Dies at 85. I used to love that show and him when I was a teenager!

Oh my word, I was only in elementary and never ever missed an episode just so I could see him. Between him and Rowdy (Clint Eastwood) I was always "in love." No Donny Osmond for me just the boy's of the westerns. James must have been really young when he did that series.

Me too! I was madly in love with Gil Favor, Paladin, and Adam Cartwright. (I was a fickle teenager). I still love westerns. My all time favorite movie is the original Magnificent 7. Sigh.......

He and Doug McClure, made a good pair, I remember The Virginian.

Oh, how sad. I watch the Virginian whenever it is on. I also like Trampas, Doug McClure, from the same show. And, yes, Clint Eastwood on Rawhide was very nice to look at, too.

Loved him & the show. I still miss westerns.

I agree with @TVLand's post. I really liked Drury -a very attractive man- and his character who was always honorable and did the right thing.
Sad that he has passed away, may he rest in peace.
