Biography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
John Rollin Lupton (August 23, 1928 - November 3, 1993) was an American film and television actor.
Upon graduation from New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Lupton secured immediate stage work. Then he was signed as a contract player at MGM in Hollywood. Lupton was lanky and handsome like James Stewart or Henry Fonda, but never achieved similar fame.
