Clint Walker (May 30, 1927 - May 21, 2018) was born Norman Eugene Walker in Hartford, Illinois, U.S.. Before finding success in Hollywood he worked in factories, on a riverboat, had a brief spell in the U.S. Merchant Marine, was a hotel doorman and nightclub bouncer.

Walker first appeared on screen in “Jungle Gents”, a 1954 comedy film starring The Bowery Boys in which he made an uncredited appearance at the end of the film. His first credited role in a film was as a Sardinian Captain in the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille epic, “The Ten Commandments”.

“The Ten Commandments” tells the story of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of the enslaved Hebrews, leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai and receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. The film stars Charlton Heston in the lead role, Yul Brynner as Rameses, Anne Baxter as Nefretiri along with Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo, Debra Paget, and John Derek. At the time of its release it was the most expensive film ever made.

Walker’s first feature starring roles came in the Westerns “Fort Dobbs,” “Yellowstone Kelly” and “Gold of the Seven Saints” (1958, 1959, 1961, all directed by Gordon Douglas).

“Cheyenne”, for which Walker was best known, was an American Western television series of 108 black-and-white episodes broadcast on ABC from 1955 to 1962. The show was the first hour-long Western, and the first hour-long dramatic series of any kind, with continuing characters, to last more than one season.
