Episode 52: The Cowboy Counsellor

Everyone in the SCV knows (or should know) about the SCV actor William S. Hart.  Some may know about others that worked and lived in our valley like Harry Carey and Tom Mix.  But a lot of folks may not know about another actor associated with the SCV who, in his day, was just as popular:  Hoot Gibson.

Carey and Hart were masters of the serious, icy persona…  Mix was the king of action.  Hoot on the other hand had a different quality to recommend him, and it sure wasn’t his looks.  Hoot’s calling card was his humor!  He is a cowboy that doesn’t carry a gun very often, but his weapon of choice was a funny line, placed effortlessly in his dialog as he got the better of the bad guys.

Join us for a hoot of a good time, featuring Hoot Gibson in Cowboy Counselor!
