Wait... that's just too fucking funny. Using the image of the guys fucking GRAVE because it's free?! — NRen2k5^(TALK), 13:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, seriously, what a nice way to remember someone who's died -- with a photo of their tombstone.... --Iritscen (talk) 22:25, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, completely by chance came across this and I agree. The original was pretty good quality so I've zoomed in on the photo of him and put it up. Not great quality, but it at least gives people an idea of what he looked like. If it's not good, then feel free to reverse my edits.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WE WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS AS DOUG MCCLURE AND AS TRAMPAS MUCH LOVED. LEAST WE FORGET —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.52.140 (talk) 06:29, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

best known for?[edit]

he is best known for his appearances as Trampus in the NBC western series The Virginian.

Never heard of it, but the sci-fi films he starred in still regularly show, so I would presume it is more likely he is best known for them nowadays (particularly internationally and for those younger than 50) --86.179.186.239 (talk) 13:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Acting Start[edit]

Anybody know how Doug McClure started as an actor? I certainly don't want to speak ill of the dead (Doug was probably a nice guy, who knows?) but he was a lousy actor. His performances were flat and boring, monotone and monotonous. Why would anybody hire him? Did he have showbiz connections? I always wonder how people who can't act can get jobs acting.69.236.142.56 (talk) 02:01, 27 May 2010 (UTC)Sgt. Rock[reply]

He did more in his life than YOU. That's the reason why he is on wikipedia. HE was not a loser —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.155.124.40 (talk) 17:51, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Doug McClure[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Doug McClure's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Billboard":

From Tané McClure: "New On the Charts". Billboard. 94 (34): 25. August 28, 1982. ISSN 0006-2510.
From The Simpsons: Trust, Gary (April 27, 2010). "TV on the Radio: Before There Was 'Glee'". Billboard. Archived from the original on April 14, 2013. Retrieved July 31, 2010.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:54, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
