Tony Gill’s Laramie/Robert Fuller siteThe world discovered Robert Fuller with the arrival on TV of the show Laramie. Two brothers, Slim, played by John Smith and young Andy were determined to hold onto their ranch after the death of their father. But they needed help. Well, who should wander into their area of the Wyoming Territory but drifter Jess Harper. From 1959 until 1963 Robert Fuller was Jess Harper, a role he was born to play.

That’s because Fuller did two Wagon Train episodes as guest star before he became a full time cast member. In 1957 he played in the Ella Lindstrom Story (ep. # 2.18) and the Kate Parker Story (ep. #2.31). His role as Chris in Kate Parker (left and right) was one of Wagon Train’s most memorable.
From the Megan Herring CollectionIn 1963 Robert Fuller joined the Wagon Train permanent cast as scout Cooper “Coop” Smith.
From the Megan Herring CollectionIn 1972, Robert Fuller assumed a starring role in Jack Webb’s Emergency! Fuller easily shed his cowboy gear to become Dr. Kelly Brackett M.D./F.A.C.S.
