@VIDEOTIMEMACHINE Not so---the original Creature was master diver Ricou Browning. Arness, as I recall, was under contract to Warner Brothers, and just going into production on GUNSMOKE's first season. In subsequent films The Creature was played at least once by a stuntman named Ben Chapman.

@8524frank ...I understand what you mean, colored people would have degraded the west and God forbid if the mexicans weren't bad, it would not be a good show then. only white americans of european extraction are moral. And those immoral indians being killed by the white man for no reason except for being here first...GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! I LOVED Gunsmoke, lets not make it a racial issue. Frank do some research, there were sometimes Black characters from time to time. Let's be for real!!!

My grandfather loved Gunsmoke, my father loves Gunsmoke, and I love Gunsmoke. Sorry to the family for the passings and our prayers are with you.

@trwent Mannon was played by Steve Forrest who starred in a ton of stuff himself. Being a Columbo fan, I have an episode on DVD called "A Bird in the Hand" where he appeared as "Big Fred."
"Mannon" was a perfect example of a sociopath with absolutely no empathy for other human beings, which is what makes it so satisfying to see him taken down under the influence of a a woman's (Kitty) power to break down a man's ego to the point of malfunction to give Matt the advantage he needed.
