Actor Brad Johnson was one of many screen actors in the 1940s and ’50s who found his niche in westerns. However, as the popularity of the genre waned, his career gradually faded into obscurity. While he occasionally made guest appearances in detective shows, Johnson’s most notable role came in the short-lived yet spirited western series Annie Oakley (1954), where he portrayed Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig alongside Gail Davis. Despite the series’ heavy fictionalization, this role marked the peak of his time in the spotlight.
