Many people have
portrayed Tonto over the
years, but the best-known
of them all is Jay
Silverheels. The Lone
Ranger's faithful Indian
companion was first played
on the radio by John Todd.
Chief Thundercloud (Victor
Daniels) played him in the
early movie serials.
Silverheels was cast for
the part on television in
1949. He did the entire run
of the series and two
subsequent movies.
Michael Horse did an
outstanding portrayal in
The Legend of the Lone
Ranger.
The last one to play the
part was Nathaniel Arcand,
who shined in the WB's
ill-fated adaptation in 2003.
