John Hart height - How tall is John Hart?

Interviewed in Tom Weaver's "Eye on Science Fiction" (McFarland & Co., 2003).

Supervised post-production the series Quincy M.E. (1976).

Met his wife, the former Canadian actress Beryl Braithwaite on the set of his Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans (1957) series. They wed ten days later in February of 1957. The union lasted 52 years, until his death, and produced a daughter, Robyn.

Replacing actor Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger in 1952 due to a dispute over pay involving the star, John appeared in 52 episodes. He returned to The Lone Ranger role in later years--on a 1981 episode of The Greatest American Hero (1981) and a 1982 episode of Happy Days (1974).

Appeared in three episodes of the classic I Love Lucy (1951) series, he's best remembered perhaps as the hunky lifeguard who tries to save an unwilling Lucy (who is attempting to draw publicity for Ricky) from drowning in a Hollywood hotel pool.

He acted in two episodes of The Lone Ranger (1949) before he himself portrayed the famous Masked Man from 1952 to 1953 replacing Clayton Moore for a year. The episodes were "Sheriff at Gunstock" (episode # 1.46) 27 July 1950 playing "Duke, Henchman" and "Rifles and Renegades" (episode # 1.34) 4 May 1950 playing "Sergeant of the Guard." Later he gave a very convincing portrayal as Hawkeye in Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans (1957).

Father of Nathaniel Buddy Hart, child actor. b. 1944 (Not Buddy Joe Hooker, Famed stunt coordinator. b. 1942).

Tall and athletic, and possessed of "movie star" good looks, John Hart acted on the stage of the renowned Pasadena Playhouse as a young man, before making his screen debut in a supporting role in director Cecil B. DeMille's big-budget The Buccaneer (1938). With these physical assets and early acting credentials, the native Los Angeleno seemed bound for bigger and better things but military service slowed his momentum: Returning to Hollywood after World War II, he found himself back at the proverbial starting line.
