- Synopsis
- TV Series (1958-1961). Wanted: Dead or Alive was an American Western television show which ran for three seasons from 1958 to 1961, starred unconventional-looking leading man Steve McQueen, and was a spin-off of Trackdown (1957), a western TV series featuring Robert Culp. McQueen played bounty hunter Josh Randall, who carried a sawed-off 1892 Winchester rifle called the Mare's Leg. Writers included Samuel A. Peeples and Charles Beaumont. Filmed in black and white, this half-hour adult western featured taut performances, especially by comparative newcomer McQueen, who made quite an impression on critics, viewers, and film producers with his intense portrayal of the grim bounty hunter. McQueen's movie career began heating up and he purposely made himself difficult to work with on the TV series, to the point that the studio was eventually happy to cancel it and let him out of his contract.
