James Arness! Gregory Peck! Victor French! Shoot outs with Robert F. Lyons! A WORD ON WESTERNS!

When New York actor Robert F. Lyons moved to Hollywood, his first acting job was in the Rod Serling/Lloyd Bridges western series, THE LONER. Signed by Screen Gems, Lyons appeared in the company’s Dale Robertson series, THE IRON HORSE, and the western comedy PISTOLS ‘N’ PETTICOATS. Lyons learned that in westerns, delivering lines on horseback was part of the process. He wasn’t sure how he felt when the director told him to climb up a ladder and sit while he did his scene pretending to be mounted. What would you think? Lyons’ NY roommate was HIGH CHAPARRAL star Mark Slade who took Robert riding and also introduced him to BONANZA/CHAPARRAL creator/producer David Dortort. Other westerns for Bob followed, including THE OUTCASTS, BONANZA, and a terrific color hour long episode of GUNSMOKE, “Major Glory,” directed by Robert Totten and featuring Victor French and Carol O’Connor. When veteran director Henry Hathaway was looking for a lead villain for SHOOT OUT, his follow-up to TRUE GRIT, he selected Lyons as the leader of a trio of gunmen out to get Gregory Peck. Lyon’s cohorts were Pepe Serna and John Davis Chandler. The cast was loaded with an array of top character actors, including, Paul Fix, Jeff Corey, Susan Tyrell, James Gregory, Arthur Hunnicutt and Pat Quinn. With over 100 credits, Robert’s films, in addition to his westerns, include such hits as PLATOON LEADER, AVENGING ANGEL and DEATH WISH II. This conversation with producer/host Rob Word took place in Los Angeles, Dec 13, 2022, at The Autry. #awordonwesterns #westernfilms #actor #jamesarness #gregorypeck #shootout #highchaparral #bonanza #filmdirector #Robertflyons #actor #characteractor #robword #henryhathaway #hollywood #retro #interviewer #interview #podcast #talkshow
