My Take

Richard Boone is one of those craggy, unmistakably masculine faces that defined the golden age of the TV Western, and I find his work holds up better than a lot of his peers'. Playing Paladin in Have Gun – Will Travel, he gave us a gunfighter who quoted Shakespeare and dressed like a dandy off the job, which felt genuinely subversive for the era. Stanford-educated and trained on the stage before Hollywood, he brought a thinking-man's edge to roles that could have been pure brawn. Across more than fifty films, that intelligence under the toughness is what makes him linger in my memory.
