Big and little screen actor Steve McQueen rose to stardom as a bounty hunter Josh Randall on the 1958–61 U.S. western TV series "Wanted: Dead or Alive". This CBS show was the one where McQueen made his television debut. He was a cowboy cavalier and bounty hunter from the American Wild West!

As Josh Randolph, McQueen was a man of few words. He let his mare's leg, an 1892 Winchester sawed-off rifle, do most of his talking as he took on criminals, protected people in need, and battled rival bounty hunters in each exciting and often clever heart pounding episode.

After doing this series, McQueen became one of the first television stars to cross over into comparable status on the big screen. As an actor, his career was seen as successful.

During his life, he was seen by critics and the public as the embodiment of 'cool'. This is even an idea that followed him after his death. McQueen exuded an effortless style that belied his rough and tumble past. People noted his style whether on TV or in films, racing a Triumph motorcycle across a California desert, dueling with other racers at Le Mans, or simply hanging with his pals.

This trick that he had now ensures that his image continues to appear in advertising and pop culture. His persona will always be embraced by cinema, racing, and motorcycle fans. He will continue to be seen as the ultimate guy's guy!
