Television

Scott's only venture into television (other than an appearance on Celebrity Golf) was in the late 1950s as host of the proposed Randolph Scott's Theater of the West series. The pilot starred Scott Brady as a lawman trying to escape a criminal past. The series was never sold and the pilot episode never aired.
