Biography

Robert L. Clack, professionally known as Bobby Clark, embarked on a remarkable journey in the early days of B-Western Movies and TV westerns. His fascination with roping began to take shape after attending the Oklahoma-Arkansas rodeo in Ft. Smith, an event that would have a profound impact on his future endeavors.

As a child prodigy, Bobby Clark first stepped into the spotlight at the tender age of six in Springfield, Missouri, in 1932. This marked the beginning of a long and illustrious career that would span many years.

Fast forward to July 4, 1938, when Bobby Clark's life took a dramatic turn. He was discovered by a Monogram talent scout at a Junior Chamber of Commerce rodeo in Sulphur, Oklahoma. This chance encounter would set the stage for a series of remarkable achievements.

With his trusty horse, Chief, by his side, Bobby Clark made his debut at Madison Square Garden later that year, capturing the World Champion Trick Roping title. His impressive skills with a.22 rifle and.38 special six-shooter only added to his repertoire, and he soon became known for his ability to simultaneously spin four loops, utilizing his mouth, arms, and hips in a dazzling display of dexterity.

The same year, Bobby Clark co-starred alongside the legendary Jack Randall in the film "Trigger Smith", marking his first foray into acting. This milestone would pave the way for a successful career in both rodeo and film, cementing his status as a true pioneer in the world of Western entertainment.
