Black and white publicity photograph of the actor as Sheriff Lobo
Photograph signed: "Best Wishes,/ Claude/ Akins" in black felt tip, b/w, 8x10. Inscribed to
Fred Fussell in an unknown hand. In character as Sheriff Lobo.A versatile character actor,
Claude Akins (1918-1994) made a great villain, but could also adeptly occupy both
sympathetic and comic roles. He began his stage career at age 5, continued with drama in
high school, and joined acting stock companies while studying at Northwestern University.
After serving in the Army Signal Corps during WWII, he landed a role on Broadway with
Eli Wallach and Maureen Stapleton in The Rose Tattoo in 1951. He made his first film
appearance in The Caine Mutiny (1954), following up this role with dozens more in
movies such as Rio Bravo (1959), Inherit the Wind (1960), The Devil's Brigade (1968), The
Night Stalker (1972), and Manhunt for Claude Dallas (1986). Featured in films for nearly
40 years, he also appeared frequently on TV, his jobs including the title role of Texas
Sheriff Lobo (1979-1981), as well as guest-starring appearances on Westerns such as Wagon
Train sporadically from 1957 to 1961, The Big Valley in 1965, Gunsmoke sporadically from
1955 to 1972, and The Rifleman in 1958 and 1960. He also had guest spots on dramas such
as The Twilight Zone in 1960 and 1962, and The Untouchables in 1960, 1962, and 1963.
