Biography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert C. Foulk (May 5, 1908 – February 25, 1989) was an American television and film character actor who portrayed Sheriff H. Miller in the CBS series Lassie from 1958 to 1962.
Television
Between 1953 and 1959, Foulk was in thirteen episodes of the NBC anthology series, The Loretta Young Show. From 1954 to 1957, he was in five episodes as Ed Davis in the sitcom Father Knows Best with Robert Young, when the series aired on NBC. In 1956, he played Jackley in the Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Club serial "The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure".
In 1957 and 1958, Foulk played the outlaw Curly Bill Brocius in three episodes, "Gunslinger from Galeville", "Ride Out at Noon", and "Skeleton Canyon Massacre", of the western television series Tombstone Territory. In 1958, Foulk portrayed Sheriff Brady in the film, The Left Handed Gun. From 1959 to 1960, he had the recurring role of bartender Joe Kingston in the NBC western series Wichita Town. Foulk appeared in five episodes of The Rifleman. He played the blacksmith Toomey in "The Second Witness" (episode 23), "Three Legged Terror" (episode 30) and "Outlaw's Inheritance" (episode 38). He played Johannson in "The Raid" (episode 37) and Herbert Newman in "The Lost Treasure of Canyon Town" (episode 99).
Foulk made four appearances on CBS's Perry Mason, all of them as a law-enforcement officer including the 1958 episode 'The Case of the Buried Clock'. He appeared as the sheriff of Cloverville, California in the two-part episode of The Untouchables, "The Big Train," which dealt with the attempt to free Al Capone from the train transporting him to Alcatraz. He made thirteen appearances on NBC's Bonanza, mostly as a sheriff or deputy sheriff. He also had recurring roles as Mr. Wheeler and Roy Trendall, former Hooterville phone company president, in sixteen episodes of CBS's Green Acres. In 1960, he guest starred in the TV Western Bat Masterson, playing Judge Pete Perkins, the town's crooked judge in S2E30's "Welcome To Paradise". In the early 1970s, Foulk made four guest appearances on CBS's Here's Lucy in various roles.
Personal life and death
In the 1930s, Foulk was married to actress Alice Frost. In 1947, he married Barbara Slater, an actress who appeared in two Three Stooges short features. She left Hollywood in the same year. They remained married until his death in 1989. CLR
