Clint Eastwood kicked off his acting career with some notable TV appearances before becoming a big-screenlegend. He had uncredited roles in the mid-1950s, popping up in shows like Death Valley Days and Highway Patrol in 1955, and even Navy Log in 1956. His first credited TV role came in 1956 with the anthology series West Point. Thatsame year, he appeared in an episode of TV Reader's Digest titled "The Brainwashing of John Hayes."
The role that really put him on the map, though, was as Rowdy Yates in the Western series Rawhide, which ran from 1959 to 1965—Eastwood starred in over 200 episodesacross its eight seasons, cementing his cowboy cred. After Rawhide, he guest-starred in a 1973 episode of The Wonderful World of Disney called "Ringo, the Refugee Raccoon."
