Reel Cowboys of the Santa Susanas -- Robert Livingston


Robert Livingston (1904 – 1988) was an American actor and B-Western cowboy star. He made over 135 films between 1921 and 1975.

His break into film came in 1936, when Republic signed him to play the role of a masked hero in the serial The Vigilantes Are Coming (1936).  He played the original role of "Stony Brooke" in the "Three Mesquiteers" Western B-movie series (a role was later played by John Wayne).  He made more appearances in Three Mesquiteers (29) than anyone else. 

He played Zorro in The Bold Caballero (1936), portrayed the Lone Ranger in The Lone Ranger Rides Again (1939), worked with Al St. John in the "Lone Rider" Series (1941-43) and finished up in a number of character parts in Gene Autry and Roy Rogers movies.
