''Laredo'' combines action and humor with the focus on three fictitious Texas Rangers. Reese Bennett, played by Neville Brand, is older than his two partners.<ref name="Rowan"></ref> Brand was perhaps best known in his role as mobster Al Capone on the ABC/Desilu TV series, ''The Untouchables (1959 TV series)'' (starring Robert Stack). Chad Cooper is played by Peter Brown (actor), the former co-star with John Russell (actor) of the American Broadcasting Company/Warner Brothers western series, ''Lawman (TV series)''. Joe Riley is portrayed by William Smith (actor), best known for his villainous role of Falconetti on the ABC mini-series,''Rich Man, Poor Man (TV miniseries)'', and as one of Steve McGarrett's men in the final season of the original ''Hawaii Five-O''. Reese was previously an officer of the Union Army during the American Civil War. Originally from New Orleans, Chad was in the Border Patrol during the war, and joined the Rangers to search for gunrunners who had ambushed fellow border patrolmen. Joe was a gunfighter who was at times on the wrong side of the law. He joined the Rangers to obtain protection from a sheriff. Chad and Joe tease Reese about his age: he was in his forties.
