Regardless, Dennis Weaver was a great actor who was sadly written off Gunsmoke. But this didn’t stop him from working in both film and television for 5 decades. But how did Dennis Weaver get his career started?
Dennis Weaver was born on the fourth of June, 1924, in Joplin, Missouri. Since his childhood days, he wanted to become an actor and knew it would be a struggle since he didn’t come from a show business background.
He was also an accomplished athlete and was briefly considering putting acting aside to become an Olympic-level star. However, after performing poorly at his trials he realized that acting was indeed his destiny.
He began his acting career in the theater. He served as an understudy to actor Lonny Chapman in the play Come Back Little Sheba. He eventually appeared in the play regularly and began honing his acting skills. It was around this time that he decided to join the Actor’s Studio to improve his craft and find more work.
By the time the 1950s came around, he began landing roles in film and television. He especially became famous for his roles in Westerns - both films and TV shows. His role as Chester Goode in Gunsmoke is perhaps the role he’s best known for.
Yet, he was sadly written off the show. But what was the sad reason Dennis Weaver was written off Gunsmoke? What were the struggles he had to overcome following his departure from the show and what were his other achievements in his career? His life was full of trials and tribulations and is one that serves as inspiration for anyone.

I enjoyed that, but being from Joplin myself Dennis would have pronounced it Missour-ah not Missour-ee! Dennis Weave loved to patronize an Ice Cream place that made their own Ice Cream called "Andersons" which was also a favorite of AJ Foyte plus a few of the other old Hollywood legions.
Duel was great. Yes should have mentioned Dennis Weaver starring in that movie. McCloud put him on the high cloud of acting.
I'm a big fan of Chester he was really good
I loved chester on Gunsmoke I wouldn't watch the show if chester wasn't in it
Chester n Doc Adam’s crack me up.
I had the pleasure of running into him in a small grocery store in western Colorado a few years before he passed. Unbelievably friendly and sharply dressed for his age. I’ll never forget his genuine smile.
How awesome 😎
Cool!!!
Oh wow, thx for sharing and glad to hear he wasn't stuck up....I've always liked him....btw whereabouts in western Colorado?
Daisy. He was perfect as Chester. Chester was such a believable character opposite Matt Dillon -sometimes bumbling, always helpful!! He was awarded an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor; and it was well deserved.
My mother was friends with Dennis and Geri Weaver. I met them at a gas station while we were traveling to our cabin in the San Bernardino Mtns. and they were returning home from New Mexico. Geri called out to my mom and they started to talk. I had been a fan of the McCloud TV show and always loved the turquois and silver watchband he wore. When I asked him, he showed me he was wearing it and said he got it in the town McCloud was supposed to be from. Geri chimed in when my dad said how beautiful it was, that she had the catalog at home and would send it to my mom. My mom ordered the watch for my dad for his birthday and after they died, it was left to me as it was my idea to ask about it in the first place, and yes, I still wear it.
Thank you for sharing your life story. We're very happy to know that you had a chance to meet both Dennis and Geri. Memorable memento indeed 💕
ThazzzzCool!👍🏾
How sweet! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
The early Gunsmokes were the best! The chemistry between, Matt, Chester, Doc and Kitty made them a family and part of our families.
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Festus I think was a much better actor on Gunsmoke ! Some time he just cracked me up ! & some of those family members of his , especially those " Perdy " little nieces of his " Miss Blossom ! L oL
Good, but not "the best." I liked Ken Curtis' (who sang with the Sons of the Pioneers) better as "Festus." Also, he was in bigger movies than Weaver, including some with John Wayne! In any case, the change was positive - and may have extended the length of the series.
@@thenov1944 YES! One of my favorite quips from Festus was, "You think THIS is cold? Fiddle; when I was in Wyoming, I poured some coffee outside and it froze so quick, the ice was still warm!"
Completely agree. Loved that cast. Thank you MeTV for allowing me a reunion with this old show.
He was one of our great American born actors. He’ll always be remembered RIP
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Dennis. May he find peace 😥
Great actor and versatile in roles. One of my favorite movies with him is Duel.
We feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your favorite movie of Dennis Weaver! What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
Mine too!!
You really should have mentioned Weaver's role in Spielberg's Duel in 1971.
I can't believe he missed mentioning this iconic movie with Dennis Weaver this is why I remember him is because of Duel.
Great movie.
They showed one photo from that movie
And how about the Twilight Zone episode "Shadow Play"? Insanely great job of acting in that episode
He showed Dennis standing in front of the duel truck when he mentioned his many made for TV movies. 😉
I still watch Gunsmoke everyday. Love all of Dennis Weavers roles that he has played. Wonderful actor.
We're happy to know that you're still watching Gunsmoke today! What is your favorite episode?
YEs watch it everyday but hate when they show one that i have already seen & to know that so many more were filmed !
@@FactsVerse Pluto TV has a Gunsmoke channel. Gunsmoke 24/7.
Me too! Glad MeTV carries it six days a week!
When I worked as a construction inspector I did a lot of work in the Kansas City Metro area. I also went through Dodge City, Kansas. But the most interesting thing to happen was when I found myself on an interesting street corner in Overland Park, the corner of Dennis and Weaver. I have kicked myself for not taking a picture of the street signs.
Ooo..LP
Mmmm.p
In his hometown of Joplin there was a street named Dennis Weaver Blvd. for years.
Loved this guy. Never saw enough of him. 'McLoud' was my favourite out of all Universal's Mystery Movies TV series. He appears in one of my all-time favourite Western movies, 'Duel at Diablo', with Sidney Poitier and James Garner. It's a little known movie which I recommend to anyone. He gives a masterful performance as a really unpleasant, bitter man with a dark secret who you actually feel sorry for as he approaches his end. As Sam McLoud would say - " There you go - Country"
Yeah he was so good as McCloud that Mick Jagger put it in a song... you know, hay hay hee hee get offa McCloud. Old joke....sorry.
Didn't McCloud go galloping on a horse through Manhattan?
"Thar y'go."
Yeah - sure did? That clip was included in the opening credits of all episodes.
P
McCloud
@@DavidRLentz "Thar y'go."
I can't believe you failed to mention his movie Duel I was a young boy when this movie was out and I'll always remember Dennis Weaver because of this movie.
and it was by steven spielburg!!!
My thought, too.
Probably my favorite Dennis Weaver movie …. and McCloud my favorite series
@@paulbare6371 that it was.👍
In the movie Duel, when he runs out of the diner and chases the truck down the road you can see his track star talent, guy could run. Love that movie.
Love Chester he was Great Actor and love Dennis Weaver in everything he started in ❤🙏
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
I love Chester and Dennis Weaver. We are watching reruns of Gunsmoke now, and I really prefer the older episodes with Chester in them. It's fascinating to watch him act. So sweet and simple. I read that when they cast Chester, they wanted to make Marshal Dillon always imposing, so Dennis came up with a limp to make him more of a supportive character. I love that guy.
Half hour black and white episodes ALWAYS the best!
Thank you for sharing your favorite cast members and also for your beautiful message to Chester. What is your favorite episode?
I liked the banter between Chester and Doc,kinda reminded me of some colorful characters in my small hometown growing up. I don’t believe they could make a weekly show like Gunsmoke or The Beverly Hillbillies or any of the late 50’s early 60’s family shows nowadays.
I do too.
Seems to me the character of Chester was supposed to be a simple kind of guy sort of a look out for the marshal on the Gunsmoke radio show which carried over to the tv show.
Absolute fan of Dennis Weaver. I really loved his McCloud character...so many good TV shows from that era we still enjoy today.
Loved Chester on Gunsmoke and Dennis did a great job on all his characters. RIP
We feel the same way! Thank you for watching our content. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
He was in Stevens Spielberg‘s first movie which was made for TV called “Duel”, about a rouge truck driver chasing Dennis Weaver who was a salesman in his car. He showed off his athletic ability when in one scene he runs out of the diner and chases the truck on foot. You can see him sprinting like a track star even though he was in business attire. He also appeared in one episode of the twilight zone call shadow play which he did a great job.
