Norwegian by heritage and a San Franciscan by birth, brown-haired, brown-eyed Gregg Palmer (born Palmer Lee) broke into show biz as a radio announcer. After an early '50s stint as a contract player at Universal, he turned to freelancing, closing out the decade by starring and co-starring in a number of detective, Western and sci-fi adventures. In the '60s, Palmer drifted into supporting roles and much TV work, and reinforced his growing rep with Western fans by becoming a regular member of John Wayne's latter-day stock company.

[about working with Neville Brand on Brand's series Laredo (1965)] I did a scene and got a little applause from the crew for taking a gunshot. The crew said that's the way to take a gunshot in the gut. Offstage Neville says, "Well, he should, he's done enough of those things". Someone said, "How would you know, Neville? Have you ever been shot?" He says, "Hell yes, I got shot here" and he pointed to his shoulder, "Came out here. I got shot here, came out here", pointing to his side. The interesting thing was, when I talked to him later, he said, "Gregg, in the war I could smell the Krauts in the morning. I'd go on patrol down through the gully and I could just smell the sauerkraut in the morning they were cooking". Show less «
