Child actor
In "Rin Tin Tin", the story of a boy and his German shepherd, Brown appeared as a young officer at a remote US Cavalry outpost called Fort Apache. Child actor Lee Aaker appeared as Rusty, who had been orphaned in an Indian raid and was adopted by the troops at the fort. In two "Rin Tin Tin" episodes, "Forward Ho" and "The White Buffalo," Brown sang in his rich baritone voice. In 1976, he hosted a revival of "Rin Tin Tin" reruns, which extended until the 1980s.
