Peter Brown got into acting when he was in the army by organizing a
theater group on base to occupy his spare time while stationed in
Alaska. After his discharge he enrolled in the acting program at UCLA,
and starting in the mid-1950s found employment in many of the western
films and series being turned out at the time (he is especially
remembered for his work as eager young deputy Johnny McKay in the
classic western series
Lawman (1958) and as one of a trio of Texas Rangers in
the western action/comedy series
Laredo (1965)). Following the end of a
contract with Universal Pictures (1965-1972), he switched to soap
operas and made-for-TV films, and has been steadily employed ever
since.
