who played paladin in have gun will travel
Richard Boone Boone's next television series, Have Gun – Will Travel, made him a national star because of his role as Paladin, the intelligent and sophisticated, but tough, gun-for-hire in the late 19th-century American West. The show had first been offered to actor Randolph Scott, who turned it down and gave the script to Boone while they were making the film Ten Wanted Men.[6] The show ran from 1957–63, with Boone receiving two more Emmy nominations, in 1959 and 1960.
