Victor French was a beloved American actor
He was mostly known for 'Carter Country'
THIS was his cause of death
Victor French was born in Santa Barbara, the son of a Hollywood stunt man. And so it was always fated that he would end up in the industry. The actor was known early in his career as a leading television villain, appearing in more than 20 episodes of 'Gunsmoke,' directing five of them. But he was also frequently seen in 'Bonanza.' He then took on the role of the scruffy farmer "Isaiah Edwards" on 'Little House on the Prairie,' starring Michael Landon.
Victor was a true TV icon
Victor left the series in 1977 to star in his own sitcom, 'Carter Country,' playing a lovable redneck police chief in a city not far from Plains, Georgia, home of former president Jimmy Carter. Several years after 'Carter Country' was canceled by ABC in 1979, Victor French rejoined 'Little House' in 1982, until 1983. He teamed with Landon again on NBC's 'Highway to Heaven' in 1984.
