Good Eleutheria5....Ken Curtis was on “Gunsmoke” before the ‘Festus’ character, once as a smooth talking lady killer and you would not have recognized him. And he was on ‘Have Gun Will Travel’ ( episode - The Naked Gun-) as Monk an unwashed trapper....best western TV ever...

That episode of “Have Gun Will Travel” was a real gem. Such a memorable moment, when a group of hardcases see the raggedy Curtis (as Monk, the trapper) approaching, and laugh at him like the comical foil he’d already been to them... and then he nonchalantly uses Paladin’s pistol to blow them away!

I seem to recall a sequel episode in which Curtis reprises the character, but it was unfortunately a clunker.
