Description
From 1955 to 1957, swimmer turned actor Buster Crabbe starred in the TV adventure series Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion (known as Foreign Legionnaire in syndication), co-starring his real-life son Cullen and cowboy sidekick Fuzzy Knight.
Production Note: Buster Crabbe originally requested his longtime B-movie Western sidekick, Al "Fuzzy" St. John, for the comic relief role. The producers mistakenly hired Fuzzy Knight instead, believing him to be the "Fuzzy" that Crabbe had requested.
