Ramar of the Jungle is a 1950s American television series that starred Jon Hall as Dr. Tom Reynolds[1] (the titular "ramar" being the natives' title for a white medicine man).[2] In addition to Jon Hall as Dr. Tom Reynolds (Ramar), the series also starred Ray Montgomery as Reynolds' associate, Professor Howard Ogden. Victor Millan played the role of Zahir and Nick Stewart played Willy-Willy.[2]
