Gunsmoke - Chester or Festus? I vote Festus. Chester was just too whiney.
Ken Curtis also played a recurring role (not too far removed from the Festus character) in two episodes of Have Gun-Will Travel. One of these showcased his singing skills.
Hey, thanks! Oh, that’s wonderful! He seems half-way-in-and-out of being Festus. Quite extraordinary! The one I’m thinking of was taken the same time this one was... same tree, only his back is against it.
Thanks for the link, bcsco, you ol’ scudder you! I’m going over there just as soon as I finish reading through the thread.
