Anthony
Zerbe as Aloysius 'Teaspoon' Hunter
ANTHONY
ZERBE is waystation manager and town marshal Teaspoon Hunter. Confidante,
advisor and friend to the orphaned Pony Express riders, Teaspoon is a self-educated,
highly eccentric man who was initially hired by Russell, Majors and Waddell
to train and oversee the Pony Express riders. A former Texas Ranger, Teaspoon
imparts the lessons he has learned during his years as a gunfighter to
his young and inexperienced charges.
At
first, he seems to be an absent-minded old coot, but the riders soon find
that there is more to Teaspoon than meets the eye. Apparently, Teaspoon
has ghosts, too. He was one of the survivors of the Alamo, one of a group
which was sent out to fetch reinforcements. They arrived late and found
everybody in the fort dead.Teaspoon carried the guilt of living with so
many dying deep in his heart. Quite handy with a gun, Teaspoon became Sweetwater's
marshall when Sam Cain and Emma Shannon left town. We know he was married
six times and had a daughter named Elizabeth.
After
graduating from high school, Anthony, a native Californian, hitchhiked
to New York to begin his acting career. Once in New York, he became a student
at the Stella Adler Theater Studio and was soon on his way to stardom.
Anthony co-starred in the series Harry O for which he received a 1976 Emmy
Award as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
His
prestigious theater credits include a five-year residency at the Old Globe
Theater in San Diego, where he performed Coriolanus, Iago, Richard III
and Macbeth. During the 1990/91 GeVa Theater season, Anthony directed Josh
Brolin in The Closer, a play by Willy Holtzman which depicts the life of
a high-powered salesman caught off-guard by a stranger lurking in his living
room.
