absolutely right. thank you "Jess" for standing up for yourself, because you were Jess. And Smitty was Slim. It was beyond perfect! I'm *almost 80 and have been watching the show for the first time. (I didn't have TV when the show was new.) It has saved my life through Covid and old age. You are beautiful.

I love Grit TV as well.. And they were awesome together..

Bobby Daniels no kidding the best of the best

I agree with you fully SUPERSTARS

I wish I knew how to get in touch with him to get an autographed photo with him as Jess and Dr. Braken.

absolutely. I can't stand Chas Bronson or the others you mentioned. I love Jess and Slim. Have just discovered them, and I watch them all day. Beautiful. A grateful great grandma in Montana.

I was talking to someone this very evening about that but we mentioned lots more actors too who somehow got big film roles for apparently no obvious good reason. Clint Eastwood did very well of course but apart from him, was there a general reluctance to cast actors who’d been in Western tv series …in big films ? I’ve heard Robert Fuller ( on videos on here) explaining about when the content of Westerns became monitored and the action in them was reduced, ie less fights, less shooting. It wouldn’t surprise me if complaints 🙄 about Westerns affected film casting. I’ve seen John Smith only in ‘ Laramie’ but obviously, he was excellent. My favourite, was Robert Fuller, so able to do action, stunts, drama, romance, comedy, dancing …and he could sing pretty well too. Charisma, great speaking voice and very, handsome. Acting ability way above many actors who got lots of big film roles. Sometimes, good film roles can make mediocre actors look good. If the film has a good story etc, the lead actor becomes successful. When watching John Smith and Robert Fuller, plus some others who were excellent, I really do wonder if they weren’t favoured by some casting directors etc - mostly because they’d acted in tv Western series. I can’t think of any other reason although there might be one. Of course, there have been some great actors in films who deserved, to be cast. However, there are quite a few who had huge film careers and the reason they did, is a mystery, apart from the luck they had to be cast ! I don’t mean that RF hasn’t had a terrific career. He did. I mean that I think that he and some others should have been far more appreciated by film makers. One irony is that when there were some complaints about violence in tv Westerns, violence some films, was becoming extreme. Cowboys were illogically complained about for being the good guys but other actors, eg Charles Bronson, were not. So in films, violence got a pass but if there was any on tv Westerns, some parents complained, as if they had no control over their tv sets or, what their children watched.

william stovall I have had a crush on him since I was 5 years old, coming up for 60 years. Lucky enough to meet him in 2015 and he was the sweetest, gentleman ever with a twinkle in those beautiful blue eyes.
