Betty married Robert Simpson, Sr., a Naval Academy officer, before his birth. He and his family immigrated to Key West, Florida, where they were already known by the name "Buddy" by 1939, when he was a child of the 1920s. Acting and dancing were two of his childhood's highlights. In Florida, his parents owned a dance school. His family lived in Chicago, Illinois, for one year before moving to Florida. Simpson Jr., as he was then officially known, attended the Miami Military School for fifth and sixth grade, as well as Key West High School for ninth grade. He dropped out at the age of 14 in 1948, owing to the fact that he looked school and was doing poorly there. He and his family travelled to Hollywood, California, where his first job was as a stunt man in 1950. He started as a doorman and moved to Assistant Manager by age 18. Simpson Jr. joined the Screen Actors Guild, embarked on a career in acting, and renamed Robert Simpson Jr. to Robert Fuller, the name by which he was identified at his most prominent.

Personal life

Fuller is a natural performer. At the holiday festivities in Whiskey Flats, California, he appeared at several "bandstand" gigs with Bill Aken's Los Nomadas rock group. While serving as grand marshal for the local Memorial Day parade, he gave a vocal interpretation of the 1950s song "Caribbean" by performing the same verse over and over. He later told the band that he was only familiar with the first verse of the song. He made an LP in Munich, Germany, in 1967. The majority of the songs were recorded in German, including "Ein Einsamer Cowboy" ("Goodbye Mexican Girl"), "All Around the World"), "Sind Wie Blumen" ("Girls Are Like Flowers"), "All Over the World" ("All Over the World"), "All Over The World"), "Goodbye Mexican Girl"), and "Goodbye Girls" ("Goodbye Baby"), "All About Flowers." It's unclear if the album was a hit in Germany.

In the 1952 film Above and Beyond, Fuller's first small role was as an extra. This phase culminated in a lot of extra work on several fronts, one of which was in I Love Melvin. He appeared in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which starred Marilyn Monroe and the Doris Day classic Calamity Jane in 1953. The fuller's career followed but then came to an end for service in the United States Army. He served in Korea for a tour of duty and then returned to the United States in 1955. Despite the fact that he was considering dropping out of acting, Fuller came at the suggestion of his best friend, Chuck Courtney, who attended Richard Boone's acting lessons. According to Boone, the fuller report under Sanford Meisner's tutelage at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City was suggested. Fuller's first public appearance came in 1956, where he co-starred with his future Laramie co-star John Smith and another close friend, Doug McClure.

Fuller appeared in the 1956 episode "The Comeback" in the religion anthology film "Crossroads, the actor played a former soldier. Don DeFore, Reverend C. E. "Stoney" Jackson, provides spiritual insight to help Lou Brissie (Chuck Connors), who is recovering from World War II injuries in order to return to professional baseball, in this story.

In the episode "Ten In Texas," Alex was portrayed in a 1958 episode of Death Valley Days, "The Gunsmith" in favor of guest star Anthony Caruso, and he returned to the show in 1959 to play clever Mexican-American cattle rustler Johnny Santos.

Fuller appeared in NBC's Cimarron City television series on February 24, 1959. This appearance put him into a lead role in Laramie, one of the few network services in Wyoming, seven months later. Joe Cole, a young gunfighter on a mission to be remembered, was played by George Montgomery in Cimarron City. Cole's glass from a broken whisky bottle had temporarily blinded Rockford. Since each had a chance to prove their courage, the two were eventually reconciled. John Smith, Fuller's co-star in Laramie, appeared in this episode, and the two joined together briefly, including Dennis McCarthy as Dr. "Doc" Hodges, who expertly treated Rockford's eyes.

Buck Harmon, the teenage outlaw in the ABC/Warner Brothers western series Lawman, appeared in Fuller as a young outlaw. Harmon is estranged from his minister father, played by Robert F. Simon, in the story line. As the outlaw clan arrives in Laramie, Buck switches sides to help his old buddy, Deputy Johnny McKay (Peter Brown). Harmon is shot and killed in the shootout, but his father is uninhibited. In another Lawman episode called "The Souvenir," Fuller appeared as Davey Carey the year before.

