Shannon, Texas, USA:
Charles Hugh Roberson (10. Mai 1919 – 8. Juni 1988) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Stuntman. Roberson wurde in der Nähe von Shannon, Texas, als Sohn des Farmers Ollie W. Roberson und Jannie Hamm Roberson geboren. Er wuchs auf Rinderfarmen in Shannon, Texas, und Roswell, New Mexico, auf und verließ mit 13 Jahren die Schule, um als Cowboy und Ölarbeiter zu arbeiten. Er heiratete und zog mit seiner Frau und Tochter nach Kalifornien, wo er der Polizei von Culver City beitrat und das Tor der MGM Studios bewachte. Nach seinem Wehrdienst im Zweiten Weltkrieg kehrte er zur Polizei zurück. Während eines Streiks bei Warner Bros. lernte er den Stuntman Guy Teague kennen, der ihm einen Stuntjob bei Republic Pictures vermittelte. Teague war viele Jahre lang John Waynes Stuntdouble gewesen und konnte ihm alles beibringen. Chuck ähnelte außerdem John Carroll, dessen Stuntdouble Roberson in seinem ersten Film „Wyoming“ (1947) war. Er spielte kleinere Rollen und übernahm Stunts in anderen Rollen im selben Film. Später spielte er größere Nebenrollen in Western von Wayne und John Ford und begann parallel als Second-Unit-Regisseur zu arbeiten. Zu seinen Fernsehauftritten zählen unter anderem „The Lone Ranger“, „The Adventures of Kit Carson“, „Lawman“, „Death Valley Days“, „Have Gun – Will Travel“, „Laramie“, „Gunsmoke“, „The Virginian“, „Laredo“, „Bonanza“, „Daniel Boone“ und „The Big Valley“. Roberson wirkte außerdem in den Disney-Western „The Swamp Fox“ und „Texas John Slaughter“ mit. Diese waren Teil der Reihe „The Wonderful World of Color“. Zuvor verkörperte er einen konföderierten Gefängniskapitän in „The Great Locomotive Chase“. 1980 veröffentlichte er seine Autobiografie „The Fall Guy: 30 Years as the Duke's Double“. Roberson starb am 8. Juni 1988 in Bakersfield, Kalifornien, an Krebs und ist auf dem Forest Lawn Cemetery in den Hollywood Hills, Kalifornien, neben seinem Bruder, dem Schauspieler Lou Roberson, begraben. Bob Dylan zeichnete ihn als Long Tom in seiner Serie „Beaten Path“. Die Zeichnung trägt den Titel „Untitled 1“ und basiert auf einer Szene aus dem Film „Winchester ’73“ (1950). Roberson und Wayne Burson, ebenfalls ein Stuntman, züchteten und trainierten gemeinsam Rennpferde. Roberson stellte die Pferde von seiner Ranch in Bakersfield, Kalifornien, zur Verfügung, und Burson trainierte sie.
