Career
In the early 1920s, he moved to
Los Angeles, California, and started working as an auto mechanic. His real-life experiences growing up on a horse ranch landed bit parts for him in westerns from 1925, for Paramount Pictures. Studio executives suggested changing his name to Lane Chandler, and as such he began achieving leading roles opposite stars like Clara Bow, Greta Garbo, Betty Bronson and Esther Ralston. His first lead role was in The Legion of the Condemned
.
As a
Cheyenne, and Gunsmoke
(as “Trumbull” in the S7E10 titled “Indian Ford” in 1961 & as “Luke” in the S8E8’s “The Trappers” in 1962); many of these TV series appearances were bit parts with no billing at all. He continued acting on TV and in films through 1966, retiring comfortably due to his holdings in both residential and commercial properties.
He died in Los Angeles of heart disease in 1972, aged 73.
