Timeline
Actor John Smith was born Robert Errol Van Orden in Los Angeles. He began his career singing with The Robert Mitchell Boy Choir, a group which appeared in two Bing Crosby films, Going My Way (1944) and The Bells of St.
Mary's (1945). His agent Henry Willson, who also gave Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson their names, changed Van Orden's name to "John Smith". Robert Hofler, author of "The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson", reports that an actress identified as Pocahontas Crowfoot was in the courtroom when the name change was granted.
Graduated from Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, California, in 1949. A classmate was future baseball manager Sparky Anderson.
He had just completed starring in 122 episodes of his television series 'Laramie' when he was offered the romantic lead opposite Claudia Cardinale in 'Circus World'. John Wayne requested Smith for the role. Wayne gave him his first credited screen role in 'The High and the Mighty in 1954. At the time, Smith was under contract to Wayne. Smith and John Wayne remained close until Wayne's death.
In We're No Angels (1955), Smith had a small role as "Arnaud", the ship's doctor. Aldo Ray, observing the doctor in full dress whites, says "he looks like a glass of milk".
Met Robert Fuller and Doug McClure in 1956, while working on the movie Friendly Persuasion (1956 (1956), though they didn't all participate in the movie.
When "Laramie" was cancelled at the last minute in 1963, the production company, Revue, offered John a starring role in a new detective series, but Smith declined the offer.
After guest starring as the fire captain in a two-part episode of "Emergency" in 1972, Smith had the option to continue in the role for the series, but chose not to do so.
Was a guest at the very first Festival of The West in 1990. In later years, failing health prevented him from attending.
Smith's former Laramie (1959) co-star and friend of four decades, Robert Fuller, paid tribute to him at the Festival of the West on 20 March 2010, in Scottsdale, Arizona, 15 years after Smith's death in 1995.
