Attended Amarillo High School. There is a letter sweater from him in the trophy cases (saved from 1970 fire in the older school).
Attended The University of Texas at Austin in mid-1950s and was in ROTC.
Hosted a game show in the early 1980s called "Face the Music" (1980). A delightful trademark of his performance was his tendency to preface a statement to the contestants with the introductory identifier, "Contestants!"
The former "Tarzan" appeared in a rare guest spot on the jungle adventure "Sheena" (2000) in the 2001-2002 season.
