Robert Conrad (1935 - 2020) - In Memoriam
Rest in peace, Mr. Conrad. You will be greatly missed. You had an amazing career. So many roles, but probably best known as Pappy Boyington from “Black Sheep Squadron.” This video shows a few of the roles he is known for.

What a nice memoriam. Robert Conrad was among my favorite actors growing up in NE Philadelphia in the 1960s and 1970s. I watched The Wild, Wild West with my father, who was also a big fan. Baa, Baa, Black Sheep / Black Sheep Squadron was another favorite of mine. I wish there had been more than two seasons / 36 episodes. Thank you and RIP Mr. Conrad.
Always sad to see a childhood hero pass on, James West was the sexiest and most charismatic gunslinger on TV. Happy memories. Thank you Robert. A lovely tribute video.
Nicely done, he was my hero as a kid... back when we had real ones!

RIP...Thanks for the wonderful entertainment and memories.
Born in 1935...gets his first starring role in a hit TV series in 1959....he was 24 years old! WOW, what a remarkable career. He was such a potent physical presence in WWWest. He was a TV only actor who had rare and enduring Steve McQueen type "cool". He was always the coolest guy on the screen. One of a kind.
Only the rocks live forever. Centennial one of the greatest books and TV mini series on the U.S. western expansion. R.I.P. Robert Conrad.
Rest in peace Mr. Conrad. Oh boy, sure loved waiting for Mr. James West and your side kick Artemus Gordon in 'The Wild, Wild West' as a kid ! Fond memories.
R.I.P Robert enjoyed watching you as a kid.. never forget you....
I just found out that he died 10 months ago. This saddens me. My childhood hero. RIP, Mr. Conrad.
Great actor. I loved The Black Sheep Squadron - never missed an episode and now have the entire series of DVDs. He was born to play Major "Pappy" Boyington.
Rest in Peace Mr. Conrad. I loved you playing the role as Capt James West.
The days of men like Robert Conrad, Jack Lord, Charlton Heston, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery and so many others, are now over, gone... Bogart, Douglas, Brenner, Peck, Garner... and no one in sight to replace them. I'm hearing George Jones singing "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes" in my head...
One of My favorite Shows Wild Wild WEST. .. Thanks for the memories.....
Rest in Peace Mr.Robert Conrad,ive been your avid fan since BlackSheep,and always will be.Farewell Sir,,for now.
he was THE BEST looking man EVER no one can wear those James West pants like him
RIP Robert....you provided me with many leisurely hours of entertainment throughout my youth ..my fondest memories was the Wild Wild West and Black sheep Squadron...
The Man the Myth the Legend and my Hero it is with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye I say goodbye RIP
Baa Baa Black Sheep...Wild Wild West... Robert Falk was one of the best actors in the past.
I remember you when I was little I watch wild, wild, west always. We watch you know. Love you always, Go Rest High!!❤
Thanks for all the Entertainment You offer to all of us !!! Now, RIP !!! Hope to see all in the AfterLife !!!
I grew up with Robert Conrad during the wild wild West I was 9 to 13 years of age from 1965 to 1969. He was my television idol and I looked up to him and his character James T West. I remember there was a conflict between The Wild Wild West and The Man from Uncle; they overlapped each other; the last half of The Wild West and the first half of The Man from Uncle conflicted with each other..... well for me The Wild Wild West won out and I never really watched an episode of The Man from Uncle, but I watched every single episode of The Wild Wild West!!! Thank You Robert Conrad for making my childhood exciting. God Bless
Great actor and showman The tv icon !so long bob and thanks for all...👍👌✋
Wild wild west grew up watching the western I was 12. Today I watch it on tv .I hope they never take it off.
Il restera pour toujours "James West" et "Greg *Pappy* Boyington" dans nos cœurs... R.I.P Robert Conrad.

Robert Conrad was a real man. Not like the men we see on screen today. How many actors have three solid tv shows to their credit? Michael Landon, Lee Majors. Can't think of another.

Once upon a time, my mother worked for Bob at A. Shane Company (his production outfit). This was during the High Mountain Rangers series. I loved hanging out at the office with his son Christian. "Toes" (Joan's husband) would invite me over to play on their Hi-Ball court in the back yard. Bob was one of the most genuine guys I have ever met, and will always be one of my heroes of the screen.
WILD WILD WEST! Great Show!
Excellent job on video! Watched him growing up, particularly Wild Wild West.. Thank You so much for the great memories growing up Robert! RIP 🙏🙏🙏
Well done video. I loved, enjoyed & thrilled to his portrayal of James West & Pappy Boyington. One of my heroes of yesteryear. RIP Robert Conrad.
excellent souvenirs of this actor, rip Mr Conrad.
He is one of those guys who will always be in that era of late '60's thru late 70's, in my mind. Thanks.
One of the few actors who did 99% of his stunts. Almost got killed doing the Wild, Wold West. Lucky he made it through.
A sad loss he was a brilliant actor and had the most beautiful eyes. 😥😥😥😥🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
One of my favorite actors, very charismatic : James West, Pappy Boyington, legendary charaters ! RIP Sir and thanks for all !

I always liked Robert Conrad. I tuned in to the Wild, Wild, West which was a favorite show of mine, and I watched him in Baa Baa Black Sheep. Rest in Peace Robert Conrad.

This world is sorely lacking in actors, and dare I say men, such as you, Mr. CONRAD. I will always remember the generosity with which you played your roles. Hats off Sir. Thank you for this tribute that this Actor of great talent, and who left so humbly, deserved.
My son's godfather is identical. He looks like Robert. Rest in peace.

Conrad....a total badass!
I never failed to watch an episode of Wild Wild West, or the repeats, over and over. And then he became even more famous with Ba Ba Black Sheep. He looked like a helluva nice guy too, wish I could've met him. Miss ya Robert!!
In his prime he was one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, and, a REAL man!!!

I grew up as a child watching baa baa black sheep. RIP and thank you for those great times
- un grand acteur et une belle prestance !
He did more different things in entertainment than anyone else ever. Plus a great guy. I spoke with him twice on his radio show. He was the real thing, and treated everyone great.

If I'm not mistaken he was in Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger . Love that movie. RIP Mr Conrad
Thanks Jim West...you and Artie meant a lot to me.
Very well done. Thanks for sharing.
James West and many other American tv series like Land of Giants, Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom the Sea etc helped me learn the American English. I remember those shows weren't dubbed to Portuguese but they had subtitles on them...so my learning has lasted up to today! R.I.P. Great Actor!!!

Keep in mind, to add to his talents, he made a couple singing albums under the name Bob Conrad in the early 60s I suggest my fellow fans, fire up KZread and give him a listen, not bad.

I remember I had a child hood friend that was a carbon copy of him you know body wise. He ended up being hounded by a lot of ladyies and ended up with a lot of kids.
The Wild Wild West - the coolest Cowboy ever!
Especially in the battery ad, he reminds me a lot of a young Bruce Willis.
