Boone was a native of North Carolina before he broke into show business on the 1960s NBC comedy It's a Man's World. That show was cancelled after one season, but Boone quickly landed his role on The Virginian and starred on that show for 70 episodes. After he left The Virginian, Boone starred on the CBS Western series Cimarron Strip alongside Stuart Whitman, Percy Herbert and Jill Townsend.
"He acted very much like a real horse, and I got a lot of fan mail about how he didn't stand still. He was spirited," — Randy Boone

"He acted very much like a real horse, and I got a lot of fan mail about how he didn't stand still. He was spirited," said Boone, who was hired largely because of his experience with horses and because he could sing and play the guitar. Fans liked Boone's singing rancher character so much that the show released an album of songs from the show performed by Boone and co-star Shore in 1965. But even that wasn't enough to keep him on the show.

"I was let go…I was told that [producer Frank Price] thought I was window dressing and wasn't needed on the show, but I feel that I was needed as much as anybody," said Boone in the book. "I think a show suffers when you make big changes in a show, and you lose the actors that caused the people to fall in love with the show. When they go, it suffers. But the time The Virginian had turned over to Charles Bickford, I was working over at CBS in a series with Stuart Whitman called Cimarron Strip. That was fabulous."
