Career

Little is known about this man who appeared in over 100 films between 1943 and 1959, according to the Internet Movie Database. Roberts, whose career of portraying good guys and bad guys spanned virtually the entire range of Columbia and Republic serials production, delighted serial fans as the classic action heavy, but he could play sympathetic roles with equal skills as a sheriff or a police detective. Then, after the westerns and serials faded he migrated to television work, appearing in a significant number of popular TV shows.
