John Smith was an American actor who rose to fame in the 1950's. He was a formidable talent who has left behind a legacy of great work, much of which was in the western genre. His finest work was in the role of Slim Sherman in the immensely popular television series Laramie.

Rest in peace, John Smith, whose taken name has a funny story to it. He shined as Slim Sherman and his show still is watched anew and bought anew by generations onward. Each episode holds real meaning, and John’s role was pivotal and although the studio had its issues, changing things abruptly season too season, Smith and Robert Fuller held it together for all. Production under John Champion of Laramie was amazingly well done, the scripts and stories and direction all held real meaning. “A Sound of Bells”, as one of my favorite Laramie episodes. We miss and love John, a gentleman and an honorable, “decent” man. May God rest his lovely, funny, intelligent soul

I just discovered Laramie a few months ago on a network named Grit TV. I am hooked. John Smith and Robert Fuller were outstanding. They were just naturals. This series was done before I was born. I have so much fun spotting actors that I only really knew of in their later years and seeing them when they were young. Actors like Eddie Albert, Ernest Borgnine, Cloris Leachman, James Coburn, Nanette Fabray, Jim Davis, George Kennedy, Charles Bronson etc. Laramie is a great show. R.I.P. John Smith.

@Peter78730 6 жыл бұрын

I believe what made "Laramie" such an outstanding series was that it was so realistic. Almost no sound stage settings. Outdoor with waterfalls, canyons, rivers, mountains, great horseback riding (which produced great butts on John and Robert Fuller), and authentic town. Robert Fuller always got second billing below John Smith, even though he frequently carried an entire show himself without Smith.

@dynjarren7523 5 жыл бұрын

P Fulton I noticed that too! They actually shot outdoors and the show was realistic and every situation probably happened in real life at some point. And I like that some shows mainly featured Slim and some featured Jess Harper and some were them both together. What a Great Show! I’m glad I found out about it only because of Grit TV Cable Channel that features Westerns. I’m sad that John Smith is gone but if he was anything like Slim he was a great guy! I like how he treats Jess Harper like he’s his kid brother and they kid around! I’m surprised this show wasn’t as big as Bonanza, Wild Wild West or Gunsmoke! Laramie is every bit as good as any of those shows and I think its actually better! So it’s better late than never and I’d like to buy the whole show on DVDs! Thankfully Robert Fuller is still alive to see the Resurgence of this show at 85! I’m so glad he gets to see the show get more popular than ever! It’s like Grit TV gave it a second chance! God Bless them both and RIP John Smith -What a great guy! Authentic and Real!

I've only been watching Laramie the last year or so. It was before my time. Cool show. I knew Robert Fuller sort of from other shows, but not John Smith. He does have a particular goodness to him. It is true that a segment of America is long gone, although I'm not sure actors really represented what the Old West was really all about. I don't think they were this polite.