I don'tknow who directed the movie "Devil Truck", (if I have the title right), but wasn't Dennis in that one also? If it was him, I think he did a heck of a job in that too.
I liked the movie DUEL
@@hunt3r36 it's called DUEL
I say it again, Dennis Weaver was a very good actor, a great talent. Miss him.
@@hunt3r36 he was excellent in the role of Chester Good. I really liked Chester
Yes I am a huge fan of Dennis Weaver. I grew up with him on Gunsmoke, and Gentle Ben. He was the greatest. I also like the fact that he remained married to his high-school sweetheart. Never changed. RIP forever.
Even though its a TV movie "Duel" is Dennis Weaver's masterpiece. "Duel" and "Vanishing Point" where the first two DVDs I ever bought.
Two great road thrillers from the early 70s.
The Movie, "Vanishing Point" inspired many cannon ball run attempts. 🤠
Big fan of Dennis Weaver. Especially his iconic role as Chester on Gunsmoke. He brought so much depth to the character and his interactions with the other characters... especially Doc... were priceless.
He was also starred in an episode of “the twilight zone” in season 1(1961)called “Shadow Play”. I would consider that episode a classic.
yes i saw that episode also!
Both Dennis Weaver and Ken Curtis were very good singers and I have enjoyed hearing them sing.
We're happy to know that you were able to see both of these great singers! Thank you for watching our video ♥
FESTUS All The Way ! ! !
Dennis was a wonderful actor on Gunsmoke.
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
A great but overlooked role by Dennis Weaver is that of RJ Poteet in the miniseries “Centennial.”
Joseph Johnson That was the only role I remember him playing,
@@dianabaskin1944 What about his starring in, "McCloud?"
What an exciting and good life Dennis Weaver had. And a great actor to.
God Bless Dennis Weavers soul Jesus!
We need more people like him in 2022.
Thank you for your beautiful message to Dennis! What is your favorite role of him?
I was a fan of Chester on Gunsmoke.
Glad you were a fan of Chester and thank you for watching our content! Stay safe and have a great day ahead 👍
I have to agree Duel was probably his best acting,although it was kind of an off the wall movie. Not to take anything away from Ken Curtis’s portrayal of Festus on Gunsmoke but I believe the best years of Gunsmoke were the first six ,before the show went to an hour long format.
Well said, we absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
I agree with you. I prefer the half-hour episodes and found them to be amazing!
It was Gun Law first - in the UK
"Duel" is always his best performance in my books, I much enjoy him still today, I watch him on TV a lot when "Gunsmoke" comes on. That "Duel" is one of my all time favorites it was intense, I also agree that the 30 min. format was better than 1hr. show. Also to I enjoyed Ken Curtis both great actors.
I completely loved Ken Curtis as Festus and when coupled with Doc Adams, it was shear pleasure.
"DUEL" was his best role directed by a young Stephen Spielberg.
Why was the truck driver in the movie, stalking Dennis Weaver? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Dennis Weaver did a great job in every role he performed. He is a legendary actor, and no one will ever forget him.
We feel the same way! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
You might have mentioned Weaver's role in Duel, Steven Spielberg's movie directorial debut. He had to carry the movie all by himself and did a masterful job of it.
I was always a huge fan of Dennis Weaver..Sad day when he passed away.
YES! We loved Dennis Weaver. Whatever he did in any role, he did it EXCELLENTLY. God rest him. He deserved it.
Glad to know that you're a fan of Dennis! Which Gunsmoke episode is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse I could NOT pick 1 episode. Like I said before, whatever he did, I ENJOYED.
I liked him "Demon Seed"
I especially liked Weaver's role as Poteet, the trail boss on the cattle drive in Centennial.
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.. RJ Poteet
Loved his style of going from nervous to really getting angry and brave. I loved his role as Chester and Duel was masterful!
