He may have been one of the last male lead actors of the 30s. Quite a few actresses still around, but I can't think of any other major leading men (much as I like him, I don't consider Bruce Bennett to be a major name.)

What a natural actor. The Fastest Gun Alive. Cowboy. Plunder of the Sun. Just rattle them off and all sorts of nice memories come forward. A good bloke too by all accounts.
