The name of the one-armed man that Dr. Richard Kimble pursues on the U.S. TV series "The Fugitive" (1963-1967) is Fred Johnson. To make Johnson's identity as the one-armed man clear to everyone, the one-armed man is identified as Fred Johnson in the two-part series finale, "The Judgment". The key role of Fred Johnson, the one-armed man, is played by Bill Raisch.

Bill Raisch's character is a shadowy figure, seen fleeing Kimble's house by Dr. Kimble after the murder of Helen Kimble. The series revealed little about the guy's personal life, especially not how or when he lost his right arm.

In the 29th episode of the first season ("Storm Center"), it is revealed that Helen Kimble was strangled. This is not viewed as the method of choice for a man with only one arm.

In the entire series, the one-armed man is rarely ever seen; he appeared in person in only ten episodes. Also, he appears in the opening credits beginning with season two, and in a photograph in the episode "The Breaking of the Habit". He was seen infrequently in the first three seasons and has almost no actual dialogue until season four. This is the season when his character begins to have a prominent role in the plotline of the series.

Within the series, the one-armed man is keenly aware that Dr. Kimble is after him. He will frequently tip off the police (when he knows) about Kimble's whereabouts. It was only a matter of time. The two men were fated to face off and finally resolve their raucous situation.
