Then you have guys like James Arness who rode Gunsmoke right into old age and then made a couple of Gunsmoke movies.

Pernell Roberts starred in the pilot for "San Francisco International" and was then replaced by Lloyd Bridges when it went to series.

I was just a kid when that happened but I get the impression that a lot of viewers really resented it when he left. People loved their Bonanza and they didn’t like it when big shot actors messed with it.

Pernell Roberts had a decent run on “Trapper John, MD”, based on an older current day version of Wayne Rogers character.
