The Durango Kid - 46 Movies  

Charles Starrett (March 28, 1903 - March 22, 1986) was an American actor 
best known for his starring role in the Durango Kid Columbia Pictures western series. 
After playing assorted sheriff and rangers roles, Starrett gained fame for his role as 
the Durango Kid. The first film in which he played his famous alter-ego character 
was known as The Durango Kid, which was released in 1940, but for some reason, 
Columbia did not see fit to continue with the series at that time. The character was 
revived in 1944 and lasted through 1952. Dub Taylor, as "Cannonball", worked with 
Starrett until 1946. At that time, Smiley Burnette, who had been a very popular 
sidekick to Gene Autry, was brought in to replace Taylor. Burnette, appropriately 
enough, played a character called Smiley Burnette. The Durango Kid films combined 
vigorous action sequences – often with speeded up camera work and spectacular 
stunts performed by Jock Mahoney – and western music. Each film featured a singing 
group, and many gave free rein to Burnette's singing and playing.
