The Most Unforgettable Stars of Western TV and Movies
The Virginian, The Virginian
Portrayed by James Drury
Would you believe that in the nine seasons the series ran (it’s the third longest running Western-themed TV series, by the way), the name of the lead character in The Virginian has never been revealed? James Drury gave life to the character known as ‘The Virginian’, Shiloh Ranch’s gritty foreman. Although the exact setting of the show is not known, it is assumed it was set during the late 19th century, with the story being loosely based on Owen Wister’s 1902 novel, The Virginian, A Horseman of the Plains. We would have still liked to now the lead character’s name, though!
