Lance Fuller

Lance Fuller Biography

Lance Fuller (December 6, 1928 " December 22, 2001) was an American actor. He was born in Somerset, Kentucky.

He was a contract actor for most of the 1950s with Universal-International.

He had many uncredited roles for the first several years of his Hollywood career. His first role was in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), and he was featured (uncredited) in several movies into the 1950s; of these films, the most notable being Singin' in the Rain (1952).

He co-starred in Cattle Queen of Montana alongside Ronald Reagan, Apache Woman with Lloyd Bridges and was featured in Ed Wood's The Bride and the Beast, as well as Universal's first color sci-fi film, This Island Earth. He also appeared in the films The She-Creature, Pearl of the South Pacific and God's Little Acre.

His film career stalled in the late 1950s, as was the case for many actors once under contract to a major studio, and he moved to a career in television, where he appeared on the shows Bat Masterson, The Rifleman, 77 Sunset Strip, Maverick, The Twilight Zone, and others. He quit the business in 1962, after resisting several offers from Warner Brothers to star in his own series.

In 1968, Fuller attacked a police officer in Los Angeles, who reacted by shooting Fuller in the chest and left him in critical condition. He recovered and in the early 1970s attempted a comeback and landed small roles in a few films and TV programs. His career ended much like it began, with many uncredited roles (including 1971's The Andromeda Strain and 1975's Hustle, which was his final acting role).

Lance Fuller died on December 22, 2001, at age 73, after a lengthy illness, in Los Angeles.
