Who is Robert Crawford Jr.?

Robert Lawrence Crawford, Jr., is an American actor who portrayed the character Andy Sherman on the NBC television series Laramie in 1959, 1960, and 1962. He was cast as the younger brother of Slim Sherman, portrayed by John Smith, owner of the fictitious Sherman Ranch and Relay Station some twelve miles east of Laramie, Wyoming. Their co-star was Robert Fuller in the role of former gunfighter Jess Harper and in the first season Hoagy Carmichael as the ranch housekeeper Jonesy. In the third season of Laramie, Crawford's role was superseded that by the young orphan Mike Williams, played by child actor Dennis Holmes.

Before and after Laramie, Crawford appeared in some two dozen film and television productions. His television guest appearances included Walt Disney family adventure series Zorro, The Californians, The Donna Reed Show, National Velvet, Jack Webb's crime drama Dragnet, the ABC war drama series, Combat!, the NBC education drama series, Mr. Novak, and the westerns Rawhide, Cheyenne, and Gunsmoke.
