John Wayne has a secret veil in Gunsmoke

When “Gunsmoke” was first shown on CBS In 1955, the TV series had already a follow -up fan due to its success as a radio program. This, however, was presented somewhat from a problem given that the radio crew will not move to live repetition. The biggest challenge? Selling viewers on a copy of Marshal, the United States, Matt Delon, who did not possess the voice of William Conrad, who is unambiguous.

James Arnes was barely Newfett when he climbed to the camera to play Delon. He appeared in many Westerners on the big screen and played the monster title in the movie “The Thing from another” for Christian NYBY (which will be later Revolving by John Carptter in the name of “the thing”). At 6’7 “, he was a leading figure, although he was not warm or completely attractive. CBS believed that Arness might get used to each other, and he was not patient enough to wait for him to grow on viewers.

How to sell an actor who does not sell himself immediately? If you cannot connect it with a varied view or present his personality through a pre -existing chain, you are well supported at an angle. Therefore, the network threw Mary’s tricks, hit his friend and participated in the former star, John Wayne. Surprisingly, Wayne, the TV was happy with his work strong.

When TV viewers moved to CBS for the first episode of “Gunsmoke”, they were not treated with her regular opening song. No, they found themselves Stress in the largest cinematic star In Hollywood, which has been recruited to form the quality of the new western series of the network. “Good evening,” he said. “My name is Wayne. Maybe some of you have seen me before. I hope so.”

Wayne (unnecessarily) continued to mention the viewers that he had names in the Westerners, and that he was visiting the living rooms to spread the “weapons” gospel. “No, I’m not in that,” he said. Then he got a shill

“I wish you although” Koz, it’s the best kind of things that come. I hope you agree with me. It is honest, it is an adult, it is realistic. When I first heard about the width of firearms, “I knew that there was only one man playing: it was possible to have been used on it, so it was used. I had to get used to me.

Somewhere in Hollywood, Arnes and “Gunsmoke” actors watched this introduction with a firmly planted jaws on the ground. Ernes was supposed to summoned the Duke, but this was not at all. Arnes had no idea what would have come and could not have been more pleasant. “It was very great,” he said in an interview with the American TV archive.

How good is the word Wayne? CBS finally kept “Gunsmoke” on the air for 20 yearsHelping to launch people’s jobs such as Bert Reynolds and Dennis Weaver. This was not the most obvious show, but for viewers who loved Westerners of meat and meat, it is satisfied again and again. Arness Matt Dillon played in 635 episodes, apart from the championship in the “MCCLAIN’s Law” series in the early eighties, stuck in Westerners for the rest of his career.