Us too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. We're very happy to know that you're a fan of Dennis. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I loved McCcloud and his comedic timing even though this was a serious show. His boss was wonderful as well. Wish they still did reruns
In all that you did say about Weaver,there was no mention of his role as McCloud, the lawman from Taos,New Mexico, which was on in the 1970's.
I LIKED DENNIS WEAVER ON GOMSMOKE AND IN THE TV SERIES McCLOUD HE WAS GREAT IN EVERYTHING THAT HE DID.
I'm puzzled about your calling Dennis Weaver's reason for leaving Gunsmoke "sad". There's nothing sad about an actor wanting to pursue different types of roles and wanting to avoid typecasting. It's perfectly normal and understandable. Most actors don't want to be pigeonholed into one role or type. Plus, Dennis Weaver proved he wss talented enough to play different types and avoid the trap of typecasting. Nothing sad about that.
Thanks for saving me from getting sucked in by a dubious title.
It may have been said for some of his fans who enjoyed watching him every week.
Mccloud
@Timothy Ross I think emotional words like “sad” serve as better click bate for higher viewings but agree with you bc he did great as McCloud & other characters. All over thought this is still an interesting piece about him and I think would have got plenty of attention and clicks without the word sad, considering the actor himself and his talent. It was an interesting review about Dennis Weaver as Chester, enjoyed by most, so much appreciated :)
You got that right!
My family and I met him at his Restaurant and Theater in Ouray Colorado. A real gentleman and saw his home which he built out of used tires and other products.
We're very happy to know that you had a nice time with Dennis! Which Gunsmoke episode is the most memorable for you?
Loved him on McCloud he was on olanother show as McCloud i remember him riding a horse thu New York city
Yes, I still watch Gunsmoke every day !!!!
You're a true fan! Which episode are you watching now?
Big fan. Thank you for honoring him.
Glad to know that you're a big fan! What other types of videos would you like to see?
DUEL. One of the best films I've ever seen. Incredible.
Dennis Weaver was a very good actor. I missed him when he left Gunsmoke. I was very happy to see him in other movies. Will miss seeing him.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Dennis! Which episode of Gunsmoke appealed to you the most?
I watch Gunsmoke 6 days a week still on Me TV. I've watched it since the 50s. Chester was a great character.
Glad to know that you're still watching the reruns of Gunsmoke! Which episode is your favorite?
I really also enjoyed him in McCloud.
Dennis Weaver was also on a TV show called, gentle Ben. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Us too! Aside from McCloud, what other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
I’m glad I caught this story about Dennis Weaver, you answered a question I had about him. I always wondered if he really had a disability or was that just part of the show. Now I know ! If they just wanted him to have a limp they sure went overboard.
Our pleasure! Is Dennis Weaver your favorite actor?
I still watch Gunsmoke every day on Insp channel. It is one of my favorites of all the western shows
Dennis Weaver was an excellent actor and the character Chester good was awesome so awesome I'm watching Gunsmoke right now LOL thank you for the video
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
Thank you for your reply I appreciate it and Dennis Weaver did a episode on Twilight Zone and it was good acting thank you again
Still watch GUNSMOKE every day. I LOVE THAT SHOW, and all of the westerns.
We're happy to know that you're still watching Gunsmoke up to this day. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
Dennis was a Great Actor, and I loved Him in Gunsmoke as Chester Goode........🙏🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾👍🏾
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
That "bless your heart" role along with his exaggerated southern drawl and hint of naivety was a perfect match to James Arnass' character. The various writers, producers and directors - MacDonald, Hite, mclaglen, and others we're A+ in putting it all together as well.
I liked Chester. We watched Gunsmoke faithfully since it was my dad's favorite western.
We're happy to know that you love Gunsmoke! What is your favorite episode?
I loved Chester! I remember the first season or so of the TV series being simulcast on radio. We didn't have a TV set yet, but my grandparents did. We would drive to their house listening to the show on the car radio, then rush into the house to watch the rest of the episode in glorious black and white!
I'm about your age & they also simulcast "Dragnet" on the radio! I remember
when we got our first t.v. ,my grandmother refused to watch it on t.v. &
continued to listen to it, in another room!("Gunsmoke was a groundbreaking show!)
