Paul Fix (March 13, 1901, Dobbs Ferry, New York – October 14, 1983, Los Angeles, California) was an American film and television character actor, best known for his work in westerns. Fix appeared in more than a hundred movies and dozens of television shows over a 56-year career spanning from 1925 to 1981. In the 1950s, Fix was best known for portraying Marshal Micah Torrance alongside Chuck Connors in The Rifleman. Paul Fix died October 14, 1983, Los Angeles, California, of kidney failure. He was survived by his daughter Marilyn Carey and son-in-law Harry "Dobe" Carey, three grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. Supposedly Fix taught John Wayne -- a lifelong friend -- his famous and distinctive "rolling walk" when Wayne was starting out in the business. He wanted something to set him apart, so Fix suggested the rolling gait that became his trademark.

Paul Fix (13. März 1901, Dobbs Ferry, New York – 14. Oktober 1983, Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Film- und Fernsehschauspieler, der vor allem für seine Rollen in Western bekannt war. In seiner 56-jährigen Karriere von 1925 bis 1981 wirkte Fix in über hundert Filmen und Dutzenden von Fernsehserien mit. In den 1950er-Jahren erlangte er große Bekanntheit durch seine Darstellung des Marshals Micah Torrance an der Seite von Chuck Connors in der Fernsehserie „The Rifleman“. Paul Fix starb am 14. Oktober 1983 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien, an Nierenversagen. Er hinterließ seine Tochter Marilyn Carey und seinen Schwiegersohn Harry „Dobe“ Carey, drei Enkelkinder und mehrere Urenkel. Angeblich brachte Fix seinem langjährigen Freund John Wayne dessen berühmten und unverwechselbaren „Rolling Walk“ bei, als dieser seine Schauspielkarriere begann. Er wollte etwas, das ihn von anderen abhob, also schlug Fix ihm den rollenden Gang vor, der zu seinem Markenzeichen wurde.
