I've got a big plaque up on the wall next to Gary Cooper and John Wayne and all the big guys. Next to all the great Western performers. Well, all the years that I did 'Laramie' and 'Wagon Train,' Tony Curtis' dressing room was directly across from mine. His and Rock Hudson's. My dressing room...you know, I did all three series at Universal Studios: 'Laramie,' 'Wagon Train' and 'Emergency.' I guess that was fifteen or sixteen years or something like that. But the row of dressing rooms that I was on was called Whiskey Row. And the reason it was called Whiskey Row was because the first dressing room was Ward Bond, the second dressing room was Frankie McGrath, the third was Terry Wilson, the fourth was John Smith, the fifth was me and the sixth was Lee Marvin. And we all partied after lunch, so they called it Whiskey Row. Now, in the same amount of space directly across from us were only two dressing rooms and they were bungalows; they were fabulous. Ours were great; I mean, we had dressing room, living room, makeup, kitchen, and all that, but these guys were like a condominium, practically. Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson right across from us for all those years. [On his on- and off-screen chemistry with Denny Miller, who played Duke Shannon]: No, that was way down the line. I wasn't under contract through the studio, and all those other people were. They immediately wanted me to go into another Western, and they figured because of the popularity of "Laramie" and my popularity in Japan and Germany, that it would boost that up a little bit. And that was fine by me. I was more than happy to join that cast. They were all friends of mine, anyway. You know, John McIntire was there; I adored him and worked with him quite often. He had done a couple of "Laramie" (1959) episodes with me. I had known Denny when he was doing 'Tarzan.' Frankie [McGrath] and Terry (Wilson) were good buddies of mine for years. And I was thrilled. [When Jack Webb strongly insisted that he starred on _"Emergency!" (1972)]: Yeah it really did; it did. "Hard Ride" was a very good motorcycle movie. It got great reviews. It was a different type of movie. I played an ex-Marine coming back from Vietnam that was going to get a motorcycle back to a dead friend's relative. I can't remember how it went, but I know it worked pretty good. Paul Donnelly, who was production manager of Universal Studios all the years that I was doing 'Laramie', 'Wagon Train' and 'Emergency' he was a dear, dear friend of mine. He happened to see that movie about two days after Jack Webb had decided he was going to do the series called 'Emergency'. He went to Jack and he said, 'You ought to run this movie because if you're looking for your lead doctor, Dr. Brackett, then you should look at Robert Fuller in this movie.' Jack went over to the projection room, looked at the first five minutes of the movie, and said, 'That's him. Hire him; I want him. Nobody else but him.' And that's how I got 'Emergency'. [If he bore a slight resemblance to Robert Horton, who coincidentally shares the same birthday with him]: No, that was way down the line. I wasn't under contract through the studio, and all those other people were. They immediately wanted to me to go into another Western, and they figured because of the popularity of "Laramie" and my popularity in Japan and Germany, that it would boost that up a little bit.
