I am a fighter. I believe in that which is right, and the truth is, I have been the Lone Ranger for the past thirty years and I will not give up the fight. I love my public and I'll fight for you. I'll continue to make personal appearances for my thousands of fans.
I had two dreams when I was a young fella. I wanted to be a policeman and a cowboy.
I often meet adults in their 30s, 40s, or 50s who, as soon as they recognize me, suddenly become six years old again.
I think you're going to find out that westerns will be coming back. It's Americana, it's part of our history, the cowboy, the cattle drive, the sheriff, the fight for law, order and justice. Justice will always prevail as far as I'm concerned.
Once I got the Lone Ranger role, I didn't want any other.
You could have asked anything but that. I'll tell you how old I am. I was born in 1914. I'll let you figure that out.
Clayton was 6 feet 1 inches tall.
Clayton had to get voice training in order to have his voice sound like the radio version of the Lone Ranger, which was started in 1933.
Clayton's daughter, Dawn, started a campaign to have Clayton as the Lone Ranger put on a United States Postal stamp, in 2000. She hopes to have it approved and released on September 15, 2009, exactly 60 years after the first episode of the television series debuted.
Clayton played one of the evil "Moon Men" in the 1952 Republic Pictures 12-part serial Radar Men From The Moon.
Clayton is the only star to have a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame to have both their name and their character name: Clayton Moore - The Lone Ranger. The star is located at 6914 Hollywood Boulevard.
Clayton played another masked hero directly before The Lone Ranger, as Zorro in the Republic Pictures 12-part serial, Ghost Of Zorro (1949).
