He acted with his eyebrows. 🙂
He reminds me of Ken Berry. (Cpt. Parmenter F TROOP)
I guess I should check out The Virginian.
Remember his show as a youngster. Great entertainment. Was also a incredible artist and a musical composer which many people are unaware.
I LOVED that show. RIP
Another video with Bob Hope and others:

God needed him to guard the gates of hell with 71 other Virginians. RIP
Nobody better bug me when the Virginian comes on today.
A sad, sad day.
I liked him better than Robert Conrad
If Gordon Lightfoot dies this year, 2020, when it passes, will never be mentioned by me ever again.
I will refer to it as ‘That Year’
The cast and their interaction made that show. Doug McClure,James Drury,Clu Gulager etc.
The Virginian is in syndication all over heck and back, I watch about two episodes a night.
Rumor has it you had to pass a Horseman Ship test to even be considered as a guest star.
I saw the notice of his death right before The Virginian was on this morning on the INSP channel. I was more of a Gunsmoke fan and still am especially the older B&W episodes.
I liked him best in Ride The High Country with Joel McCrea, Randolph Scott and a very young and beautiful Mariette Hartley.
I never watched that show as a kid, but caught a show a few months ago which featured a pre Star Trek Leonard Nimoy, along with Michael “This is Kang” Ansara
So, to sum up I actually saw a show which had Spock, The Virginian and the greatest Klingon ever in a well written story
Grest stuff, Ed .. great
The first television show I ever saw in color was The Virginian. My grandmother, who was babysitting while our parents were out, took us to her friend’s, Bertha Merkle, house and Bertha had just gotten a new color television that day. I was less than impressed because I wanted to watch the Patty Duke Show and said as much. I’ll never forget Mrs. Merkle’s retort: “But it’s not in COLOR!”
Rest in infinite peace, Virginian.
Geoff, I like anybody with a young and beautiful Mariette Hartley
My grandmother always made me watch Lawrence Welk so I could learn some culture. I would have preferred The Virginian.
Watched “The Virginian” as a kid and really liked it and often watch it now on GRIT TV. Drury was an excellent actor. The theme music for “The Virginian” is one of my favorites.

Gladys…Excellent clip…of course I’m biased with anything Bob Hope.
The last one left.

RIP James Drury. Always enjoyed Western TV shows…and movies.
And I read somewhere that he and his band entertained the troops in Vietnam.
RIP
Enjoyed his work.
Did a couple of stints on “Lawman,” too.
Did he die from Coronavirus?
