Titular TV Cowboys Game

Time for my second party game for Legends of Western Cinema Week!  Below is a list of TV westerns, all named after their main characters.  Your job is to tell me who starred as the that titular main character!  If you are bad at actor names, that's okay, because I have a whole bank at the bottom of this post for you to choose from... but there are a couple of extra names in there that don't get used, just to spice things up.


Please note that several of these shows were inspired by a movie, or led to one or more movies.  For the purposes of this game, please provide the name of the actor who played the character in the TV show.

1. The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993-94)

    Karen (my sister) would probably ace this. I've only caught parts of these shows, but she watches Grit TV all the time.
