Clint Walker Cheyenne

Clint considered shooting his shot and as luck would have it, he was quickly introduced to Cecil B. DeMille, who took a liking to him and gave him a role in his then latest film, The Ten Commandments. Shortly thereafter, Clint was offered the role of “Cheyenne Bodie” in the series Cheyenne, which was recorded for eight years.

Cheyenne made history as television’s first hourlong western and introduced Clint to the world as the jack-of-all-trades loner Cheyenne Brodie. Cheyenne placed Walker as one of the new medium’s biggest stars.

When Clint decided to quit Cheyenne, he was offered roles in a number of films, including None But The Brave, The Great Bank Robbery, Send Me No Flowers, The Dirty Dozen, Fort Dobbs, Yellowstone Kelly, Night Of The Grizzly, and Gold Of The Seven Saints. Clint, who has a beautiful singing voice, also recorded an album and ballads for Warner Bros.

Kodiak

Clint made another television series, Kodiak, after Cheyenne, and a number of features and movies for television, including Yuma, The Bounty Man, and Snowbeast. Then followed a freak accident at Mammoth Mountain, where Clint’s heart was pierced by a ski pole. In two months, Clint was back at work in Spain co-starring with the late Telly Savalas in another western, Pancho Villa.

Since then Clint was involved in other projects through the ’90s, such as a Kung Fu episode, The Gamblers Returns, and also joined some of his friends from The Dirty Dozen to work on voices for the production of Small Soldiers.
