Parker [[List of University of Texas at Austin alumni#Entertainment|graduated]] from the [[University of Texas at Austin|University of Texas]] on the [[G.I. Bill]] in 1950 with a history degree. Parker was an initiated member of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Still having a year left on his G.I. Bill he then moved to California, where he studied drama at the [[University of Southern California]] seeking a master's degree in theater history. However minor acting jobs soon obstructed that objective.<ref name=abcnews/><ref name=latime1>Dennis McLellan (March 18, 2010) [http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-fess-parker19-2010mar19,0,6863088,full.story "Fess Parker, who played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone on TV, dies at 85" ] ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', Accessed March 18, 2010</ref>

==Career==
Parker began his show-business career by summer 1951 when he had a $32-a-week job as an extra in the play ''[[Mister Roberts (play)|Mister Roberts]]'', <ref name = latime1/> although he is credited with the voice of Leslie, the chauffeur, in the 1950 film ''[[Harvey (film)|Harvey]]''.<ref name = harvey> [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042546/fullcredits#cast "Full cast and crew for 'Harvey' (1950)" ] ''[[imdb]]'', Accessed March 19, 2010 </ref>
Within months, he was on location with a minor part in ''[[Untamed Frontier]]'' with [[Joseph Cotten]] and [[Shelley Winters]]. <ref name = untame> [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045281/fullcredits#writers "Full cast and crew for 'Untamed Frontier' " ]''[[imdb]]'' Accessed March 18, 2010</ref>

Parker became a contract player with [[Warner Brothers]] appearing in small roles in several films such as ''[[Springfield Rifle (1952 film)|Springfield Rifle]]'' (1952), ''[[Island in the Sky (1953 film)|Island in the Sky]]'', ''The Bounty Hunter'' and ''[[Battle Cry (film)|Battle Cry]]''. In 1954, he appeared as [[Grat Dalton]] in the [[Jim Davis (actor)|Jim Davis]] western anthology ''[[Stories of the Century]]'' in the episode ''[[The Dalton Brothers]]''.

=== Davy Crockett ===
{{main|Davy Crockett (TV miniseries)}}
According to Parker himself, when the Walt Disney Company was looking for an actor to play [[Davy Crockett]], they originally considered [[James Arness]] for the title role. Parker had recently graduated to a contract weekly actor, but listened to his agent, so he appeared instead in a [[B movie]] called ''[[Them!]]'', that required only one day's work. He had a small scene in the movie, that of a pilot put into an insane asylum after claiming his plane had been downed by giant flying insects. Arness appeared in a larger role in the same film.<ref name=crockett>Richard Severo (March 19, 2010) [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/19/arts/television/19parker.html?hpw "Fess Parker, Who as Davy Crockett Set Off Coonskin Cap Craze, Dies at 85"], ''[[New York Times]]'' Accessed March 19, 2010</ref>

It was during a screening of this film that Walt Disney looked past Arness and discovered Parker. Disney was impressed by Parker's portrayal of a man who was unswerving in his belief in what he saw despite the forces of authority against him. Parker was asked to drop by the Disney Studio. When he did, he brought his guitar, met Walt, sang a song, and then said his goodbye. A couple of weeks later he was told that he had been selected over Arness and several other actors considered for the role, including [[Buddy Ebsen]] who eventually played Crockett's friend, George Russell.<ref name=crockett/>

Disney's portrayal of Crockett in three episodes depicted his exploits as frontiersman, congressman, and tragic hero of the Alamo, in what has been called the first television [[miniseries]], though the term had not yet been coined. ''[[Davy Crockett (TV miniseries)|Davy Crockett]]'' was a tremendous hit with children, and led to a merchandising frenzy for coonskin caps and all things Crockett.<ref name=crockett/>

Parker became a contract star for Disney appearing in many films such as ''[[The Great Locomotive Chase]]'', ''[[Old Yeller (1957 film)|Old Yeller]]'', and ''[[Westward Ho, The Wagons!]]'' but complained they were all pretty much the same role. Disney refused to loan out Parker for roles outside of that persona, such as ''[[The Searchers (film)|The Searchers]]'' and ''[[Bus Stop (film)|Bus Stop]]''.<ref>Fess Parker Interview ''Playset Magazine'' #34</ref>