Patrick Kelly called Fuller to his office in 1959 to give him the opportunity to co-star opposite Academy Award-winning actor Ray Milland in the CBS detective series Markham. Because he wanted to appear in westerns, the fuller jumped right into the role. On NBC's Bonanza, David Dortort was David Dortort's second choice for the role of Lorne Greene's youngest cocky, impish son, Joseph "Little Joe" Cartwright, but he was later compared to another young and then unknown actor, Michael Landon, whose career was honed in that role. Fuller co-starred on Jess Harper on Laramie from 1959 to 1963, and Fuller appeared opposite John Smith, one of his closest friends. Fuller was requested to do a screen test for Slim Sherman's character, but John Smith had originally played Jess Harper, and he was the unknown, struggling actor that he was. Fuller argued that he would be more convincing as Harper, and after the screen test, he earned the role of Jess, while Smith was in charge of Slim.

In more than 70 countries, Laramie was eventually broadcast. Fuller jumped aboard another western, Wagon Train, alongside John McIntire (a veteran film actor, a two-time guest star on Laramie, and a potential actor of The Virginian), Frank McGrath, and Terry Wilson when Laramie ended its run. Fuller said he was not brought into the show to replace Robert Horton (an actor Fuller began in 1954 while he and friend James Drury were under MGM's sponsorship and befriended for 62 years (after Horton's death in March 2016) in the role of the wagon train scout. Horton and Horton's birthday occurred on the same day, but Horton was nine years old, according to Horton. Although Horton had a dark cowboy hat on, the fuller wore a light one. Horton had already been cast a season before, and McIntire had been directing the series for a year. Fuller returned to ABC in 1962, where he stayed in the show until it was cancelled after two seasons.

Fuller appeared in a handful of nonscript films over the next six years. As the Western was slowly being pushed away from the American film industry, it seemed that his career was stalling. Vin in Return of the Seven (1966), which was a small, if lackluster, sequel to The Magnificent Seven, was the exception.

Fuller appeared in the Western film Incident at Phantom Hill in 1966. In the episode "Massacre at Fort Phil Kearney," he portrayed wounded western military Captain William Judd Fetterman, one of NBC's Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre, the actor portrayed him in the same year. Richard Egan, Phyllis Avery, Robert Pine, and Carroll O'Connor were among his co-stars. He appeared in the 1969 thriller What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice, opposite Ruth Gordon and Geraldine Page, and co-starred with Joel McCrea in the 1976 western Mustang Country, McCrea's last film. Lloyd Bridges and Raymond Burr appeared in the 1979 TV action film Disaster on the Coastliner.

After producer Jack Webb saw Fuller in the 1971 film The Long Ride, he insisted Fuller in his latest NBC medical drama, Emergency! Fuller was reluctant to play a doctor, particularly in a modern urban setting, but the tenacious Webb persuaded him to accept the role of Dr. Kelly Brackett, Chief of Emergency Medicine at the fictional Rampart General Hospital. Fuller said in an earlier interview with On Screen and Beyond in 2009, he had twice, politely, dismissed the position of Brackett. Fuller was then alerted by Webb that Western shows had been consistently cancelled over the past five years and that the genre was on the decline. On Adam-12, he appeared as Dr. Kelly Brackett on 1975 (Episode: Lost and Found).

On Emergency, Co-stars Fuller and Julie London. Randolph Mantooth as John Roderick "Johnny" Gage and Kevin Tighe as Roy DeSoto, both playing paramedics. The other cast members got along with Fuller, although his on-screen appearances were cut because he had become dissatisfied with the show's direction, off-camera, while simultaneously looking for Westerns.

Fuller, along with younger newer actress Ben Lemon, Kristin Griffith, and Stephen McNaughton, appeared in the pilot of a CBS Western series Jake's Way as the title character in 1980; the series didn't sell. He appeared in more than 20 television shows, including The Love Boat, The Fall Guy (which reunited him with Lee Majors, who appeared with Fuller on Laramie), Murder, She Wrote, Matt Houston, Jr. (JAG), and Diagnosis: Murder, a series that reunited him with his former Firefighter in an episode that reunited him with his former Emergency! Randolph Mantooth, a co-star in the Malibu Fire, was released on November 10. Wade Harper, Jess' ostensible great-grandson, appeared on Walker, Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris and Clarence Gilyard towards the end of his acting career. In the second part of the episode "Last of a Breed"), he also appeared in another film before being cast as Wade. His film appearances were limited, consisting of a small part as a doctor in Repossessed (1990) and a cameo as a poker player in Maverick (1994).
