Biography
Texas native David W. Harper became well known to audiences when he took on the role of Jim Bob on TV's The Waltons in 1972. He stayed with the series until it ended its run in 1981, and though he would reprise the role for subsequent Waltons TV movies, like 1982's A Wedding on Walton's Mountain. Harper largely retired from acting to become an art dealer. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
