13 - This sucks, because it can't be Lorne Greene. How about Jeffrey Hunter? | |

"I didn't know Little Joe's middle name was Francis. "
(that is because once upon a time you were not a little girl with a crush on little joe. also, i liked his horse the best- it was a paint, also tonto's horse scout was a paint. i breed paint horses.)
(i bet you don't know little joe's horse's name.) | |

the last one...
The dude who played McCoy on Star Trek. He was in westerns...and he looks weird in a cowboy hat!! (at least to me!) | |

Sorry, Nat. Fez already guesssed him. He WAS in "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral", but that wasn't a TV show. He was also seen in an episode of "Bonanza", but he didn't play a western hero in that.
jollykay- I'll bet you're right! | |

okay, i figured out #13- the two shows, but i don't know the guys name...
there is no way i will get it without googling...
but the two shows are lost in space and zorro, i am pretty sure... the guy who played zorro...
zorro's horses name was toronado. | |
