geboren 26-03-1946, Los Angeles, California, USA. Er war in vielen Filmen und TV Programmen, aber das populärste man war THE RIFLEMAN. http://imdb.com/name/nm0186844/
Ich hab da auch noch ein paar Bilder auf der Platte liegen...
Wo ich gerade in den Archiven am stöbern bin... Gibt es von den Filmen
mit ihm irgendetwas auf DVD käuflich zu erwerben sei es nun hierzulande
oder in den Staaten ?
Wir verlangen, das Leben müsse einen Sinn haben,
aber es hat nur genau so viel Sinn wie wir ihm geben.
Danke, Lord Greystoke. Since my German skill is still limited I will answer this in English. This company owns the rights to THE RIFLEMAN but the DVD collection is not available at the moment.

I have a few episodes on old VHS tape and I will attempt to get some screen captures.
Enjoy
Mir ist übrigens - weil ich wieder auf Johnny Crawford gestoßen bin - eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit Misha Smirnov aufgefallen. Schade, dass es wohl nur die erste Staffel hierzulande auf DVD gibt, aber ich glaube ich werde sie mir demnächst mal holen. Sehr sympathischer YS.
Bin gerade dabei mir sämtliche Folgen von "Westlich von Santa Fé" anzusehen; lief zu meiner Zeit leider nicht im TV.
Als Sänger war Johnny Crawford übrigens auch aktiv.

Exclusive interview with the Crawford brothers! Johnny and Robert Crawford, Jr, went on stage together at
The Autry Museum in September 2018 to share their early show biz adventures. In 1955, ages 9 and 11, the
boys were asked to appear on a new afternoon network kid show to demonstrate their youthful fencing abilities.
The series was "The Mickey Mouse Club" and marked the beginning of two successful careers. The Crawford
boys both ended up in hit western series. Johnny, of course, was Mark McCain on "The Rifleman" with Chuck
Connors. Bobby was cast as Andy Sherman, John Smith's brother on "Laramie" with Robert Fuller and Hoagy
Carmichael. Ironically, both young actors received Emmy nominations the same year, 1959. Due to Johnny's
early stages of Alzheimer's Disease, his older brother did most of the talking with Johnny jumping in when he
was able. You can see that he was still alert and wanted to speak, but found it increasingly more difficult.
As we post this interview, Oct 4, 2020, even those abilities are now gone. We think you will enjoy the Crawford's
together and hearing Bobby's own exciting journey. They were, and are, brothers of the saddle! Johnny is a
dear friend and it is heartbreaking to see how the disease has ravaged the memories of someone with whom
many of us have grown up. We were blessed to be able to have them join us and now we share this exclusive
appearance with their fans. Johnny's family and friends have all been there for him, but he still needs much
care and assistance.
Johnny Crawford! Bobby Crawford! THE RIFLEMAN & LARAMIE stars tell how it all began! AWOW