Yes, I was a fan of Dennis Weaver!!!! really liked him and gunsmoke, and liked him in other roles over the years!!! I loved his southern/western accent in Gunsmoke and his limp!! it is so sad to hear about all the different actors/actresses, and their passing!! he is missed!! Still love, your grades, voice, narrator!! And your presentation!! Thank you so very much for these great videos of different stars in…❤🙏😇👋👍
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Dennis. Which Gunsmoke episode is the most memorable for you?
Thank you for sharing this information. It makes absolute sense
Favorite actor, Dennis, and all-time TV character -- Chester. Duel may be his best movie.
It’s amazing how things work out for the best. Ken Curtis was a good supporting actor, all the way back to The Searchers, but he became an icon as Festus Hagen.
I didn’t think Gunsmoke would survive the loss of Chester, but was I ever wrong.
Btw, McCloud was my favorite Dennis Weaver role, but was he ever a great Chester?!
Don Knotts would have been a perfect Chester …
I think that the different deputies served the show well. Each one was special. Festus was great!
"there ya go"
Dennis was so versatile. Ranging from a mild mannered side kick to a strong hero. His work was amazing, he is sorely missed. 😇❤️🥰

I loved ♥ Dennis Weaver and Ken Curtis ❤ they were both awesome 🙌
I loved the movie Duel so much I bought it. The first time I saw it I had chills go up and down my spine. These days I still love to watch it the odd time, everything about that movie was excellent. I watched some guy online who went to the house the movie started with and to the wreckage of the vehicles, which are apparently still there.
Another 1 of my top 30 Actors., Thanks Dennis!
Mc Cloud was his best role. He was perfect in that role.
Dennis Weaver was in a scary TV movie called, Don't go to sleep. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

You doggone right, everyone loved Chester Good.
Always enjoyed seeing Mr. Dennis Weaver in Gunsmoke or McCloud. He was very talented. Am appreciative of his military service. May he RIP.
CHESTER WAS UNDOUBTEDLY MARSHAL DILLION’S BEST SIDE MAN! HE COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH AND CRY! RIP DENNIS WEAVER 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I agree, Duel was an excellent performance by a fine actor!!!

Even though the series didn't last long, Gentle Ben was a good show. I enjoyed watching it.
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
I’m younger, but a huge fan of Gunsmoke. It took me a while to warm up to Chester, but after seeing Dennis’s talent for performing that role, Chester really grew on me. I’ve watched MANY MANY gunsmoke episodes on ME-TV, but I can’t pinpoint which episode and how they wrote Chester off...anyone help me on this?
Yes! I love watch Dennis Weaver, great actor!
Enjoyed his work very much and miss him.
We're glad to know that you love Dennis Weaver! What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
I didn't hear any mention of McCloud. He was nominated twice for that show.
I remember Dennis Weaver at his best as the policeman in Mcloud, there i really discovered him, i saw plenty of those feuilletons, they were very exciting for me as for my brother, we watched almost every episode, he was charming, gentle and kind and stayed a real cowboy like in almost the rest of his films, you were good Dennis!
Thank you for your beautiful message for Dennis! Be on the lookout for our next video 💕
Weaver was fantastic as Chester Goode. He always called Matt Mr Dillon and I think the limp was explained as a Civil War injury.
No, he fell out of a window of a building as explanation for the limp he developed to make him less attractive for the role. It was shown in one of the early episodes.
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Chester was also a self proclaimed coffee connoisseur on the show.
Was never explained. From the scripts, Chester was in the Civil War, was in Richmond when it fell, but also was in the cavalry in the Indian Wars after CW, in Texas or KS; also was a cowboy after the war -- so where he got injured is never certain. Weaver claimed he never bothered to imagine Chester's backstory. I didn't believe him.
I LOVED CHESTER IN GUNSMOKE AND AND NOBODY COULD REPLACE HIM. I STILL WATCH ALL RERUNS.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Chester. Which Gunsmoke episode is the most memorable for you?
