Personal Quote:
[on Have Gun - Will Travel (1957)] It was a ridiculous thing, but I don't ever have to worry about money. As a result of playing Paladin, I have what is known to actors as a lot of go-to-hell money. See more »Trivia:
He often smoked 60-100 cigarettes a day. See more »Trademark:
Deep commanding voice that sounded more raspy and gravelly in later years. See more »Nickname:
