Tall, rangy character actor in many westerns and outdoor dramas. Born and raised in Missouri, Davis' relaxed, easygoing manner and Southern drawl typified the image of the cowboy, and he spent many years at Republic doing just that. He alternated between good-guy and villain roles, one of his better roles being that of the devious, murderous fur trapper working for Kirk Douglas' competition in 1952's "The Big Sky." He is best known, however, for his role as the Ewing familly patriarch Jock in the long-running TV series "Dallas
