My big crush from old westerns besides Robert Conrad was an actor named William Smith on a TV show called Laredo 1965-1967. They managed to find a way to get him shirtless in nearly every episode, much to my enjoyment. He has had a full career in acting from 1942-2014 and is still alive at 82 yo.

I have a complete run of Laredo on DVD, and unfortunately William Smith is shirtless only here and there in the whole two seasons. Worse, Laredo must have had hetero directors, but sometimes he's shirtless but the camera doesn't pick him up properly.
But if there ever was an actor who sizzled even in clothes, it was Smith.

R15 Well it has been over 40 years since I have seen an episode of Laredo I suppose, but I still remember an episode where William Smith was tied up bare chested arms over head from a tree with some crazy native American woman lusting after him.
Offsite Linkby Anonymous | reply 18 | May 7, 2016 3:10 AM |
Yes, R18, that is the outstanding Laredo episode, because even though the idiot director refuses to photograph Smith properly when he takes his shirt off (because it's so hot and sunny), he does get tied up like that. (Though having his arms up like that ruins the lay of his chest muscles.) Extra fun: the Indian woman who takes a shine to him because of his physique is Shelly Morrison, later Rosario on Will & Grace.
There are about seven or eight other episodes in which Smith is shirtless in Laredo, and they vary from inconclusively shot to definitive. It was the same with Van Williams in Surfside 6 and Clint Walker in Cheyenne. Because the shirtless stuff was usually so gratuitous, it stands out in memory, and we think of it as ubiquitous. But that's only because skin was not as common then as now.

John Smith was tall and handsome but he had absolutely no build, which was unusual for those Henry Willson types on ABC western and detective series. He was also the worst of them all acting. He made Clint Walker look like Judith Anderson.
And it didn't take much effort to get into shape in those days. Robert Conrad always stood out for his muscles, but nowadays he'd be the smallest guy in your gym.

I disagree about John Smith about his build. He was lean, but had good muscle tone and the fact that he was slightly bow-legged and pigeon toed made him that much hotter. He wasn't built to play Tarzan, but he was in no less shape than any of the other TV studs back then.

Not exactly. I've been watching a lot of Laramie and Cheyenne lately, and Clint, as wonderful as he was to look at, was one of the most wooden, monotone TV actors of the time. He had no vocal inflection and only had one way of emoting. John in Laramie did manage to convey anger, joy and sadness convincingly.

LARAMIE was obviously made with a lot of gay people on the production team, because the clothes, the intimate scenes between Fuller and poor John Smith, the near-constant S&M, the ass and crotch shots were just too prominent, well-let, and lingering.
Great fun. It really was a love story, with lots of misunderstandings (Fuller and Smith beat the shit out of each other regularly, and then would dress each other's wounds, shirtless. And the famous scene of Fuller standing up from a bathtub with his wet long-johns perfectly clinging to his crotch and ass was one for the record books. In an era afraid of any indication that men had genitalia and two buttocks, LARAMIE played like soft porn.

R31: In those shots, John Smith is in fine shape. But I saw some Laramie reruns a few years ago, and he definitely wasn't anything like that.
Is it possible that he started the series au naturel and then got into weight training out of vanity, job security, or whatever? The other one who didn't stack up in terms of physical fitness was another blond, Troy Donahue. In Surfside 6, he sometimes appeared with an open shirt but never literally topless.

Agree with all of this, which is why I call it the Brokeback Mountain of the '60s. "Slim" and "Jess" were clearly in love with each other from the moment they laid eyes on each other in the pilot episode.
About that episode, it ends with Slim catching up to Jess on horseback, the latter who was on his way out of town, and almost begging him to stay on at the ranch. Throughout the series run, it's clear that they're both in love with each other.
You could also literally tell what both men looked like naked with the way their asses and VPL were showcased in those super tight pants. It's funny that the censors had a hissy fit over Barbara Eden's midriff on I Dream of Jeannie, but you could easily flip the channel and see exactly which side of his pants John Smith was stuffed down on that evening's episode of Laramie.

Conrad claimed he was 5" 9" but he was actually 5' 7". He wore heels that gave him an extra 2-3 inches. He was super sensitive about his height and used to get into brawls in bars when people called him short. Which, apparently, lots of people did.

Supposedly Conrad had gone to a hustler named CHARLES MANSON. Conrad attended the 1st day of the Helter Skelter trial - no one knew why. Manson is the one who claimed Conrad came on to him but he was turned off by his cowboy act.
There was an ep of Laramie where Jess is kidnapped, bound and gagged by guest star Jan Merlin who wants Jess out of the way to kill Slim. It was so homoerotic. Fuller was tied up for 80% of the episode.
