"Steve McQueen's first breakout role would not come in film, but on TV. Hollywood manager Hilly Elkins successfully lobbied Vincent M. Fennelly, producer of the Western series Trackdown, to have McQueen read for the part of a bounty hunter named Josh Randall in a new pilot for a Trackdown companion series. McQueen appeared as the Randall character in an episode of Trackdown, working opposite series lead Robert Culp, after which McQueen filmed the pilot episode. The pilot was approved for a series titled Wanted: Dead or Alive on CBS in September 1958. In the interviews included in the DVD release of "Wanted", Trackdown's star Robert Culp takes credit for first bringing McQueen out to Hollywood and for landing him the part in The Bounty Hunter. He also claims to have taught McQueen the "art of the fast-draw", adding that, on the second day of filming, McQueen beat him. Like many of Culp's claims, it is not supported by the evidence."

Robert Culp Died on what would have been Steve McQueens 80th Birthday!