Yes ‘I like Dennis Weaver. Thanks for this upload.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
People who lived in Western Slope of Co., said Dennis was so friendly to everyone. He was very grounded, and very personable.
He was cast as Chester Proudfoot. The name was changed for the TV show. But we did manage to pronounce all the names right this time. I'm impressed.😊❤
Oh I remember him very much. Great job on the video.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse you are very welcome. What about a video of James Dean. I love James Dean.
Great character and actor. Never forget him. Still watch Gunsmoke.
We always had to watch anything that Dennis Weaver was in and then I found out he was my grandmother's cousin and that's why we had to watch all that
Watching Him on Gunsmoke right now. Absolutely Love Him and will Always Miss Him ❤️
We're happy to know that you love both Dennis and Gunsmoke. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
I love Chester. I watch Gunsmoke every day
We're happy to know that you're a fan of Chester and Gunsmoke. Which episode appealed to you the most?
There were so many but the episode where something was happening that Chester needed Matt immediately. He ran down the sidewalk toward the Marshall's office yelling for him and jumped down three or four steps with his stiff leg and never missed a beat. I doubt if he could ever repeat the feat again. A more serious episode was when a couple of men roped him and dragged him out in the plains.
Am still watching gun smoke in 2022 He really do the limping good ,love the see him.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of Gunsmoke! Who is your favorite cast member?
I always loved Chester on Gunsmoke. His character was as honest as a day’s work. He was lovable. I liked Festus, but to me the deputy in Gunsmoke will always be Chester.
I love watching Gunsmoke with Dennis Weaver.
Yes Chester Good in GunSmoke was a great actor. Saw him in numerous other movies also. Very good.
GUNSMOKE TO ME WAS ONE OF THE BEST WESTERNS OF ALL TIMES EVERYONE WHO WAS ON GUNSMOKE WAS GREAT SO WAS DENNIS WEAVER. LOVE DENNIS IN THE MOVIE DUEL HE WAS GREAT IN IT.
Glad to know that you love Dennis and Gunsmoke. Thanks for sharing. Which episode appealed to you the most?
Gunsmoke is well known to have been the greatest drama TV series in all time.
He has always been my most favorite actor
I likes Dennis very well. I ready like that show McCloud. Hated when I couldn't watch it anymore.
I ran into Dennis Weaver in Hollywood and went into the studio with him as we were talking Joan Collins ran into and told me to get out. Dennis jumped up and told her where to go. A few minutes later Meridith Baxter Burney came in and he told her the same thing. She ran off also. A real down to earth man. I was saddened by his death, Loved him........................
We're happy to hear that you had a chance to meet Dennis. Thank you for sharing this. How was he personally?
I enjoyed the content and delivery.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
I was never a fan of Dennis' until I started binge watching Gunsmoke. IMHO, he should have stayed there. That was (again IMHO) his best work.
I adored Mr Weaver as "McCloud".
It's interesting how he traveled on a horse instead of a car in McCloud. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Thank you for sharing your favorite role of Dennis Weaver! Be on the lookout for our next video ❣
Luv DW & the limp was a brilliant add on bc it definitely gave his character, character. And yes of course u should mention his military service & should have added in more details about that....that's an extremely big event in a man's life and it was great added info.
The only thing sad about Weaver leaving Gunsmoke was the way it was handled by the Gunsmoke storyline. Starting in season 8, sometimes he was there, other times he wasn't. When he wasn't there in seasons 8 and 9 it was often as though he never existed. His Chester character did start to evolve as someone who could pick up a gun and get the job done as seen in the "Quints Trail" Episode 9.7. But, shortly after was his last episode and no explanation for his departure was written in for the viewers.
Yes I am a huge fan of his..
Happy Birthday Dennis 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂
May you Rest in Peace 🙏...

Sadly...in real life...Artimus Gordon had illness at end of the series. So many choices. Anything you do...is Golden. Waiting for your next vid.
Amber waves is a movie I still remember as good, with an ending that will tear your heart out.
I loved watching Chester on GunSmoke!
