I’ve seen him in one other place. He was one of John Wayne’s co-stars in “The Green Berets.”

I sometimes wonder if Duke knew about Takei, or about Rock Hudson, his co-star in “The Undefeated.”

He was in one other film that I can recall. A misbegotten, better forgotten space western, in which he played the drunken town doctor role. The film was called "Oblivion." and it was as weird as it was awful.

I doubt it. Back in the Duke's day, at least in the middle years, 'the love that dare not speak it's name" was a hush-hush thing. You kept it quiet...or else.

I wonder if this guy knew about Gomer Pyle?

He knew. I don't know if he knew about Takei, but he knew about Hudson. Hudson was one of the most unkept secrets in Hollywood. Hudson was actually losing parts because it was such a poorly kept secret that he was gay that the studios feared it would hit the papers. Wayne gave Hudson the part at a time that it really saved his career. From what I understand, Wayne didn't endorse Hudson's lifestyle, but also didn't pay much attention to it either.

No Hollywood actor could work without working with homosexuals or bisexuals. Richard Deacon, Nancy Culp, Paul Lynde, Agnes Moorehead, Rock Hudson, Dick Sargent, Nancy Walker, George Takaei, William Shatner, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Robert Reed, Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, Katherine Hepburn, Betty Davis, Rosanne Bar, Rosie O'Donnel, Ellen Degeneres, Will Geer(Grandpa Walton), Brian Singer (director, XMen), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and many others were either openly homosexual, closeted, or have had tons of insider rumors about them being homosexual.
