Alan Hale Jr on THE GENE AUTRY SHOW

[Smilings]

On the first 41 episodes on the Gene Autry Show, Alan Hale Jr appeared 9 times playing 8 different characters.
Sometimes even one episode apart!
What a versatile actor.

The only good guy he played was Pat Buttram’s buddy Tiny in 19 and 21.

Usually Alan was the heavy.
Alan’s best bad guy role is in Horse Sense, where he’s a horse thief cruel to animals and eventually gets his from Gene’s horse Champion.

Each episode of Gene Autry where Alan Hale was a bad hombre, at least once, sometimes twice, 6’2” Alan would get punched out in a fist fight by the 5’9” Gene.

...and no one recognized him.

"Gene, I got a feeling I've seen that rascal before."

"Don't jump to conclusons, Pat. You know the West is full of 6'2" blond guys."
