Mini Biography

A former university athlete in the University of Texas, Fess studied theatre in the first fifties and debuted in Springfield Rifle (1952). He produced only a small number of films until he was authorized by Walt Disney to celebrity in the “Davy Crockett” series. When Walt wanted an actor to try out the component of Davy, he screened the sci-fi film Them! (1954) with Wayne Arness. When he noticed Fess inside a picture, he selected him over Arness and Fess became an instantaneous superstar when “Davy Crockett, Ruler of the Crazy Frontier” debuted in 1955. His charm with kids was enormous using the coon-skinned head wear, the #1 strike track “The Ballad Of Davy Crockett”, The Davy Crockett Bubble Gum Credit cards and Comic Books. However the trend ended nearly as fast since it were only available in 1956, and Fess was typecast. Fess made an appearance in additional Disney films dealing with the first many years of Davey and in addition in non-Crockett parts such as for example Aged Yeller (1957). By 1959, struggling to accomplish the achievement that he previously obtained as Crockett, his profession experienced leveled off. He produced guest looks on several tv shows, but his attempted go back to tv in the series Mr. Smith Would go to Washington (1962) had not been successful. Struggling to procure the privileges to try out Crockett from Disney, Fess attempted the frontiersman part once more with it series Daniel Boone (1964). He performed this function for six years and the actual fact that he previously a lovely red-headed wife within a color series didn’t hurt him in any way. After Daniel Boone (1964), Fess retired in the screen and proceeded to go into property, which was rewarding. He was afterwards compelled to sue his “Daniel Boone” manufacturers over the gains generated with the series.
