Bob Livingston's father was a newspaper editor in Quincy, Illinois. As
a reporter for the Los Angeles Daily News Bob did a story on the
Pasadena Playhouse, and that got him interested in acting. In his
mid-20s, he was doing bit parts for Universal and Fox and went from
there to romantic roles with MGM. His first real success came with
Republic, in 1936, as a masked hero in the serial The Vigilantes Are Coming (1936). That led to
more cowboy roles and the leading role in the "Three Mesquiteer"
series. He had more appearances (29) in that series than anyone else.
He played other cowboy roles (Zorro in The Bold Caballero (1936)), worked with Al St. John in
the "Lone Rider" Series (1941-43) and finished up in a number of
character parts in Gene Autry and Roy Rogers movies.