Parker made guest appearances on many television programs; and composed and sang music. He performed the occasional role of Tom Conrad, editor of the ''Diablo Courier'' in the [[Television syndication|syndicated]] western series, ''[[Annie Oakley (TV series)|Annie Oakley]]'' (1954-1957), starring [[Gail Davis]], [[Brad Johnson (Annie Oakley co-star)|Brad Johnson]], and [[Jimmy Hawkins]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvacres.com/west_annie_oakley.htm|title=Annie Oakley|publisher=tvacres.com|accessdate=January 11, 2010}}</ref> In 1962, he starred in the title role of the TV series ''[[Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (TV series)|Mr Smith Goes to Washington]]''. Parker took to the stage in 1963, in a traveling production of "[[Oklahoma!]]" as 'Curly'. The movie roles he sought were elusive.<ref name= crockett/>

=== Daniel Boone ===
{{main|Daniel Boone (TV series)}}
Parker's ''[[Daniel Boone (TV series)|Daniel Boone]]'' television series portraying [[Daniel Boone|another historic figure]] of America's frontier days began filming in 1964. Over its six years (1964 to 1970) as one of the highest rated shows of its time, Parker was not only the star of the series but also the co-producer and director of five of its most popular episodes.<ref name=offwebio/>

Turning down the title role of ''[[McCloud (TV series)|McCloud]]'', Parker retired from the film industry in the 1970s, after a short-lived 1974 [[sitcom]], ''[[The Fess Parker Show]]''.

=== Awards ===
Fess Parker was nominated for best new personality [[Emmy Award|Emmy]] in 1954, but lost to [[George Gobel]]. He was never nominated again, nor was his show ''Daniel Boone''.<ref name = noemmy>Tom O'Neil (March 18, 2010) [http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2010/03/fess-parker-died-davey-crockett-daniel-boone-485176293-tv-news-story.html "Fess Parker had that cool coonskin cap -- who needs an Emmy?" ], ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', Accessed March 19, 2010</ref>

In 2003, Parker received the [[Texas Cultural Trust]]'s, "Texas Medal of Arts Award", established only the year before.<ref>{{cite news | author=Associated Press | title=Talented Texans to be Honored | url=http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=2003_3624907 | work=The Houston Chronicle | pages=2 | date=7 February 2003| accessdate=2008-01-22}}</ref><ref name = newswire> (March 18, 2003) [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/2003+Texas+Medal+of+Arts+Award+Winners+to+Be+Celebrated+Tuesday%2c...-a098891247 "2003 Texas Medal of Arts Award Winners to Be Celebrated Tuesday, March 25"] ''[[PRNewswire]]'', Accessed March 19, 2010</ref>

For his work with Disney, Parker was honored in December 2004 with his own tribute window on a facade in the [[Frontierland]] section of [[Disneyland]].<ref name = davy>Heather Hust Rivera (December 18th, 2009) [http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2009/12/did-you-miss-it-davy-crockett%e2%80%99s-did-you-miss-it-davy-crockett's-window-in-frontierland/ "Did You Miss It?

==Fess Parker Winery ==
[[Image:Fessparker.jpg|thumb||The Fess Parker Winery in Los Olivos, California.]]
After his acting career, Parker devoted much of his time to operating his Fess Parker Family Winery and Vineyards in [[Los Olivos, California]].<ref name=offweb>[http://www.fessparker.com/ Official Fess Parker Website] ''fessparker.com''</ref> The winery is owned and operated by Parker's family, and has produced several different types of award-winning wines.

Parker was a longtime friend of [[Ronald Reagan]], whose Western White House was not far from the Parker vineyards. Reagan sent Parker to Australia in 1985 to represent him during an event, and when Parker returned he was asked by White House aide [[Michael Deaver]] if he was interested in being ambassador to that country. "In the end, I decided I'd better take myself out of it. But I was flattered," Parker said. Parker also once considered a U.S. Senate bid, challenging [[Alan Cranston]]. But Nevada Senator [[Paul Laxalt]] said it would be a rough campaign, and a key dissenter lived under the same roof. "My wife was not in favor," Parker said. "I'm so happy with what evolved."<ref>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/18/fess-parker-tvs-davy-croc_n_505080.html</ref>
