Jun 15, 2023 · John Astin is Evil Roy Slade. The lone survivor of an Indian attack as a child, the Indians didn’t want him. Neither did the coyotes. So he grew up mean and hateful. And now he’s terrorizing the West, leading a gang that’s been especially troublesome for the Western Express Railroad. But Evil Roy still finds time to rob banks.
Overview. Orphaned and left in the desert as an infant, Evil Roy Slade (John Astin) grew up alone—save for his teddy bear—and mean. As an adult, he is notorious for being the "meanest villain in the West"—so he's thrown for quite a loop when he falls for sweet schoolteacher Betsy Potter (Pamela Austin).
