Duke Snider on The Rifleman

Just watched an episode and was thinking one of the bad guys looks a lot like Duke Snider. And yes I knew Chuck Connors played with the Dodgers but didn’t know the Duke ever played on The Rifleman. The episode is called the retired gun

Also John Anderson was one of the bad guys and if you don’t recognize his face you haven’t watched much Gunsmoke or The Rifleman, he was a character actor who seemingly found work constantly. I know he was in bonanza as a guest and probably many other westerns.

    Think Gunsmoke was one of the longest running TV westerns.

    Matt Dillon (James Arness) played the monster in "The Thing From Another World",1951. His brother was Peter Graves, he of the TV series "Mission Impossible" fame.

    Peter Graves could have had a career killing role in the movie Stalag 17 when he played the German spy pretending to be an American downed pilot. I guess he refused to be typecast after that role, and went on to have a very successful movie career. Including a very funny role as the pilot in the movie Airplane.

    Johnny Crawford played an Indian in a movie or television episode. His nose grew much faster than the rest of his face. Sometimes child actors lose that cuteness

    Graves also stared in the western flavored TV show "Fury": "The story of a horse and the boy who loved him" so went the show's intro.

    Stalag 17 was an exceptional film directed by Billy Wilder

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
