๐Ÿ“˜ Biography

Guy Madison, born Robert Ozell Moseley, was an American film and television actor best known for his rugged good looks and roles in Westerns. He became a popular screen icon during the 1940s and 1950s, especially for his portrayal of Wild Bill Hickok in the long-running television series The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok.

Madisonโ€™s career began in earnest after a chance appearance in a war film during WWII, which led to a contract with David O. Selznick. Though he was initially cast for his appearance rather than acting experience, he soon proved capable in action and romantic roles.

Throughout the 1950s, Madison became a staple in American and European Westerns, building a devoted fan base. His calm demeanor and commanding presence made him a natural fit for cowboy roles. He later worked in Italian films during the 1960s before retiring from acting in the early 1980s.
