Will Hutchins

Will Hutchins (born Marshall Lowell Hutchason; May 5, 1930) is an American actor most noted for playing the lead role of the young lawyer Tom Brewster, in the Western television series Sugarfoot, which aired on ABC from 1957 to 1961 for 69 episodes.

[6] He had small roles in the Warners movies Bombers B-52 (1957), Lafayette Escadrille (1958), and No Time for Sergeants (1958) where he screen tested for the lead of Will Stockdale with James Garner playing the psychiatrist.

[7] Hutchins leapt to national fame in the lead of Sugarfoot, in which he played a frontier lawyer with intermittent comedic overtones.

He appeared in supporting roles in the Warner Bros films Claudelle Inglish (1961) and the World War II action picture Merrill's Marauders (1962), which starred Jeff Chandler.

In 1966, he made a guest appearance on the CBS courtroom drama series Perry Mason as Don Hobart in "The Case of the Scarlet Scandal".

[8] The program followed Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, but it failed to attract a sustaining audience against CBS's The Ed Sullivan Show and ABC's The F.B.I.

Back in the United States, Hutchins guest-starred on Love, American Style, Emergency!, Chase, Movin' On, The Streets of San Francisco, and The Quest.
