- Michael Landon, Bonanza, TV, 1959-1973. Young Landon (too young, said exec producer David Dortort) beat both Roberts – Fuller and Blake – to Little Joe, youngest of the Cartwright clan. Landon never got on with “brother” Pernell Roberts, but kept the faith with producer Kent McCray, director William F Claxton, composer David Rose. They stayed on his team during Little House on the Prairie, 1974-2010, and Highway to Heaven, 1984-1989.
- Simon Scott, Markham, TV, 1959. Fuller passed on being Ray Milland’s young detective partner in order to join Laramie, which led to Wagon Train and Return of the Seven.
