Ty Hardin
Best known as Bronco Layne, in the long running TV Series Bronco, Ty Hardin started his acting career after walking into a western clothing store looking for a costume for a Halloween party and that as they say was history. Ty starred in several creature feature type movies until moving on to the American Western. Starring as an alternating walk on cast member Bronco :) starred in Maverick, Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, and his own show Bronco which lasted 4 seasons and was one of the top TV shows in the country. Ty also starred abroad in several Spaghetti Westerns and in Australia he had his own TV show Riptide.
While making westerns he filmed the epic war movie Merrill's Marauders as Lt. Stockton in 1962, in PT-109 as Ens. Lenny Thom in 1963, in The Battle of the Bulge as Schumacher in 1965, and in Custer of the West as Maj. Marcus Reno in 1967. I asked him about these movies and he told me that he enjoyed making them and he enjoys acting. Ty has been selective about what he does but when he does it he is all professional. Ty has continued his service to his country outside by being a proud patriot and America is proud to have him as one.
Ty served in the US Army for 5 years of which he was overseas during the Korean War for 3. We thank Bronco for his time and his service to our country!
