Mostly Credited As: Hugh O'Brian
Birth Name: Hugh Charles Krampe
Date Of Birth: April 19, 1925
Country Of Birth: USA
Birth Place: Rochester, New York
Height: 6' 1" (1.85 m)

Hugh came out of High School and jumped right into the Marine Corps. After his discharge, he began acting in small theaters and a mix of minor TV roles. Director/actress Ida Lupino gave him a push into a contract with Universal Studios to make feature films. He didn't want to be known just for his dashing good looks, which held his career back a bit while Rock Hudson's took off. Instead, Hugh was cast for smaller roles in more mediocre movies. He left Universal to freelance and his career still didn't move along too fast. It was now that he would play his most memorable role as the lead in "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp." It was this vehicle which suddenly made him an 'overnight' success. He would continue to act on Broadway while still playing Wyatt Earp and would also appear in a number of guest roles on TV. But he never would find another success like "Wyatt Earp."
