BLAKE, Robert
(1933– )
   Although better known for his nonWestern roles, Robert Blake has appeared regularly in Westerns throughout his career. Billed as Bobby Blake, he began his career in the Our Gangtelevision series and then gained an early reputation for his role as Little Beaver in over 20 films in the Red Ryder series from 1944 to 1947. His most significant Western role, however, was in Abraham Polonsky’s antimyth Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here (1969) in which Blake played Willie, an innocent Native Americanaccused of murder and pursued in a massive hunt.
