James Drury's death is reportedly from natural causes.

He played the laconic rancher with no name on the revolutionary NBC series. Among Westerns, only 'Gunsmoke' and 'Bonanza' lasted longer.
James Drury, who starred as the no-name, no-nonsense foreman of the Shiloh Ranch on The Virginian, one of the longest-running Westerns in the history of television, died Monday of natural causes. He was 85.

Drury died at his home in Houston, his assistant, Karen Lindsey, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Preparing for his most famous role, Drury appeared in several Westerns on the big screen, including Good Day for a Hanging (1959) with Fred MacMurray, Ten Who Dared (1960) at Disney and Sam Peckinpah's Ride the High Country (1962), working opposite Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea (who starred in the 1946 film The Virginian).
