Bob Steele
Bob Steele in The Carson City Kid (1940)

Born Robert North Bradbury Jr. (January 23, 1907 – December 21, 1988), American actor Bob Steele and his twin brother Bill were the sons of film director Robert N. Bradbury.[1] The twins began their acting career in the silent film The Adventures of Bob and Bill, directed by their father, and continued in a series of Bradbury Sr.'s film shorts. Bill later pursued a career in medicine. Bob continued to act under his real name, until The Mojave Kid when he was billed as Bob Steele.[2] During his career of more than 200 films and television shows between 1920 and 1974, he was known primarily for his work in Westerns. Steele appeared as the recurring character of Tucson Smith in several of the Three Mesquiteers serials produced by Republic Pictures.[2] He became familiar to America's television audiences for his recurring role as Trooper Duffy in the comedy series F Troop.[3]
