Robert Fuller

“I am a veteran of the Korean War.”

“Don 'Red' Barry, Bob Steele, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Joel McCrea. I met every one of my favorite cowboys from when I was a kid, and got to work with them all, but never, ever got to meet Johnny Mack Brown.”

“My father taught me the way to use guns.”

“I like westerns; I like the people I work with and I like working outdoors.”

“I didn't want to be a TV medic.”

“I was so accustomed to playing cowboys I wasn't sure I could portray an educated doctor.”

“There is something basic about fishing that goes back to man's very beginnings.”

“I don't try to act like somebody else. I just act the way I myself would act in a given situation.”

“If you can't handle a gun properly, hang it up over the fireplace empty.”

“To be honest 'Laramie' had a good message and was a good, good western with good characters, direction, and camera work.”

“I had appeared on a lot of sports shows including 'The American Sportsman' shooting wild turkey and white tail deer in Texas.”

“Bobby Troup gets heavy fan mail.”

“I like my privacy. I like to stay home.”

“When you cross a barb-wire fence give the gun to your partner before going over. Then have him hand it back to you before you let him cross.”

“I would have loved to have been a director.”

“I don't go with the old saw about not keeping a loaded gun around. But I do say, treat every gun as if it was loaded.”

“Jess Harper was Robert Fuller, particularly in those days. I lived the cowboy life.”

“Eight years is an awfully long time for a series to be on television.”

“Nobody wants to see a bland period western. Who wants to see a cowboy carrying a purse?”

“I went out in a blaze of glory in one of the old west episodes of 'Walker, Texas Ranger.'”
