Dark haired, athletic American leading man of 40's B-movies. Richard Crane was at his most successful at a time when Hollywood was somewhat denuded of its male stars, most of whom were doing wartime military service. Upon their return to the ranks, Crane's career went into decline. He did, however, have a brief resurgence in the 1950's as the square-jawed, muscular hero of several space-borne serials, notably as the titular star of Rocky Jones, Space Ranger (1954). The next fifteen years he spent guesting in TV westerns and crime dramas, frequently appearing on The Lone Ranger (1949) and Lassie (1954). His final recurring role was as a police lieutenant in Surfside 6 (1960), a detective series aimed at the teenage market. At the time of Crane's death, he was President of Film Trend Productions.
老人家1915年出生的，99年是他最后一次出现在舞台了，2011年去世。 比较著名的角色都是几十年前的了。电视剧角色比较著名的有三部。 比如52年的《Dragnet 》的Officer Bill Gannon ，这部电视剧最早是52年推出的以纪实手法拍摄，后来54年拍了一季，然后67年到70年继续拍摄后面的季，Harry Morgan 是67到70年的主演。中间暂停的原因不详，不过这部NBC的剧集是第一部最有影响力的犯罪类剧。后来1987年改编成电影版由汤姆汉克斯主演，他还是演了这个角色Bill Gannon。
