Ralph Endersby is usually remembered and is pictured as Junior Ranger Leader Chub Stanley on the CBC TV series, The Forest Rangers, which was seen in more than 40 countries, including Hong Kong and Australia. It was the first series in Canada to be produced in colour and ran for three seasons and 104 episodes from 1963 to 1965. The series featured Gordon Pinsent who played Sergeant Scott, Rolland Bédard, Pierre Dufresne and many others. A 50th anniversary reunion in June of 2013 was held at the Kleinberg Studios where the series was shot, northwest of Toronto. Endersby made only a few rare appearances after The Forest Rangers including showing up in one 1969 episode of Adventures in Rainbow Country which starred Lois Maxwell. Endersby was the Producer for the 1989 made-for-TV movie The Challengers.
