My bad. Actually and yes true, Richard Boone was the first that came to mind. But i then crossed over into regular movies and lost track of the category.

My very first crush was Dorothy Collins, though she wasn't principally in movies.She is from Your Hit Parade.

Dargo, I don't think responses here should ever be questioned. It's about what the responder wants to post, not what was in the mind of the person who set the post.

I agree with Ziggy and Dargo. If the post does not fit the question, it can be questioned. In this case it was probably just forgetting which thread, lafitte was probably thinking of the film thread, it happens to all of us every now and then.

I agree it has to vaguely fit the question, and not be outrageously out of line, but there's a wide berth. The first poster should not be "going for" a specific response.

No one is saying that anyone should be looking for a specific response. Dargo mentioned Richard Boone and Have Gun Will Travel because that answer would fit the question. The question specifically was asking about TV, not film. Laffite's answer of Gary Cooper and Along Came Jones did not fit , since that was a film and Gary Cooper never appeared in a TV western series but an example of Richard Boone and Have Gun Will Travel would be an appropriate answer. Dargo used it as an example of what would be an appropriate answer . No one is saying that there are right and wrong answers, just that it has to fit the thread.

Maybe the safe thing to do is not to name the source movie or TV show. We're only obliged to name the actor!

Swithin, it wouldn't have mattered if lafitte left out Along Came Jones, lafitte's answer of Gary Cooper would not fit, since the question asked about an actor in a TV show. Gary Cooper never appeared in a TV show, he was strictly a film actor. Mentioning Along Came Jones was just an add on. This was just lafitte forgetting which thread he was in, no biggie. Mentioning the tv show or film is just an added plus, not mandatory. We all agree that the answer should fit the question, let's leave it at that 😊
