee on July 29, 1933.

That doesn’t sound very cowboyish. That LLL is kind of neat. Much better than KKK.

2: His parents owned a dance studio in Florida.

Once again, that doesn’t seem very cowboyish. I’ve heard of singing cowboys, but dancing cowboys, not so much.

3: Early in his career, Robert was a dancer, stuntman, and extra.

I don’t see cowboy in that.

4: Robert had uncredited parts in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Calamity Jane.
