Personal Details
Other Works:
Radio: Starred in the series "Johnny Madero, Pier 23". NOTE: It was almost identical in style and plot to Webb's earlier radio series "Pat Novak for Hire", but that program continued with a different star after Webb left San Francisco for Hollywood, so the network was forced to change the program's title.

Personal Quote:
[on Julie London] Julie was a hell of an actress--people forget--before she became a singer.Trivia:
When he approached young and unknown actor Randolph Mantooth to play the role of Johnny Gage in Emergency! (1972), Mantooth--like his future co-star Robert Fuller--also politely turned down the role. Webb also wouldn't take no for an answer, and told Mantooth what he told Fuller: "Shut up and sit down!". See more »Trademark:
Flat, concise delivery of lines See more »Star Sign:
