Real Name: Orson Whipple Hungerford II

Replaced Clint Walker in the Cheyenne TV series after Walker quit in a dispute with Warner Brothers. When Walker returned in 1959, Hardin's character Bronco Layne was given his own TV series. Various sources keeping tabs on his career after the 1960s mention a drug bust, (which led to his expulsion from Spain), a stint as a TV evangelist in the US, and even a period where he was living as a "survivalist" in the wilds of Arizona.
