Happy birthday to Wagon Train actors Robert Fuller and Robert Horton
In 1962, Robert Horton left the popular western Wagon Train after its fifth season. He wished to work more in musical theater. His character of Flint McCullough, the tough hero and scout of the slow moving caravan traveling from Missouri to California, was eventually replaced by another scout, Cooper Smith. The rough and stoic Smith was played by Robert Fuller.
Here's a coincidence: Both Fuller and Horton were born on the same day, July 29, albeit nine years apart.
Fuller is a born western man. Before riding atop his horse Gambler on Wagon Train, he starred in NBC's Laramie. In his late life, he has become a horse rancher in northern Texas. Of course, in between, the ruggedly handsome actor played Dr. Kelly Brackett on Emergency!.
In 2008, Fuller was inducted into the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Today, he turns 82.
