    I definitely recall this fine actor .... er personality.

    He had a good point about it not being acting too.

    Some alleged actors only are themselves telling the story in their own personality.

    I wonder, isn't George Clooney that way too? Tommy Lee Jones?

    Absolutely do remember him, more from Tales of Wells Fargo...on black and white tv at the time.

    RIP Mr. Robertson. Prayers go out to your family, and friends. Many of the Truly Good Men are leaving us.

    So, this is for them.

    What I admired as a kid was his personality came through in every role that he played. You know kind of like William Boyd of Hop Along Cassidy fame.

    Was without a doubt a highly principled man. Can not recall any scandals about his career or his private life.
    Just like the many WW2 veterans most gone and the last few about to go soon.--Tyr

    You know guys, we are blessed. We actually got to see the movies of the living legends.

    Few of those type actors are on these days.

    I owe an example. Bridge on the River Kwai.

    We got to see Loren Green act. We got to see Steve McQueen.

    Sure, people can look up the old good movies and see them on DVD or netflix, but when we saw them they were popular at the time.
