He played Herb in The Empire Builders and had a bit part on Highway To Heaven.....Robert Max 'Bob' Terhune Jr. was the son of Max Terhune, and was born in Dayton, Ohio on July 13, 1928. Most all western film fans remember the senior Terhune from his days as 'Lullaby' Joslin with the Three Mesquiteers, as well as 'Alibi' in the Range Busters. Bob Terhune did some acting work in films like RIO BRAVO (1959), and film credits are listed in the Internet Movie Database link below. However, most of Bob's Hollywood work was not delivering lines before the camera. Instead, he became a hard-working, unsung hero, doing stuntwork and doubling for stars like John Wayne and Forrest Tucker.After retiring from the film business, Bob and his wife lived in Florida. He passed away on August 9, 2016 in Florida.
