    He was so handsome, and even more so in his 50s and 60s.

      Where are you watching? All I can get is a couple opening minutes of an episode entitled The Deputy. I've tried several platforms. I loved this show back in the day, even more than Gunsmoke.

    I loved watching him in several western movies when he was younger and heavier, he kept getting skinnier as years went by because he was a heavy smoker with emphysema which would eventually take his life. He was good in any role he did.

    Lawman was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I tell you, at 10 years old, he was my first TV crush and he was 30 years older! Forget Peter Brown the other girls liked but I could see John's chiseled handsome looks and that mustache drove me wild-in fact, I have loved mustache's on men ever since then! Thanks for this on an actor who never got to really show his chops! He would have been great in the war movies instead of just westerns.

    Lawman brought order into my life, at first I wouldn’t watch lawman cause he took death vallley days spot. My sister kept telling me to give it a chance, I then became obsessed. Lawman is on three times a day and I have two complete dvd sets, one for the house, and one set poolside. I wear a lawman t shirt every day. Lawman brought order to my life. Thank God for lawman.

    John was my dad's cousin. I never had the chance to meet him but I did meet his sister several years ago. I love family history and this branch of the family is quite rich. His middle name, Lawrence, is a family name and was my grandfather's name.

    I have the first 3 seasons of Lawman, looking for Season 4 now! It was a really good show, and unusual for it's time as, despite being very good, Dan was the first Lawman on TV who wasn't infallible. He was fast, but ran into a couple that were faster. He was smart, but he got tricked a couple of times. He always came out on top, but he had to really work at it at times. That made it more exciting!

      I spent the last few months buying all the Lawman seasons on ebay. I finally got season 4 and still watching season 1. Also...i saw Clint Eastwoods 'Pale Rider' for the very first time last week...and couldnt believe how great the movie is....plus John Russell showed up in the end as the bad guy! I was like woww ..thats Lawman!!!!!

    John Russell I remember when he played the evil Marshall Stockburn and Clint Eastwoods (Preacher) nemesis in the 1985 western Pale Rider and had appeared in another Eastwood western The Outlaw Josey Wales as Bloody Bill Anderson. He went against John Wayne as villain in Rio Bravo
