My Take
Roberts is my kind of actor: a man who walked away from a hit on principle. After making his name as Adam Cartwright on Bonanza, he left the show rather than compromise, then returned to lead Trapper John, M.D. years later. That blend of stubborn integrity and staying power is rare in any era. A Georgia-born stage, screen and singing talent who was also an activist, he carried himself with a backbone you can feel through the screen. He died in 2010, but the example of an artist who refused to coast is exactly the sort of career I admire most.
