Thanks, Clint, for making my childhood as great as it was during the heyday of TV westerns. Yours was one of the best.

It’s been a long time since I saw the movie but I enjoyed it.
Walker was in a lot of movies I liked.

RIP Clint Walker.
I think he used to turn up on Mark Levin's show back in the day too. A conservative.

He played in a 1970’s monster flick called Snowbeast and another crazy 70’s flick called Kill Dozer about a bulldozer affected by something from outer space causing it killing construction workers on a site. Both top notch drive in flicks.

He looks just like the original comic book Superman and would have made a great one if he was cast in the 60s.

Afterthought. Really POd me when they put the pygmy in the role.Me too. In the books, Jack reacher is an NFL-linebacker sized man. So when it comes to make the movie they cast.... TomCruise?!

I think he was in a short-lived TV series back in the seventies called Kodiak.
It was at the same time of two other series, Kojak
and Kolchak.

He was born in the tiny southwestern Illinois oil refinery town of Hartford, where Lewis and Clark spent the winter before heading up the Missouri.

On Saturday afternoons, I used to iron my father’s uniforms while he cleaned his guns and we watched old Western shows on the “U” channel.

In May 1971, Walker narrowly escaped death in a skiing accident at Mammoth Mountain, California. In a fall from a ski lift, Walker was pierced through the heart with a ski pole. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. However, a doctor detected faint signs of life and rushed Walker to surgery, where his damaged heart was repaired. Within two months, Walker was working again.
Wow. His heart held out for almost another 50 years.

Great theme song medley Cheyenne — Bronco — Sugarfoot, when the three shows shared a time spot.
