Biography

One of many handsome studio contractees of the '50s, American actor Ray Stricklyn seldom rose any farther than "second lead" status. After a few years' stage work and his film debut in Paramount's Proud and the Profane (1956), Stricklyn signed with 20th Century-Fox, where he offered steadfast support to such larger luminaries as Richard Widmark (The Last Wagon [1956]), Gary Cooper (Ten North Frederick [1957]) and Claude Rains (The Lost World [1960]). Good-looking in an assembly line way, Stricklyn was a stalwart of second-feature westerns in the '60s like Young Jesse James (1960) and Arizona Raiders (1965). Ray Stricklyn never quite achieved full stardom, but it certainly wasn't from lack of exposure. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
