Biography:Character actor of films and television, "Paul Brinegar" specialized in playing feisty, grizzled cowboy sidekicks. Fans of the Western series "Rawhide" may remember Brinegar for playing Wishbone, the grumbly old cook. He was also known for playing Lamar Pettybone on the early-'80s television series "Matt Houston". Born and raised in New Mexico, he headed to California as a young man and made his feature film debut in "Larceny" (1948). From there, he launched a steady film career that slowed down considerably in the late '50s, after he began appearing on television but did not end until 1994, when Brinegar made his final screen appearance, as a stagecoach driver, in the 1994 film version of "Maverick". ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
