Hollywood merry go round these days for actors who ride it to a livelihood is a role in the CBS Television Gunsmoke series once played the one said recently chances are had it They seldom call you Gunsmoke producer Norman Macdonnell acknowledging that it is hard for an actor to get even one role in the series says: fortunate in having a buyers market Everyone wants to work for us because Gunsmoke is a top rated show on television We can always get the people we want reason few are called back for more than one Macdonnell explained that we want their faces to become too familiar By and large we want viewers to think of them as Kansans of the rather than as familiar actors in new More than 600 actors have worked on Gunsmoke during its first four years Macdonnell pointed out This amounts to nearly 10 per cent of the total Hollywood membership of the Screen Guild a remarkable percentage for a single television show most of these have worked only once Macdonnell said are exceptions are the people of Dodge City who lend a certain stability to the population and provide continuity to the background against which our stories are laid Champion Gunsmoke player other than star Jim Arness and featured players Dennis Weaver Amanda Blake and Milburn Stone is Bert Rum-sey who has been in 20 episodes of the frontier drama Rumsey has played Sam the bartender of the Longbranch Saloon 19 times Once he was promoted to the role of Bill Pence half owner with Kitty Russell (Miss Blake) Other townsfolk include Mr Jonas proprietor of the general store Jim and Hank the stagecoach drivers the clerk at the Dodge House hotel Mr Botkin the banker Moss Grimmick proprietor of the stable and Tobeel the Indian guide Mr Jonas has been played 10 times by Dabbs Greer and a few more when Greer was unavailable by others Bob Brubaker has played one of the stagecoach drivers more than anyone else which amuses him somewhat since he was a bomber pilot during World War II and he says he gets the feeling that retrogressing Howard Culver has played the hotel clerk eight times Wilfrid Knapp has played Mr Botkin five times and Joe Kearns has played the role when Knapp was not
