Robert Conrad was an American film and television actor, singer, and stuntman. He is best known for his role in the 1965–69 television series The Wild Wild West, playing the sophisticated Secret Service agent James T. West. He portrayed World War II ace Pappy Boyington in the television series Baa Baa Black Sheep.

I remember we watched that every week in the only TV in our dorm that had cable. No one argued about what we would watch. There would be 30 or 40 of us in the lobby lounge watching.

Conrad and Ross Martin were great co-stars in The Wild, Wild West. One of my all-time favorite series.

Conrad also starred in the short-lived High Mountain Rangers, with his two sons. (Lousy actors). Theme song was sung by Lee Greenwood.

I'm pretty sure he lied about his age and was really 90

Possibly my all time fave Columbo murderer

Too bad they fricked up the reboot

It's been 20 years. Maybe someone will do it right.

Damn. I loved the Black Sheep Squadron as a kid. Now my son lives watching it with me.

Universal bought his memoir and intended to film it in 1958 w/Robert Mitchum. But for some reason that didn't happen.

No doubt... I grew up in Kentucky in the 70’s and they played reruns of this every afternoon. Loved this show. Jim West was the coolest!
